This calculator helps you find the right level of shapewear compression for your goals. You'll select your desired outcome (e.g., light smoothing, moderate shaping, firm control) and the calculator will recommend a compression level. It translates subjective feelings like 'snatched' or 'gently hugged' into more objective guidance you can use while shopping.

Shapewear compression isn't one-size-fits-all. Choosing a level that's too light won't give you the results you want, while a level that's too firm can be uncomfortable and even unhealthy for long-term wear. This calculator ensures you choose a compression level that is both effective for your shaping goals and safe and comfortable for your body.

Your recommended compression level (e.g., Light, Medium, Firm, Extra-Firm) is a guide to reading shapewear product labels. Use this to find garments that match your needs. For 'Firm' control, look for products with reinforced panels and high-power fabrics. For 'Light' smoothing, you might choose seamless, stretchy styles. This helps you decode marketing terms and make an informed choice.

• For the most accurate recommendation, consider the type of clothing you'll be wearing over the shapewear.
• Always step into your shapewear, even camisoles. Pulling it over your head can cause it to get tangled and stretched.
• Light compression is perfect for smoothing under t-shirts and casual dresses.
• Firm compression is ideal for more structured garments like cocktail dresses or formal gowns.
• Remember that shapewear is a tool to enhance your confidence, not a requirement to change your body.
