How do I choose the right size shapewear?

Choosing the right size shapewear is essential for achieving the best results. It's important to take accurate measurements of your waist, hips, and bust to determine the correct size. Refer to the size chart provided by GRAPE and compare your measurements to find the best fit. Keep in mind that shapewear should be snug but not too tight, as this can cause discomfort and affect the effectiveness of the garment.

What types of shapewear are available?

There are various types of shapewear available to suit different body shapes and preferences. Some common types include bodysuits, waist cinchers, thigh shapers, and tummy control panties. Bodysuits provide full-body shaping, while waist cinchers and thigh shapers target specific areas. Tummy control panties offer a more subtle effect and can be worn under everyday clothing. Our business carries a wide range of shapewear options , so you're sure to find the perfect style for your needs. 

How do I care for my shapewear?

Proper care and maintenance of your shapewear are essential for ensuring its longevity and effectiveness. Always check the care instructions on the label and follow them carefully. Most shapewear can be hand washed or machine washed on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the garment. Hang or lay flat to dry, and avoid using a dryer or iron. With proper care, your shapewear can last for many wears and provide the desired shaping effect every time.

Can shapewear be worn every day?

Shapewear can be worn every day, but it's important to choose the right style and size for your needs. Shapewear should be comfortable enough to wear for extended periods without causing discomfort or restricting movement. If you plan to wear shapewear every day, consider choosing a style that provides moderate shaping rather than maximum compression. It's also essential to take breaks from wearing shapewear to allow your body to breathe and avoid any potential health risks.
