• Use the full size chart as your main guide.
• If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.
• If your waist and hips fall into different sizes, use your hip measurement.
• Clothing sizes vary by brand, so body measurements provide the best guide.

• Waist: Measure around your puku where you naturally carry your shape. Keep the tape level and firm, not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and lower tinana with your feet together.

Measure directly against your body or over light clothing. Do not pull the measuring tape tightly.

1. Step into your garment rather than pulling it over your head.
2. Work it gradually up your thighs in small sections.
3. Ease it over your hips and puku without pulling from the top edge.
4. Adjust the fabric until it sits smoothly and comfortably.

Your shapewear should feel firm and supportive, never painful or restrictive.

For the best fit, use your body measurements in centimetres. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.

If your waist and hips fall into different sizes, choose the size that matches your hips for the most comfortable fit.

• Choose the larger size for greater comfort and an easier pull-on fit.
• If you carry more through your puku or hips, size up.
• If your waist and hip measurements differ, follow your hip measurement.

Every tinana carries shape differently. This guide is here to support your choice, not restrict it.

The right size should feel firm, smooth and supportive while still allowing you to breathe, sit and move comfortably.
