Finding your fit starts with a few simple measurements. Use this guide to measure your waist, hips and bust, then compare your measurements with the size guide for your chosen BodyFlexx piece.
Measure your body as it is—without pulling the tape tight or wearing compression garments.
Before You Begin
You’ll need a soft measuring tape and a mirror to check its position.
-
Wear lightweight underwear rather than bulky clothing or shapewear.
-
Stand naturally with your body relaxed.
-
Keep the tape level all the way around your body.
-
Let the tape rest against your skin without digging in.
-
Record your measurements in inches or centimeters, matching the units on your size chart.
Take each measurement twice to check your results.

1. How to Measure Your Waist
Wrap the tape around your natural waist, usually the narrowest part of your torso between your lower ribs and hips.
If you’re unsure where to measure, gently bend to one side. The crease that forms can help you locate your natural waist.
Stand upright again, relax your stomach and breathe normally before reading the tape.
Tip: Your natural waist may sit above your belly button. It isn’t necessarily where your leggings waistband rests.
2. How to Measure Your Hips
Stand with your feet together and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.
Use a mirror to check that the tape stays level across your back and doesn’t slide upward.
Tip: Measure around the fullest part of your bottom, rather than just around your hip bones.
3. How to Measure Your Bust
Wear a comfortable, unpadded bra that doesn’t compress your bust.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, passing it across your back. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides when taking the reading.
The tape should sit level and comfortably against your body.
Tip: Your bust measurement is different from your bra band size. Use the full bust measurement when the chart asks for “Bust.”
Using Your Measurements to Choose a Size
Open the Size Guide on the product page and compare your measurements with the chart provided for that piece.
Check every relevant measurement, along with any fit notes. Different styles can have different sizing, so avoid choosing solely by your usual clothing size.
-
Leggings, shorts and briefs: Compare your waist and hip measurements.
-
Bodysuits and shaping clothing: Compare your bust, waist and hips where shown.
-
Sports bras and tops: Check the measurements requested in the product’s size guide.
If the chart includes an inseam or another measurement, check that too.

What If I’m Between Sizes?
Follow the fit notes for your chosen product first.
If your measurements fall into different size ranges, look for a size that accommodates all the relevant measurements. If you’re unsure, contact us before ordering.
Don’t automatically size down for extra compression. Your piece should fit securely while allowing you to breathe and move comfortably.
Don’t Have a Measuring Tape?
Use a piece of non-stretch string or ribbon. Wrap it around the measurement area, mark where the ends meet, then lay it flat against a ruler.
Keep it level and avoid pulling it tight, just as you would with a measuring tape.
