Not sure? Always size up for comfort, size down for maximum compression. Our fajas are designed to compress — if you're between sizes, go one up.

How to Take Your Measurements
How to measure your waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, generally around the belly button. Keep one finger of space between the tape and your body.
All conversions are approximate. Fit may vary by style.
The NS173 is a Colombian waist trainer semi-vest that does what a standard waist cincher cannot, it covers the full torso from just below the bust all the way around the back, smoothing the upper and lower back for a clean, seamless silhouette under any outfit.
Six steel bones, two at the front, two at the back, and one on each side, keep the semi-vest completely rigid so it never folds, rolls, or loses its shape through a full day of wear. Ultra-Sculpt Powernet compression defines the waist and encourages upright posture. Three rows of hooks give you precise fit adjustment. Thin straps at the front and a thicker back panel keep it sitting flat and supported on your shoulders. Latex free. Made in Colombia.
Key details:
- Compression level: Ultra-Sculpt, firmest hold
- Closure: 3 rows of hooks
- Straps: Thin front straps, thicker back panel
- Boning: 6 steel bones, 2 front, 2 back, 1 each side
- Coverage: Full torso, waist, upper and lower back
- Fabric: Powernet, latex free
- Colors: Mocha, Black, Cocoa
- Made in Colombia, ships from New Jersey
Colombian Powernet and Lycra hold their shape wash after wash
when you treat them right. A little care goes a long way.

Covers the upper and lower back completely so back bulges and bra lines disappear under fitted tops, dresses, and anything with a fitted back.
Two bones at the front, two at the back, and one on each side keep the vest completely rigid and in shape all day with no folding, rolling, or shifting.
The firmest compression level in the collection. Firm Powernet hold that defines the waist and keeps everything smooth and in place all day.
Three hook settings give you precise fit control when you put it on and the ability to tighten as your body settles in throughout the day.
Six steel bones keep your torso upright through long days at a desk or on your feet. You stand taller without thinking about it.
All the firmness of a structured waist trainer without latex. Breathable, comfortable, and safe for women with latex sensitivity.
Yes. The NS173 is a full vest that covers the entire torso including the upper and lower back. It smooths bra lines, back bulges, and any fabric rolling that shows through fitted tops and dresses. This is the key difference between the NS173 and a standard waist cincher which only covers the waist.
Both are Ultra-Sculpt Powernet waist trainers with three hook rows and steel bones. The NS006 is a waist cincher that covers the waist only with removable straps. The NS173 is a full vest that extends up the torso and covers the full back, smoothing bra lines and back bulges. Choose the NS006 for waist-only focus and versatility under different necklines. Choose the NS173 for full torso coverage and back smoothing.
Yes. The NS173 is made entirely of Powernet, a latex-free fabric. It delivers firm Ultra-Sculpt compression without latex, making it a comfortable alternative for women with latex sensitivity or anyone who prefers a non-latex waist trainer.
Use your waist and bust measurements together since the NS173 covers the full torso. If you are between sizes, size up. Ultra-Sculpt compression is firm and a size too small will feel restrictive across the back and shoulders as well as the waist. Our waist trainer size guide walks you through exactly how to measure.
Yes. Six steel bones spread across the front, back, and sides keep your torso upright and discourage slouching while you wear it. The full back coverage adds additional structure that a waist-only cincher cannot provide. Many customers wear the NS173 specifically for the posture support it provides during long desk days or time on their feet.

the best waist trainer i have ever tried
True to size. Made with high quality materials. I like it very much.
Great product
I had a number of questions about sizing prior to ordering and so I sent a brief email to the support team before I ordered. They were so helpful and even allayed any fears over ordering the wrong size by offering to exchange anything that didn’t fit perfectly. Just a great experience overall.
Love
Perfect fit! This waist trainer was amazing for core support getting back into running post partum.
Bought these fajas for my postpartum recovery! They work amazing!

You wilk always have women like us keeping an eye on YOU, THANKS 😘😌
Good product
While I probably should have gone with a medium-this is phenomenal!! I didn’t want to wait for the return/reship. I’m so impatient! Lol I have this and the one piece with the zipper. The fact that I don't have to worry about unzipping to use the restroom is wonderful. Love the way this makes me look and feel!
Es muy comoda y no se nota
Loved how seamless this faja is! Bought the wrong size && Def need to size down for more compression. I’m excited for my new one to arrive
LADIES!! This is amazing look at that cinch! Comfy I wear it all day almost everyday, if I am not wearing this one I am wearing the latex one at the gym! I have jeans from here to. EVERY product is above amazing!!!
I was not sure which size was better for me. I have sizes 1x to 3x. I wear them depending on my mood and the level of compression that I feel like. They are nice and do not slip up or down. It stays put the way you want it.
You could wear it all day and it’s so comfy and makes you look great
I love this faja. It’s so comfortable.
Realmente la faja es excelente, lo único es que no me ajusto como debería debido al tamaño que ordene, pero de allí en más, todo es bueno!
favorite faja ever i love it
I purchased the wrong size in first. Returning process was very simple and fast! The second corset fits me perfectly!
Good quality
Is best if you order a size down if you want it to be tighter
I used the size chart measurements. I went one size lower from the size chart. Perfect fit. If you prefer a tighter fit.
Nice quality just wish I got a smaller size as I’m already on the smallest clasps
Help your body shape up and push up my breast
I never was one for being confined, but this makes me feel so comfortable and feel so good about my body! This is my third best from them bc I keep sizing down. Definitely getting an xs as soon as I size out of this one.
My faja fits perfectly! I’m usually an XL but I got a 2XL (from previous experience size up!) and it fits great. I can’t wait to wear it under a dress!
I enjoy the faja so much it’s so useful & it’s the perfect size for my body
Love it
Good
Fit a little loose but great product.Thank you.
I love it
Go by the measurements on the chart otherwise the fans will not fit you
