'normal' and 'regular' can both express that something corresponds to the standard. 'normal' is the natural German word for ordinary situations and is used very broadly. 'regular' is borrowed from English and sounds natural only in certain areas, for example with clothing, products, or in business language. So in everyday language you would usually say 'normale Größe' (normal size), but on the label of a pair of pants it may say 'regular fit'. For German learners, 'normal' is usually the safe choice.
