Size & fit

Measure once, order once

Measure your natural waist at its narrowest point, standing relaxed. Between two sizes? Take the larger one — a trainer that is too small rolls.

Before you order

Questions, answered

How long does delivery take?

Three to seven business days anywhere in South Africa. Orders are dispatched from our local supplier, so nothing is coming from overseas and there are no customs delays. Delivery is free on orders over R1 000. You will get a tracking link as soon as the parcel is collected.

What size should I order?

Measure your natural waist at its narrowest point while standing relaxed, then use the chart above. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one. Shapewear that is a size too small does not shape more — it rolls, digs and shows through clothing.

Still unsure? Send us your measurements and we will tell you which size to take.

Can I return or exchange something?

Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to swap for a different size, as long as the item is unworn, unwashed and still has its hygiene liner and tags in place. You cover the cost of sending it back; we cover sending the replacement out.

How long can I wear a waist trainer for?

Start with two to three hours a day and build up as it becomes comfortable. It should feel firm and supportive, never painful, and you should be able to breathe deeply and sit down normally. If you feel pinching, numbness or shortness of breath, take it off and size up.

A waist trainer shapes your silhouette while you are wearing it. We do not claim it changes your body permanently.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash cold with a mild detergent, press the water out rather than wringing, and dry flat away from direct sun. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener — both break down the elastane and you will lose the compression within a few washes.

Is the packaging discreet?

Always. Orders ship in plain outer packaging with no branding or product description on the label — safe for a shared office or a reception desk.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Card and instant EFT at checkout. All prices are in South African rand and charged in rand, so there are no conversion fees.

Who we are

Shapshape

We started Shapshape because shapewear in South Africa came in two flavours: expensive imports with a six-week wait, or cheap sets that lost their hold after three washes. There was not much in the middle for a woman who just wants a good trainer, a set that lasts, and a size that actually exists.

So we built the middle. Locally supplied, sized S to 6XL, priced so you can own more than one. We talk about fit, fabric and how a piece feels at 4pm — not about fixing anything.

Your shape, refined every day.
