Size is one of the factors that most affects your experience with shapewear. Choosing a garment that is too large may reduce support, but choosing one that is too small does not mean you will get a better result.
Start with your current measurements
Do not rely only on your jeans size or a size you used to buy months ago. Take the measurements requested in the brand’s sizing guide and compare them with the chart for the specific style you want to purchase.
Shapewear should feel firm, not unbearable
It may feel snug when you fasten it, but you should be able to breathe normally and move appropriately for the type of garment. Pain, tingling, numbness or pressure that progressively worsens are signs that the fit should be reassessed.
Body proportions also matter
Two people with the same waist measurement may have different proportions at the hips, torso or thighs. Review all relevant measurements and, if you fall between sizes, ask for guidance before choosing.
Not every style fits the same way
Material, garment length, compression panels and closure systems can make two styles feel different. Always review the information for the specific product.
If you need help, you can contact San Angelo through WhatsApp before purchasing and have your measurements ready. For post-surgical use, also confirm with your professional what type of compression your recovery requires.
