How to Care for Your Shapewear: Tips for Long-Lasting Use

From Curvida: The Curvy Life

Shapewear is more than a fashion choice — it’s a lifestyle. At Curvida: The Curvy Life, we know the confidence that comes from a perfectly fitted faja. Whether you wear it daily or on special occasions, proper shapewear care is the key to making your pieces last and keeping that snatched silhouette you love.

1. Hand Wash Your Faja with Care

The best way to care for your shapewear — especially our best selling Curva Pink custom faja — is by hand washing it. Use lukewarm water and a gentle, bleach-free detergent. Let it soak for 5–10 minutes, rinse gently, and press (not wring!) out the water.

💡 Quick Tip: If you’re short on time, place your faja in a lingerie bag and wash on a cold, delicate cycle.

2. Shapewear Care 101: Always Air Dry

Dryers and heat can destroy compression fibers. To preserve the power of your faja, always lay it flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and stretching.

3. Give Your Shapewear a Break

We know it’s hard not to wear your Curva Pink custom faja every day (because it’s that good), but rotating between shapewear pieces gives each one a chance to breathe and bounce back — literally.

4. Smart Shapewear Storage Tips

To maintain the structure and compression of your shapewear, don’t just toss it into a drawer. Fold it neatly or hang it to avoid overstretching or fabric damage.

Bonus Shapewear Care Tip: Avoid Lotions and Oils

Skincare products can weaken your shapewear fabric. Be sure everything is fully absorbed before putting on your faja. This will help maintain the fabric’s strength and stretch.

5. Know When to Replace Your Shapewear

Even the best shapewear has a life span. If your piece starts slipping, rolling, or loses its tight feel, it may be time to refresh your wardrobe with Curvida: The Curvy Life’s newest styles — like our Curva Pink custom faja.

Caring for your shapewear is more than maintenance — it’s self-love. At Curvida: The Curvy Life, we design our pieces to last, but with the right shapewear care, you can make sure they serve you well beyond the first wear.
