Hello there!
We' ve gathered some of the most common real questions Shapellx customers ask—questions that might have made you pause, wonder, or feel unsure at some point. Instead of quick replies, we' ve shared our honest, thoughtful answers all in one place.
If any of these questions sound familiar, or if you' re curious to learn more, keep reading—we' re glad you' re here.
1. Do Shapellx shapewear run small? Should I size up?
This is our most frequently asked question.
Here’s the honest answer:
👉 Shapellx uses standard US sizing. Our shapewear is not intentionally made smaller.
That said, if you’re between two sizes, here’s how to choose:
-
Prefer stronger shaping and compression → choose the smaller size
-
Prefer comfort and all-day wear → choose the larger size
💡 A helpful tip:
Shapewear shouldn’t feel “loose” on first try—but it also shouldn’t restrict your breathing or movement.
The right fit feels supportive, secure, and smooth, not painful.
2. How do I choose the right size based on my body measurements?
We always recommend this order of importance:
Waist & hip measurements ＞ Weight ＞ Height
Because shapewear works mainly on the waist, abdomen, and hips, these measurements matter the most.
If you’re unsure:
-
Measure your waist and hips
-
Check the size chart for the specific product
-
If you’re still between sizes, refer back to the guidance above
👉 Different Shapellx collections (like AirSlim® and Bare Essentials™) follow the same sizing logic, but offer different levels of shaping.
3. What’s the difference between AirSlim® and Bare Essentials™?
This is a great question—and an easy one to misunderstand.
AirSlim® and Bare Essentials™ are not opposing product lines.
They describe different dimensions of a Shapellx product.
AirSlim® = How it’s made (technology & construction)
AirSlim® refers to a construction technique, not a specific product category.
-
Focuses on advanced stitching and fabric engineering
-
Designed to provide stronger shaping and a more sculpted, supportive fit
-
Helps create shaping support without bulk or stiffness
In short, AirSlim® is about the technology behind the comfort and shaping.
Bare Essentials™ = What it’s for (product category & usage)
Bare Essentials™ is a product group, defined by how and when you wear it.
-
Designed for everyday wear
-
Prioritizes natural shaping, softness, and invisibility under clothes
-
Ideal for work, daily errands, lounging, or long hours of wear
Bare Essentials™ is about use cases and lifestyle fit.
Can one product be both? Yes. Absolutely.
Many Shapellx pieces are designed to combine both:
-
Bare Essentials™ products
→ made with AirSlim® construction
That means you’re getting:
-
Everyday-friendly design plus
-
Advanced comfort and shaping technology
And together, they’re what make Shapellx feel supportive—without ever feeling restrictive.
4. Is Shapellx suitable for fuller busts or plus sizes (for example, 44F)?
Yes—and inclusivity is something we design for from the start.
Many Shapellx bras and bodysuits feature:
-
High-coverage, supportive cup structures
-
Wide straps and stable underbands
-
Support without excessive squeezing
The goal is not to “push” or flatten—but to lift, support, and balance naturally.
Many fuller-bust customers tell us:
“It feels secure without feeling restrictive.”
5. Will it feel too tight or limit my movement?
A simple rule of thumb:
-
❌ If you feel short of breath or uncomfortable sitting down → the size may be too small
-
✅ If you can walk, sit, bend, and breathe comfortably → that’s proper shapewear support
Shapellx is designed to work with your body—not against it.
Shaping should feel reassuring, not exhausting.
6. Will it lose shape or shrink after washing?
With proper care, no.
We recommend:
-
Cold water wash (hand wash or gentle cycle)
-
Use a laundry bag if machine washing
-
No tumble drying
-
Lay flat to dry
This helps maintain elasticity, fit, and shaping performance over time.
7. Can I wear Shapellx postpartum or during body changes?
Absolutely—and many customers discover Shapellx during this phase.
Our advice:
-
Don’t rush to “get your old body back”
-
Choose styles that offer comfort and flexibility
-
As your body stabilizes, you can explore firmer shaping options if desired
Shapewear should support you—not pressure you.
8. What if the size doesn’t fit? Can I exchange it?
Yes.
As long as the item is unworn, unwashed, and has original tags attached,
our customer care team will guide you through the exchange process.
Many customers tell us:
“The first size was close, but the exchange helped me find the perfect fit.”
Final Thoughts: Comfort Comes Before Perfection
Shapellx isn’t about forcing bodies into unrealistic shapes.
It’s about supporting posture, confidence, and natural elegance—comfortably.
