US Woman Living in SA Breaks Down Underwear Size Differences

Moving to a new country means discovering all kinds of unexpected differences — and one American content creator has found a topic that has South Africans in stitches. Kourtney Holliday, known online as @iamkourtneyjade, has been living in South Africa for three years when she decided to share her observations about a very specific cultural difference: underwear sizing and cuts.

In a lighthearted TikTok video, Kourtney compared the fit, sizing charts, and styles she’s grown accustomed to in the United States against what she finds on South African shelves. From how the numbers translate to the actual cut and coverage, she pointed out that what looks like the same size can feel surprisingly different depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re shopping.

South Africans were quick to weigh in, and the comments section turned into a hilarious shared experience. Many admitted they’d long suspected the sizing worked differently, while others joked about finally understanding why they sometimes seemed to need a completely different size depending on where they shopped. It’s a fun reminder that even the smallest, most everyday things can reveal delightful differences between cultures — and give everyone a good laugh along the way.
