USMC Stage 2 Faja #601 – High Compression Post-Op & Body Sculpting

To ensure the perfect fit, use our sizing chart before purchasing.

Measuring Tips:
✔ Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waistline.
✔ Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.

💡 Fajas run small due to high compression—if in doubt, size up!

Your Faja is an essential investment in your post-surgery recovery, waist training, and everyday shaping. Proper care will help maintain its compression, elasticity, and durability, ensuring it stays effective for sculpting and support. Follow this guide to keep your faja in perfect condition.

🛁 How to Wash Your Faja Properly

✔ Hand Wash Only – Machine washing can damage the compression fabric and reduce effectiveness.
✔ Use Cold Water – Hot water weakens the fibers and affects the elasticity.
✔ Use a Mild Detergent – Avoid harsh soaps, bleach, or fabric softeners as they break down compression material.
✔ Rinse Thoroughly – Ensure all soap is removed to prevent skin irritation.

💡 Wash your faja every 2-3 wears to maintain cleanliness and compression strength.

🧼 How to Dry Your Faja

✔ Air Dry Only – Lay flat or hang in a shaded area to dry.
✔ Avoid Direct Sunlight – Sun exposure can weaken the fibers over time.
✔ Do Not Use a Dryer – Heat damages compression technology and can cause shrinkage.

💡 Having two fajas allows you to rotate them while one is drying.

📦 How to Store Your Faja

✔ Fold it neatly and store in a cool, dry place.
✔ Avoid folding it tightly or leaving it stretched out for long periods, as this can affect its shape.
✔ Ensure it’s fully dry before storing to prevent odors or bacteria buildup.

💡 Keeping your faja stored properly helps maintain its structure and compression.

🔄 When to Replace Your Faja

Over time, fajas naturally stretch and lose their compression. Replace your faja if:

✔ It feels loose, even on the tightest hooks
✔ Compression is weaker than before
✔ The fabric is thinning or overstretched
✔ It no longer shapes or supports properly

💡 Post-op patients may need to size down as swelling reduces, while waist trainers may need a smaller faja after consistent wear.

⚠️ Common Faja Care Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Machine washing or drying – Always hand wash & air dry to maintain elasticity.
🚫 Using bleach or fabric softeners – These break down compression fibers.
🚫 Skipping washes – A dirty faja can cause skin irritation and odor buildup.
🚫 Wearing a stretched-out faja – If your faja no longer compresses properly, it’s time for a new one!

💡 A well-cared-for faja means better shaping results. Follow these steps to keep yours in perfect condition!

Wearing your Faja correctly is essential for achieving the best body sculpting and post-op recovery results. Whether you're using it for post-surgical compression, waist training, or everyday shaping, following the proper steps ensures comfort, effectiveness, and long-term benefits.

🩵 Step 1: Choose the Right Size

Before putting on your faja, measure your waist and hips to ensure the perfect fit.

✔ Snug but Not Painful: The faja should provide firm compression without restricting breathing or causing extreme discomfort.
✔ Follow the Size Chart: If between sizes, size up for comfort or size down for stronger compression.
✔ Post-Surgical Patients: Swelling is normal, so a Stage 1 Faja should accommodate initial bloating, while a Stage 2 Faja offers tighter compression as swelling decreases.

💡 Tip: If your faja feels too tight at first, allow time for your body to adjust before wearing it for extended hours.

🛠 Step 2: Preparing to Wear Your Faja

1️⃣ Start with Clean, Dry Skin: Avoid applying lotions or oils before wearing your faja, as they can cause slipping or irritation.
2️⃣ Use Assistance if Needed: For post-surgical wear, you may need help securing your faja until swelling reduces.
3️⃣ Expect a Snug Fit: High-compression garments take time to adjust to. If it feels slightly tight at first, this is normal.

🔄 Step 3: How to Put On Your Faja Properly

✔ Step Into It: Always step into your faja instead of pulling it over your head. This ensures an even fit and prevents unnecessary stretching.
✔ Fasten from the Bottom Up: Begin securing the hooks from the lowest row and work your way up to ensure even compression.
✔ Position Compression Accessories Correctly: If wearing compression foams, ab boards, or back boards, make sure they are placed correctly to avoid indentations.
✔ Adjust the Straps & Closures: If your faja has adjustable shoulder straps or a zipper, make sure everything is properly secured for all-day comfort.

💡 Post-op patients should wear compression foams or boards inside the faja for smoother results.

⏳ Step 4: How Long Should You Wear Your Faja?

The recommended duration depends on your goal and recovery stage:

✔ Post-Surgery (Stage 1 Faja): Wear 24/7 (except for showering) during the first 4-6 weeks for optimal healing.
✔ Post-Surgery (Stage 2 Faja): Wear 12+ hours per day for the next 6-12 weeks to refine and sculpt results.
✔ Waist Training & Everyday Use: Start with 6-8 hours daily, gradually increasing wear time.

💡 The more consistently you wear your faja, the better your final results will be!

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Wearing the wrong size – A faja that’s too tight can cause discomfort, while one that’s too loose won’t provide proper compression.
🚫 Skipping compression foams or boards – Essential for even healing after surgery.
🚫 Not fastening hooks properly – Always start from the bottom up for a secure fit.
🚫 Inconsistent wear – For best results, follow the recommended wear schedule.

💡 A perfectly fitted faja is the secret to a sculpted, smooth, and snatched body—make sure you’re wearing it right!
