Compression Guide
Find your compression level
Compression is the amount of shaping force a garment applies. The right level depends on what you're wearing it for — not on your size. Here's how to choose.
★★☆☆☆ Light Compression
Best for: everyday wear, work, layering, sleep-adjacent comfort.
- Gentle, barely-there support
- Smooths without restricting
- Most breathable option
- Ideal if you're new to shapewear
★★★☆☆ Medium Compression
Best for: everyday sculpting, office days, dinners, fitted dresses and jeans.
- Visible waist shaping and tummy control
- Smooths hips, back and midsection
- Comfortable for all-day wear
- Our most popular level
★★★★★ Firm Compression
Best for: special occasions, weddings, photoshoots, structured evening looks.
- Maximum shaping and waist definition
- Strong tummy and back control
- Best worn for several hours at a time, not overnight
Which level for which moment?
| Occasion | Recommended level |
|---|---|
| Everyday wear | Light – Medium |
| Work / office | Light – Medium |
| Sport & movement | Light |
| Parties & events | Firm |
| Postpartum | Light – Medium (after clearance from your doctor) |
Fit rules that always apply
- Snug and supportive, never painful.
- If it pinches, digs in or restricts your breathing, size up.
- Between sizes? Larger for comfort, smaller for stronger shaping.
- Shapewear should never leave deep marks or numbness. Take it off if it does.
Note: shapewear shapes your silhouette while you wear it. It does not cause permanent body changes or weight loss.
