"How much hold do I need?" It's the question we get most — and getting it right is the difference between shapewear you love and shapewear you shove to the back of the drawer. Here's the simple version. 🤍
Light compression is your everyday hero. It smooths gently and you'll genuinely forget you're wearing it — perfect under a t-shirt, jeans, or anything you'll have on from morning to night. Think of it as a soft, invisible base layer. Most first-timers should start here.
Medium compression is the sweet spot for a smooth line under something fitted — a bodycon dress, a pencil skirt, a wrap dress. It gives noticeable smoothing while still being comfortable enough for a long day at the office or a dinner out. If you want "put-together but still easy," this is it.
Firm compression is for occasions, not all day. It gives you real structure and definition — lovely for a wedding, a party, or a gown you want to look flawless in for a few hours. The honest truth: it's a stronger hold, so it's a "for tonight" choice. We'd never recommend living in it from 9 to 5.
Two things to remember whatever you pick: none of them should ever hurt — firmer means more support, not more pain. And compression level and size work together — going too small in a firm piece is where discomfort really begins, so size for comfort every time.
Still deciding? Match the level to the moment: everyday → light, fitted outfit → medium, big event → firm. Or inbox and let us pick for you. Comfortable at every level — that's the whole point. 🤍
