Quick answer

Shapewear is sized by the measurement it controls: waist for cinchers, waist and hips for briefs and saree shapewear, hips for thigh shapers, and all three for bodysuits. Never size down for more control. A too-small piece rolls down, digs in and shows lines. With a 30-inch waist and 39-inch hips, a high-waist brief is size M.

How to measure

  1. Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the fullest.
  2. Add bust only for bodysuits.
  3. Pick the type; the calculator uses the measurements that matter for it.

Frequently asked questions

Should I size down in shapewear?
No. Your true size gives the best smoothing. Sizing down causes rolling and discomfort.
What size saree shapewear should I buy?
Buy by the larger of your waist and hip sizes, since it has to pass over your hips and hold the saree at the waist.
How long can I wear shapewear?
For daily wear, choose a light-control piece. Take it off if it causes tingling, pain or breathing difficulty.
