The right shapewear size is essential for comfort, support, and real results — whether you're wearing it daily or recovering from a procedure. This guide walks you through exactly how to measure so you can shop with confidence.
Too tight and you'll deal with rolling, pressure marks, and restricted movement; too loose and you lose the compression that actually delivers results.
Whether you're wearing it daily or post-surgery, the right size means your body gets the support it needs where it needs it most — making every hour in your shapewear count.
Wear light clothing, or measure directly over undergarments for the most accurate fit. Avoid measuring over thick fabric or a regular bra.
Feet together, shoulders relaxed. Don't hold your breath or pull the tape too tight — it changes the read.
You should be able to slip one finger under the tape. Small adjustments in how you measure make a big difference in fit.
A soft tape, a mirror, five minutes. That's all you need.
Wrap the soft tape around the narrowest part of your waist — typically 1–2 inches above your belly button. Keep it snug, but loose enough to slip one finger underneath.
Stand straight, exhale naturally, and take the measurement. Pulling too tight leads to sizing down, which affects how your shapewear fits and performs.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and glutes, keeping it parallel to the floor — usually 7–9 inches below your natural waist.
Snug, not tight. Don't pull in — you want an accurate measurement, not a smaller number.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the ground and snug but not tight.
Only required for full-body shapewear. If you're sizing a waist or lower-body style, you can skip this step.
Measure from the top of your shoulder straight down to your lower abdomen, stopping just below the navel. Especially important for long-torso or post-surgical garments.
If your torso falls between sizes, size up to ensure full coverage and avoid rolling or bunching at the hem.
Compare your measurements against the chart on each product page. Always go by the largest measurement — if your hips are medium but your waist reads small, choose medium.
Between two sizes? Size up for everyday wear, or size down for a firmer post-surgical compression fit.
A garment designed for a curvier frame performs differently than one cut for a straighter silhouette. Pick yours.
Your hips and thighs carry more volume than your waist, so size up to fit your hips — you can always adjust compression at the waist. Look for flexible hip panels and firm waist banding.
Look for full tummy-control panels and firm back support — these features work together to smooth and redistribute the midsection evenly. Avoid styles with minimal front coverage.
Your bust and hips measure close to the same width with a noticeably smaller waist — a proportioned frame that works with nearly every shapewear style available.
Built-in waist compression and hip-shaping panels work well to create the curves you want. Look for structured boning or reinforced waist panels for definition where you need it most.
Each line is built for a different fit. Pick the one you're shopping — we'll size you up next.

Shop this brandAlways size up. A slightly looser fit is more comfortable and safer, especially for post-surgical use. Choose the smaller size only if your measurements fall very close to the lower size and you specifically want firmer compression.
No. Shapewear is sized by body measurements, not clothing brands. Always measure your waist, hips, and bust before ordering — clothing sizes vary too much across brands to be reliable here.
Yes — swelling after surgery is normal and will affect which size works best in those first weeks. Many start with a Stage 1 designed for swollen tissue, then transition to Stage 2 as swelling reduces. Always follow your surgeon's recommendations first.
Snug and firm — but you should be able to breathe deeply and move without restriction. If you notice numbness, marks that don't fade, or you can't take a full breath, size up. Compression that's too aggressive works against you, not for you.
Browse by size, compression level, or recovery stage. Whether you need everyday shaping or post-surgical support, every option is built to deliver real results from day one.
