Clariva Shaping Brief

Go by your waist measurement, not the size you usually wear. After a pregnancy, and over the years, the two often don't match anymore: that's exactly what this brief is designed for.

Measure the narrowest part of your torso, about an inch above your belly button, keeping the tape level. If your tummy sticks out, measure above the fullest part, not over your tummy. Then compare with the chart.

In between two sizes? Go for the larger one. Sizes range from S to 6XL, and the size calculator on this page finds yours in ten seconds.

No, for two reasons. The 360° cross-band wraps all the way around, front, hips and back: the support is spread evenly instead of pressing on one spot.

Plus, the waistband has a built-in silicone grip and an anti-roll rib that keep it exactly where you put it. It stays put all day, even when you're sitting. It doesn't roll, it doesn't ride up, no fixing it in the bathroom.

No. The fabric is thin and seamless, so there's no bulk showing through your clothes, and the leg edges are finished so they don't leave marks, with no elastic digging in.

It disappears under fitted dresses, jeans, leggings and work clothes. A smooth line, always.

83% polyamide (nylon) and 17% elastane, with breathable mesh zones and a cotton-lined gusset. This blend is what makes it different from stiff, plasticky shapewear.

The nylon makes it thin, soft and breathable: it stays invisible and doesn't trap heat all day. The elastane gives the real support: it holds you, moves with you when you sit or bend, and bounces back instead of stretching out after a few washes.

No latex, no rigid boning, no scratchy plastic edges.

Whichever you prefer. Most women wear it on its own, like regular underwear: it's made for that, with a soft, breathable cotton-lined gusset that stays hygienic all day.

If you'd rather wear thin underwear underneath, that's fine too: the support stays the same. There's no wrong choice, just the one you feel most comfortable in.

You don't have to, but daily wear is what makes the difference. Many women wear it a few hours a day, or all day, because steady support does much more than support once in a while.

Skipping a day is no big deal. But if you really want to give it a try, put it on every morning when you get dressed. It's so soft you'll forget it's there.

You can, but you don't need to. It's designed for daytime: most women wear it during the day and let their body rest at night.

Some women keep it on for a nap or an evening on the couch, and that's totally fine. Just one rule: it should always support, never squeeze. If it feels too tight to relax, take it off.

Usually about 2 weeks after a vaginal birth and 6 weeks after a C-section, once you've been cleared. It's soft and seamless, with no rigid boning. If you're recovering from surgery, ask your doctor first.

Yes, and here's what almost nobody explains: the gap pregnancy leaves between your abs doesn't close on its own over time. If years later your lower tummy still pushes forward, it's because those muscles stayed separated. And that's exactly what the 360° cross-band is made to hold and support, all the way around.

That's why it works whether you gave birth last year or decades ago. Our customers wear it from the first months after childbirth up to 30 years later, and during menopause too. It was never a question of time: time alone wasn't going to fix it. That's why it's never too late to start.

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle inside a laundry bag, or hand wash. Then let it air dry. No dryer, no fabric softener: that way the elastane stays firm and the support stays like day one.

Under your clothes, your tummy looks flat and smooth the moment you put it on. With daily wear, most women feel a firmer waistline in 2-3 weeks. And you have 30 days to try it risk-free: if it's not for you, write to contact@byclariva.com and we'll exchange your size or refund you.
