How the Shapermint Size Chart Works
The Shapermint size chart is based on real body measurements rather than traditional clothing sizes. Because shapewear is designed to smooth and support, accurate measurements are essential for finding a fit that feels comfortable, not restrictive.
Your size is determined by your waist, hip, and bust measurements (for bras, bodysuits, and tops). If your measurements fall between two sizes, choosing the larger size is usually the best option for everyday comfort, especially if you’re new to shapewear.
How to Measure Yourself for Shapermint
Before checking the size chart, take a moment to measure yourself properly. Use a soft measuring tape and measure over lightweight clothing or directly on your body. Keep the tape snug but not tight, stand naturally, and avoid holding your breath. Measuring twice can help ensure accuracy.
How to Measure Your Bra Size
To find your bra size (essential for getting the right support), you need to take two key measurements: bust and underbust.
- Bust: Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust to get your bust measurement.
- Underbust: Measure around your ribcage, just under your bust, to determine your band size.
Cup Size: To calculate your cup size, subtract your band size from your bust measurement. Each inch of difference typically corresponds to one cup size (1" = A, 2" = B, 3" = C, and so on).
Need assistance? We’re here to help! With just your bust and underbust measurements, you can find your perfect size in seconds using our bra size calculator.

How to Measure Your Waist
Find the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your belly button. Wrap the measuring tape around your waist, keeping it level all the way around, and record the measurement. This number plays a key role in choosing shapewear bottoms, shorts, and leggings.
There are two ways to find your waist:
- Around the Navel: Wrap the tape around the fleshy part between your ribs and hips, making sure it sits right at your navel or slightly above.
- Side Lean Technique: Lean to the side with your hands on your hips. Your waist is that spot on your side that folds inwards
Watch the video tutorial below for a step-by-step guide on how to measure your waist correctly.
How to Measure Your Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. Make sure the tape stays level and relaxed. Hip measurements help ensure your shapewear fits smoothly and stays in place without rolling or pinching.

Shapermint Size Chart by Country
Shapermint sizing is consistent across regions, but size labels can vary by country. That’s why it’s important to reference the correct chart based on where you’re shopping from.
United States (US)
Shapermint U.S. sizes are based on waist, hip, and bust measurements in inches. Always rely on your measurements rather than your usual clothing size.
Canada (CA)
Canadian sizing follows the same measurement logic as U.S. sizing. Use your waist, hip, and bust measurements to find your correct Shapermint size.
United Kingdom (UK)
UK sizing uses different numeric labels, but the underlying measurements remain the same. Simply convert your measurements using the Shapermint size chart to find your equivalent fit.
Europe (EUR)
European sizing varies by country, which makes measurements especially important. The Shapermint size chart allows you to match your measurements to the correct EU size with confidence.
Shapermint Australia Size Guide (AU)
If you’re shopping from Australia, the Shapermint Australia size guide helps convert AU sizes accurately based on your measurements.
Rather than guessing your usual AU clothing size, use:
- Waist measurement
- Hip measurement
- Bust measurement (if applicable)
This ensures your shapewear delivers smoothing and support without feeling overly tight.
New Zealand (NZ)
New Zealand sizing follows similar conversions to AU sizing. Always rely on your measurements to choose the most comfortable Shapermint fit.
Singapore (SG)
Singapore sizing can vary depending on brand standards. Using your body measurements with the Shapermint size chart ensures a consistent, comfortable fit.
What If You’re Between Sizes?
This is one of the most common questions we see, and the answer depends on comfort preference.
Prefer a gentler, everyday feel? Choose the larger size.
Want more compression and are familiar with shapewear? You may choose the smaller size.
For first-time shapewear wearers, sizing up is usually the best choice.
