Measure your own body measurements before buying a shaping shorty
Honestly, the most important tip to remember from this article is to always have a tape measure handy when you shop online! In this article we will see the best practices to determine your size before buying your shaping shorts .
Take measurements correctly
Take out your tape measure (if you don't have one, a piece of string and a ruler will do) and place it around your waist, at the narrowest point, which is often just above the belly button. Be careful not to tighten too tightly so as not to distort the measurements, and keep the tape measure horizontal. Take a deep breath, exhale normally and read the measurement. There you have it, your waist measurement!
Now, let’s move on to your hip measurement. Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips, making sure to include the most prominent part of your butt. Again, make sure the tape measure is level and not too tight. And there you have it, your hip measurement!
Now that you have your measurements, write them down on your smartphone, it's the best way to always have them at hand.
Consult the manufacturer's size guide

Choosing the right size for your shaping shorts
Do not take a size too small
So, we all know that the idea of a shaping shorty is to improve the appearance of our figure, but be careful not to fall into the trap of choosing a size that is too small in the hope of obtaining the best possible figure thanks to extreme compression!
- Discomfort and excessive compression: If you choose a size that is too small, you risk feeling compressed and oppressed; this configuration is not ideal for lasting a full day or evening wearing shaping underwear.
- Unwanted wrinkles or bulges: Choosing a shapewear shorty that has an unsuitable size can cause unflattering bulges in areas that are usually smooth. And that's not really the desired effect, is it?
Avoid choosing a size that is too large
Conversely, a size that is too big can also cause a lot of inconvenience. To start with, the shaping power will be greatly reduced and in addition the shorty will not stay in place around your body. A model that is too loose is very likely to be seen through your clothes and believe me, it is not at all aesthetic!
Test different brands and models
Underwear, we agree that you don't have just one? Do the same with the shaping shorty, buy several of different brands and sizes in order to find the perfect model that will show you off perfectly! Click on the following underlined text to find out: How to choose a shaping shorty .
