How do I put on my Esencia Colombian shapewear?

When opening your new Esencia Shape-wear/Faja be sure to stretch your Shape-wear/Faja, while sitting place both legs through the openings and gently work the garment up your body, making sure the groin and genital area is aligned. It’s important to ensure the buttocks seam line sits in the crease of the buttocks, be extra careful and mindful of your fingernails while putting on your compression garment to avoid damaging the fabric. Once the garment is around your hips, adjust the position of the inseam so it runs just above your hip line. Next, while fastening the hooks, start from the bottom of the shapewear/faja and work your way to the top. When pulling to close the hooks, be sure to use your fingertips, not your nails. Once the hooks are completely closed, you’re ready to zip the zipper. Some girdles may not have zippers dependent on the options chosen by the customer.

* If you purchased a customized Shape-wear/Faja you may need to do a little extra stretching, customized Shape-wear usually come smaller on the waist therefor making it a little tougher to get up the hips.

What’s the difference between Stage 1 & 2 shapewear?

First stage garments are made using a softer material and they are usually worn for the first 1-21 days following your procedure. Our second stage garments are made using the highly innovative powernet fabric providing high compression to the required surgical site. The stage 2 faja is worn immediately after the stage one for a period between 6-12 months.
