It’s super tight at first. Very comfortable to wear once it’s “broken in”. My only complaint is the straps. It does come with a little detachable padding, but even with that they seem to dig a little.
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.
How to measure your hips
With your feet approximately 6" apart, measure around the fullest part of your hips. This area usually corresponds to the top of your legs.
All conversions are approximate. Fit may vary by style.
The NS046 is a Sculpt-level Colombian faja built around one practical detail, a side zipper with internal hooks that makes putting it on and taking it off significantly easier than a traditional front hook closure. No contorting, no fumbling with hooks while the compression is fighting back. Step in, zip up, go.
Powernet and Lycra construction delivers the same firm waist-to-mid-thigh compression as a hook-front faja, with adjustable straps to customize the fit to your torso length. The high-back design supports your posture through long days at a desk or on your feet. Open-bust design works with any bra.
Key details:
- Compression level: Sculpt - firm, structured hold
- Closure: Side zipper with internal hooks
- Straps: Adjustable
- Crotch: Zipper opening
- Coverage: Waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, back
- Lift: Level 1 Natural
- Silicone grip bands: Leg openings
- Fabric: Powernet and Lycra
- Colors: Mocha, Black
- 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.

Step in and zip up in seconds, no hooking under compression, no fumbling with rows of hooks while the faja fights back.

Firm Powernet and Lycra hold from waist to mid-thigh that doesn't loosen by midday, structured compression that stays where you put it.

Customize the fit to your exact torso length so the faja sits correctly whether you're shorter or taller in the torso.

Full back coverage encourages upright posture through long desk days and time on your feet without feeling stiff or restrictive.
Keeps the faja locked at both leg openings all day so there are no roll-down lines or visible edges under tight clothes.

Full restroom convenience without removing the garment. Secure metal zipper holds under compression all day.
The NS046 is built for women who want Sculpt-level compression without the morning ritual of hooking a front closure under tension. The side zipper changes the experience -- you step in, position the faja, and zip. The internal hooks secure the zipper in place so it stays closed under compression all day.
Everything else is the same as a traditional hook-front faja. The Powernet and Lycra compression holds firmly from waist to mid-thigh. The adjustable straps mean the fit works for your torso, not a standard length. The high-back construction covers and supports through whatever your day brings.
A few things that make all-day wear easier with the NS046:
Step 1 — Before stepping in, fold the silicone grip bands outward at both leg openings. This prevents them from sticking to your skin as you pull the faja up.
Step 2 — Step into the faja and work it up your legs using a side-to-side rocking motion, shifting your weight from one hip to the other. This is the easiest way to move it up without rolling the fabric.
Step 3 — Once at your waist, align the side seams so they sit straight down each leg and smooth the fabric from the waist down.
Step 4 — Fasten the side zipper from the bottom up. Once zipped, secure the internal hooks to lock the zipper in place under compression.
Step 5 — Adjust the shoulder straps to your torso length so the faja sits flat with no pulling at the bust line.
Step 6 — Smooth the fabric at the thigh hem to eliminate any bunching before getting dressed.
Step 7 — Use the zipper crotch for restroom breaks, no need to remove the garment.
The NS046 has a side zipper with internal hooks that lock the zipper in place under compression. You step into the faja, pull it up, then zip from the bottom up along the side seam. The internal hooks secure the closure so it stays fully closed through a full day of wear. It is significantly faster and easier to put on than a traditional front hook closure.
Use your waist and hip measurements together. If you are between sizes, size up -- Sculpt-level compression is firm and a size too small will feel restrictive rather than supportive. Our full faja size guide walks you through exactly how to measure.
Most customers wear the NS046 comfortably for 8 to 12 hours. If you are new to compression garments, start with 4 to 6 hours and increase gradually over the first week as your body adjusts to Sculpt-level compression.
The side zipper sits along the side seam and lies flat under most clothing. Fitted fabrics and very thin materials may show a slight seam line at the side -- the same as any side-seam garment. For maximum invisibility under very tight outfits, a strapless pull-on faja with no closures may be a better choice.
No. The NS046 is a daily wear faja, not a post-surgical garment. Post-surgical recovery requires medical-grade compression, boning for structure, and staged compression levels. Our post-surgical faja collection has garments built specifically for each stage of recovery.

I love the shapewear, I just wish it could fit. I needed a 5XL
Kendra M. 5/5 Verified
I absolutely love this faja!! I ordered a medium for added compression after my tummy tuck and back lipo. I could have ordered a large and it probably would have a little more comfortable in the lady parts area. I wear this daily. I am 5’7 and 157 lbs. I have a longer torso. Going to the bathroom is a bit of a challenge, but it gets easier the more you practice. I add lipo foam in front and back for more comfort. One thing to keep in mind with the shorts on this, is that if you wear shorts, the lace part shows under. I pull them up a little so it’s hidden under the shorts. I’ll probably buy another faja without the shorts in the near future.

I really like this Faja but it is not good with post surgical. Compression is just not enough. However, I love its fit and when no longer swollen it will be great. It is very stylish and comfortable
Carla M. 5/5 Verified
I am very happy with the way it looks. I wear size 7/8 in jeans and ordered a large. I need to order Medium I think it will fit better. But I love it over all.
Carmen K. 5/5 Verified
I tried another faja the CB450 and it was too structured for my liking, this one is soo much comfortable for an everyday use and i like that the zipper is on the side rather than the middle, so its more hidden.
