Sizing for men's shapewear

To determine the size of corrective underwear, take some measurements and compare them with the size chart of the brand you are considering. Here are the steps:

• Measure your waist circumference: use a tape measure to measure the narrowest part of your waist, usually about 2.5 cm above your navel.
• Measure your chest size: best to measure it at the level of your nipples.
• Look at the size chart: look up the size chart of the brand you want to buy and compare your measurements with the indicated sizes. Often your normal dress size is the right size for corrective underwear men. If you buy men's corrective underwear too small then it will be too tight and you will see too much markings. If you buy it too large then it will do little for your body. But if you are between sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort. If in doubt, buy two sizes and try them on at home before deciding which size to keep.

• Use a mild detergent: Use a mild detergent specially designed for delicate fabrics to wash the underwear. Do not use fabric softener as this is not good for men's shapewear.
• Do not bleach: Do not use bleach when washing corrective underwear as it may damage the fabric.
• Dry men's corrective underwear on a flat surface: Do not hang strong corrective underwear to dry, as gravity can stretch the underwear and reduce the corrective effect. Instead, you can lay the underwear flat on a towel to dry.
