Shapewear Safely

Measure yourself correctly following our guide and make sure your item fits right for you. Like any item of clothing, wearing the wrong size can cause discomfort.

Wearing a smaller size may not improve your silhouette but can cause harm to your ribs, which should not be compressed.

We understand our customers use our products every day while at work or school but its best to limit the periods you wear your shapewear as much as possible.

NEVER sleep in your shapewear.

You must take breaks when wearing any shapewear for an extended period.

Our shapewear is suitable for swimming and exercising.

Our Light option can be worn while exercising without sizing up.

When wearing our Short or Long options we recommended sizing up to give yourself more room to move and to put less pressure on your chest while exerting yourself.

Pay extra attention to your breathing and listen to your body.

We recommend you measure yourself periodically to keep track of body changes which may change your size. Sometimes you gain or lose weight without realising. Your ribs continue to grow until you are 25, and taking some medications can rapidly affect your body composition.

Our products are not intended for use for those under 18.

As you are wearing an extra layer, it can get hot especially in summer or in warmer climates. Wear light, breathable clothing. Make sure you find shade and drink lots of water in these occasions and take breaks from compression when you can so that you don’t overheat.

Our vests are made from the highest quality fabrics, however as they are tight and made to be very strong- like any tight item of clothing, they can rub on your skin.

When you first get your vest, the front panel can be stiff, you can handwash it with fabric softener to help with this. Moisturizing helps and you can also wear a thin t-shirt underneath to protect your skin if you have sensitivities.

If you experience any negative side effects including: chest pain, shoulder pain, back pain, abdominal pain, light-headedness, heartburn or shortness of breath, stop wearing the vest immediately and consult with your doctor.

If you have any relevant medical condition, you should consult a doctor before using compression shapewear.
