what size do I need? : hug-a-bub

Our most common question.

Huggable

This is definitely the most popular size of all. A versatile size that fits 98% of all our customers. It fits all sizes from SMALL women to EXTRA LARGE men.

example:   UNIVERSAL - small, medium, large, extra large
  AUSTRALIAN WOMAN - size 8 up to size 18
  UK / USA WOMAN - size 32 up to size 40

Very Huggable

For really tall people or those very huggable people who wear XX LARGE clothing.

For most cases if there is a large difference between the partners sizes ie: Medium Mum, XXL Dad we generally recommend that they buy the HUGGABLE hug-a-bub®. It is much easier for the dad to leave the tie of the hugabub around his back (if it is a little short), than it is for the mum to cope with metres of fabric left over dangling in front of her.

If on the other hand one partner was XL and the other XXXL, we would suggest this size.

example:   UNIVERSAL -XX large, XXX large
  AUSTRALIAN WOMAN - size 18 up to 22
  UK / USA WOMAN - size 40 up to size 44

Extremely Huggable

Every now and again we will get a request to fit an extremely huggable person... so we have designed the EXTREMELY HUGGABLE® just for them.

However, If only one partner is a EXTREMELY HUGGABLE and the other is a HUGGABLE, we would always recommend that you buy BOTH SIZES in this case, as the huggable sized partner would get lost in the extra metres of fabric wrapped around them.

example:   UNIVERSAL - xxx large and over
  AUSTRALIAN WOMAN - size 22 and over
  UK / USA WOMAN - size 44 and over


Most Comon Sizing Question

Q: I am dress size 12-14 and my husband has a 44 chest. We need to be sure that we order the right size.

A: 98% of all our sales are the huggable size. You see there is no fixed structure, just a long piece of fabric which ties in a knot at the front of you. The fabric is designed to stretch so after you wear it, it will accommodate a lot bigger size. Generally the huggable will fit Adult sizes, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE AND EXTRA LARGE.

This scenario you speak of is very common and we always recommend that you get the huggable size. It is much easier for your partner to leave the tie of the hug-a-bub® around his back (if it is a little short), THAN it is for you to cope with metres of fabric left over dangling in front of you. The fabric is designed to stretch so after you wear it, it will accommodate a lot bigger size... the longer you wear it, the longer it will become. A simple wash and dry will bring it back to its original length (or close to it).
