Ahua Size Guide

Āhua Size Guide

Finding the right fit is about comfort, ease, and listening to your tinana.

Designed to support all bodies — across shapes, sizes, and stages of life.

⚠️ Important Fit Note

Shapewear fits differently to everyday clothing.
If you carry weight through your puku or lower tinana, we recommend sizing up for comfort — especially in high-waisted styles.

🔎 Quick Size Finder

Every tinana carries shape differently — this guide is here to support, not restrict.

Use your body waist measurement (cm) for best fit:

  • 68–84 cm waist → S/M
  • 84–98 cm waist → L/XL
  • 98–116 cm waist → 2XL/3XL
  • 116–138 cm waist → 4XL/5XL

Fit guidance:

  • Soft or lower puku → size up for easier pull-on
  • Firm build → true size may feel more compressive

Clothing sizes vary by brand — body measurements give the most accurate fit.

📏 How to Measure

Take your measurements gently. There’s no need to pull tight — your tinana will tell you what feels right.

Comfort comes first.

  • Bust – around the fullest part
  • Waist – your natural waist crease line
  • Hips – around the widest hip/butt area

Tip: Keep tape firm (not tight). No sucking in. Ask someone to help if you can.

🧡 First Time Wearing Shapewear?

If this is your first time, go gently. Your tinana may need time to adjust — and that’s okay.

  1. Skin must be dry
  2. Step in slowly (small scoops up thighs)
  3. Ease over hips & puku
  4. Adjust & settle — let it warm to your body

Fit test: Too hard to pull up = too small. No resistance at all = too big.

📏 Size Chart

For the best fit, use your body measurements (cm). If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up (especially for a softer puku or fuller hips).

Women’s Waist (cm) Hips (cm)
S/M 90–105 90–105
L/XL 105–120 105–120
2XL/3XL 120–135 120–135
4XL/5XL 135–150 135–150

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

❓ Between Sizes?

If you’re between sizes, choose comfort. Trust your tinana and how you like to feel supported.

  • Want comfort + easier pull-on → size up
  • Want firmer compression → choose your true size
  • If waist fits one size but hips/thighs fit another → choose the bigger size
  • If you’re still unsure, message us with your waist + hip measurements — we’re happy to help you choose.
❤️ Final Reminder

Shapewear should feel supportive — not painful.

  • If it rolls down → try sizing up or a higher-waisted style
  • If it pinches → you likely need more room
  • If it feels too easy → you may want more compression

If you ever want help choosing, message us with your measurements — we’ve got you.
