Comfort Meets Confidence With:

At Slexy, we believe every body is a Slexy body, and the right shapewear should enhance your natural curves, not squeeze you into discomfort. The trick? Understanding your body shape and picking styles that complement your unique proportions. Let’s break it down by body type so you can find your perfect fit.

Sizing and Fit Tips

When it comes to shapewear, fit is everything. The most luxurious material or the perfect design won’t mean a thing if it doesn’t fit your body just right. At Slexy, we’re all about getting that second-skin feel without any discomfort, digging, or awkward rolling. Here’s your ultimate guide to nailing the perfect shapewear size and fit—because when it fits right, it feels right.

1. How to Measure Yourself Correctly

Before buying any shapewear, put the guessing aside. Grab a soft measuring tape and measure the following areas:

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape snug but not tight.
  
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso—usually just above the belly button.
  
• Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure the widest part of your hips and butt.
  
• Torso Length (for bodysuits): Measure from your shoulder, down the front, through the legs, and up the back to your starting point.
  
  

Slexy Tip: Always measure over bare skin or tight-fitting clothes to get the most accurate numbers.

2. Understand the Importance of True Fit

We get it—going a size down sounds tempting. More compression = better shape, right? Wrong. Wearing shapewear that’s too tight can cause:

• Bulging at the edges
  
• Rolling or slipping down
  
• Restricted breathing or movement
  
• Skin irritation or pinching
  

On the flip side, going a size up may feel comfier but won’t give you the sculpting or smoothing you’re looking for.

 

The sweet spot: Snug enough to shape, but comfortable enough to move freely.

3. What to Avoid When Sizing Shapewear

• Don’t rely on your clothing size alone. Brands vary—your jeans size isn’t always your shapewear size.
  
• Don’t size down for a “more slimming” effect. It won’t work and will likely be unbearable.
  
• Don’t ignore height or torso length. Bodysuits, in particular, need to accommodate vertical stretch.
  
• Don’t skip the size chart. At Slexy, we provide detailed size guides to help you pick the perfect fit.
  

4. Compression Levels Matter

Different outfits and occasions call for different compression levels. At Slexy, our shapewear comes in three main categories:

• Light Compression – Ideal for everyday smoothing. You’ll barely feel it on.
  
• Medium Compression – Great for contouring under semi-fitted outfits like jeans, skirts, or workwear.
  
• Firm Compression – Best for special occasions and body-hugging dresses. Sculpting power without the discomfort.
  

Slexy Tip: Start with light or medium compression if you’re new to shapewear. It’s easier to get used to and helps build confidence before moving to firmer options.

 

5. Consider Your Outfit Before Sizing

Different outfits = different fit needs. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• For dresses and gowns: Go for shapewear with more structure and length—like bodysuits or slips.
  
• For pants and jeans: High-waist briefs or shorts should hug your torso without digging into your waistband.
  
• For sheer outfits: Size down only if the fabric has high stretch and you need added control without showing seams.
  
• For casual wear: Choose shapewear that’s slightly looser but still smooths—comfort is key here.
  

6. Slexy’s Size-Inclusive Promise

We don’t do “one size fits all” here. Slexy offers a wide range from XS to 6XL because real bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Every body deserves to feel confident and comfortable—and we’re committed to making that happen.

Whether you're petite, tall, curvy, plus-size, postpartum, or somewhere in between, our designs flex with your body—not against it.

7. How to Try On Shapewear the Right Way

Tried and true tips for a frustration-free fitting session:

• Step into your shapewear—even bodysuits. It’s easier than pulling it over your head.
  
• Gently pull up and adjust as you go. Don’t yank or force it into place.
  
• Smooth out any bunching around the seams and make sure it lies flat against your body.
  
• Do the “sit test”—if it pinches or cuts in when sitting, you may need a size up.

Pro Tip: Try shapewear on over clean, thin underwear when testing the fit for hygiene and comfort.

8. What If You’re Between Sizes?

If you're in between two sizes, the right choice depends on your goal:

• Want more comfort and movement? Go with the larger size.
  
• Need more contouring for a tighter look (like for an event)? You can try the smaller size, but ensure it's still breathable and flexible.

Slexy Suggestion: For frequent wear, stick with the size that prioritizes comfort. You’ll thank yourself later.

Getting the right size in shapewear isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling good. And when you feel good, you radiate confidence.

Let your shapewear support you the way it’s meant to. With Slexy’s size-inclusive designs, premium materials, and smart compression, you’re always one step closer to your best, most comfortable self.

Say goodbye to the struggle and hello to the smoothest version of you. #GetSlexy

 

Material Matters

When it comes to shapewear, the material isn’t just a detail—it’s everything. The right fabric can make the difference between something you wear once (and regret) versus something you reach for daily. At Slexy, we design shapewear that not only looks good but feels amazing on your skin. Let’s break down why materials matter and how to choose shapewear that works with your lifestyle—not against it.

 

1. Comfort Starts with Fabric

You could have the best design in the world, but if the fabric’s uncomfortable, you won’t last an hour in it. That’s why Slexy focuses on soft, breathable, and skin-friendly materials that mold to your body without suffocating it.

Our go-to comfort materials include:

• Nylon/Spandex blends – Stretchy, lightweight, and sculpting without stiffness.
  
• Cotton-lined gussets – For breathability in intimate areas.
  
• Modal fabrics – Buttery-soft and perfect for sensitive skin.
  
• Mesh panels – Increase airflow while still offering control.
  
  

 

2. Breathability and Temperature Control

Shapewear often sits close to the skin and under layers—so overheating is a real issue. That’s why breathability is key.

Look for:

• Micro-mesh or perforated designs to allow air to flow freely.
  
• Moisture-wicking technology that pulls sweat away from the body.
  
• Thin, stretchy layers that don’t trap heat.
  

Slexy Tip: For warmer climates or summer wear, opt for our summer-friendly shapewear range made with airy, cooling fabrics designed for long wear.

3. Stretch & Recovery: The Hidden Hero

Stretch is what allows shapewear to move with your body—but recovery is what makes it snap back and last longer.

High-quality shapewear should:

• Adapt to your movements without losing shape
  
• Maintain its structure after multiple wears
  
• Feel snug, but not suffocating
  
  

Slexy shapewear is engineered with 4-way stretch, giving you flexible control and better durability.

 

4. Compression Levels & Fabric Thickness

Compression is directly linked to fabric structure and thickness. Here's a quick guide:

• Light Compression: Thinner, stretchier fabrics. Great for everyday wear.
  
• Medium Compression: Balanced thickness—smooths without stiffness.
  
• Firm Compression: Thicker, structured materials—ideal for sculpting under tight outfits or formalwear.
  
  

Slexy Suggests: Choose your compression level based on both your outfit and your comfort needs. You can have both support and softness when the fabric is right.

 

5. Seamless vs. Structured Materials

Seamless shapewear is usually made with circular knitting technology and microfibers for a second-skin finish. It’s perfect under clingy or body-hugging outfits where visibility is a concern.

Structured shapewear, on the other hand, often includes reinforced panels, underwire, or boning to provide extra control. It’s ideal for:

• Postpartum support
  
• Formal or bridal wear
  
• Creating dramatic silhouettes
  

Slexy offers both—because you shouldn’t have to pick between comfort and contouring.

 

6. Skin Sensitivity & Fabric Choices

If you have sensitive skin, fabric choice becomes even more important. Avoid rough textures, stiff synthetic blends, or rubber-heavy garments that may cause irritation.

Slexy’s skin-friendly shapewear features:

• Tagless inner seams to prevent itching
  
• Soft-touch finishes that glide smoothly
  
• Hypoallergenic cotton gussets
  
  

Pro Tip: Always do a quick wear-test at home before stepping out to ensure your skin stays happy.

 

7. Durability & Washability

Shapewear is an investment—so it should last. That’s why Slexy uses high-resilience fibers that maintain shape even after multiple washes.

Care Tips for Lasting Results:

• Hand wash with mild detergent or use a delicate laundry bag.
  
• Avoid high heat drying—air dry flat instead.
  
• Don’t wring or twist the garment; reshape gently.
  
  

Slexy shapewear is built to handle real life—so go ahead, wear it again and again.

 

8. Sustainable & Eco-Conscious Fabrics (Coming Soon to Slexy)

• Recycled nylon fibers

• Comfort
  
• Stretch
  
• Compression
  
• Breathability
  
• Longevity
  

Because you deserve shapewear that supports you—literally and emotionally.
