Compression Guide

COMPRESSION GUIDE

Not all shapewear is the same. Use this guide to find the right compression level for your needs.

💗 Light Compression

EVERYDAY COMFORT

Light compression is perfect for daily wear. It smooths and streamlines without restricting movement — ideal under office wear, dresses, or casual outfits. You'll barely notice it's there.

Best for: All-day wear, warm Australian weather, first-time shapewear wearers, or anyone who wants a smooth base without heavy shaping.

  • Contour High-Waist Shorts
  • Fitted Active Top

✨ Medium Compression

TARGETED SHAPING

Medium compression delivers visible shaping with all-day wearability. It smooths the tummy, hips and thighs while still feeling comfortable enough for extended wear — events, weddings, work functions, or nights out.

Best for: Special occasions, fitted dresses, or anyone wanting a noticeably smoother silhouette without sacrificing comfort.

NueShape picks

  • Sculpt Mid-Thigh Bodysuit
  • Contour High-Waist Leggings
  • Smoothing High-Waist Base Shorts
  • Cinch Waist Trainer Shorts

🔥 Firm Compression

MAXIMUM SCULPT

Firm compression provides maximum shaping and support. It cinches the waist, flattens the tummy and lifts the silhouette for a dramatic transformation. Best worn for a few hours at a time.

Best for: Big events, wedding days, formal occasions, or post-partum support. Not recommended for all-day everyday wear.

NueShape picks

  • Cinch Double-Belt Waist Trainer
  • Laced Open-Bust Bodysuit
