If you're trying on shapewear for the first time, you'll notice that it's not your typical undergarment.It is critical to put it on correctly in order to achieve the best results (and the most comfort). You'll have to be careful not to stretch or pull the garment too tightly. It  should be snug idealy to doing its job properly. Keep in mind its could take up to 15 min. Make sure you ordered the correct size before trying anything on. A garment that is too small will be difficult to put on and will not provide the desired results. A well-fitting garment will keep you firmly in place without pinching, resulting in a flattering finish.

Before putting on the shapewear, make sure your body is dry, free of any products such as oils and moisturizers.

- Make sure all hooks, clasps and zippers are open. From a seated position, with your fingertips, take the bodysuit by the sides and put one foot at a time into it. Pull the bodysuit up to your knees.

- Stand up, spread your legs apart and continue to pull the garment up to a comfortable fit.

- Put on the straps and adjust them to your comfort. Use a mirror to check that the garment has not rolled up and is in its rightful position.

- To close it, hook up the inner hooks from the bottom up and then close the zipper. If open-bust, the shaper should be placed to surround the bra on the bottom.

The Post- Surgery Girdles are essential to the recovery process. 

The pressure exerted by the compression garment helps keep the tissues in place after surgery. This helps protect the incision site and inner structures from injury and reduces the risk of pain and inflammation in the body.

Stage 1 Fajas; (Low to Medium Compression ) need to be worn right after plastic surgery for at least 6 weeks. It should be worn with your lipo foams and abdominal board during the day. At night, you may remove your abdominal board.

Stage 2 Fajas; (Medium Compression) Wear it after 6 weeks to continue shaping and contouring the body, or wear it as shapewear. It is meant to fit tightly and should be worn alone.

Stage 3 Fajas; ( High Compression) This is the stage of sculpting. Your body must have recovered from at least 90% of the trauma caused by surgery. At this point, you will downsize from previous garments and assist the body in achieving the desired shape.

To choose the correct compression, please see the size guide on each product page.

After this time (as your body is completely healed), you can start wearing the Latex shapewear. 

To archive the best results, Postpartum girdle should be worn continuously for 24 hrs for a minimum period of 10 –30 days. After this time, you are able to take it off at night. Please make sure your garment is not too tight. Too much compression can slow your healing.
