How to Fit – Specialty Waist Cinchers
Welcome! You’re about to learn how to find the specialty waist cincher that’s the right size for you. To do so, you’ll be using your waist and hip measurements. If you’re ready, let’s begin. This presentation will only last a few minutes. There are a few reasons why a specialty waist cincher can be a great intimates choice. First, it’s ideal for anyone who wants to define her waist. That’s because it’s designed with multiple layers of fabric and flexible, yet sturdy, stays that reduce the waist and provide an enhanced hourglass shape to the wearer’s figure. Second, it’s available in two silhouettes, each incorporating the traditional height and torso coverage of a waist cincher. However, these hybrid garments also have the added benefits of hi-waist briefs, hi-waist thigh slimmers, and hi-waist thongs. For example, each has a built-in panty, which prevents additional lines at the legs and waist. Also, the continuous, all-in-one, garment design leads to the smoothest curves possible. And thong silhouettes don’t flatten the derriere. Finally, specialty waist cinchers are ideal for addressing several common problems including: back fat, muffin top, and tummy pooch. In addition, thigh-slimming silhouettes control saddle bags and large thighs. Before we talk about sizing, here’s a really helpful tip. You’ll find that this type of garment is easiest to put on when following a few simple steps. First, fasten its hook-and-eye closure. Next, place the shaper on the floor or a bed. Then, fold its cincher portion over its body to allow you to grab both parts at the same time. This will help you obtain a more secure grip. Finally, step into the garment as you would a skirt, and pull it up by its sides. Now it’s time to figure out which specialty cincher size is right for you. To do this, you’ll need to measure the lengths around your waist and hips. You’ll need a flexible tape measure and a mirror. You may also find it helpful to have a buddy assist you. Now, we’re ready to get down to business. It’s best to take off your pants when measuring, as the fabric gets in the way of accuracy. Place the tape measure around the smallest part of your waist, following your body’s natural indentation. If you’re not sure where your smallest part is located, bend to the side to find it. Make sure that the tape lies flatly, and parallel to the ground, all the way around your body. Pull it snugly to get an accurate measurement. Round the result, up or down, to the nearest whole inch. For example, if your measurement is 29 3/8”, round down to 29”. Or, if your measurement is 29 ½”, round up to 30”. Next, we’ll measure your hips. Stand with your legs together and place the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips. This should be approximately 7” below your waist. Make sure that it lies flatly, and parallel to the ground, all the way around your body. Again, round the result, up or down, to the nearest whole inch. For example, if your measurement is 39 3/8”, round down to 39”. Or, if your measurement is 39 ½”, round up to 40”. We’re almost done. The two measurements taken together determine the size of the garment. Find your waist and hip measurements on the chart and you’ll discover the corresponding specialty waist cincher size that’s right for you. For example, if your waist measures 33”, and your hip measures 42”, an average-size, extra-large, specialty waist cincher will fit you well. If your waist and hip measurements don’t correspond to one garment size, match only your hip measurement to the corresponding garment size. The fabric in shapewear is very accommodating. That's it - now you’ll feel confident when looking for the specialty waist cincher that's right for you.
