Learn how to fit and wear the Guitara Faja with Bra 6196 for Stage 2 recovery. Step-by-step guidance on sizing, closure, and daily wear for curvy frames.
Quick answer
To wear the Guitara Faja with Bra 6196 correctly, start by confirming your measurements against the size chart, then step into the garment, fasten the bottom zipper first, and close the two rows of hooks from the waist up. Adjust the straps and check for smooth compression without pinching.
Why the 6196 suits hourglass and curvy frames
The Guitara Faja with Bra 6196 is cut for hourglass body frames, with extra room through the hips and butt while the waist is compressed. That means you get shaping where you want it without flattening your curves. If your hips are significantly wider than your waist, this curvy fit reduces the chance of the faja rolling down or digging into the hip bone.
Because the bra is attached, the garment provides full-back coverage and support in one piece. This can simplify dressing after surgery, but it also means the torso length must match your own—check the size chart carefully if you are long-waisted.
When to choose a different faja
This is a Stage 2 faja, so it is designed for post-surgery recovery after the initial swelling has subsided, typically after your surgeon clears you for less intensive compression. If you are still in the early post-op phase, a Stage 1 garment is usually more appropriate.
Also note that this item is discontinued and final sale, so returns are not available. Confirm your size before ordering and consult your surgeon if you are between sizes or unsure about the compression level for your stage.
How to put on and wear the Guitara Faja 6196
- Measure and select your size: Take fresh measurements of your waist, hips, and torso length, then compare them to the size chart. If you fall between sizes, size up—the two rows of hooks allow you to tighten as needed. Common mistake: guessing your size based on clothing size, which can lead to a faja that is too tight or too loose. Always measure before ordering, especially since this item is final sale.
- Prepare the garment: Open the bottom zipper and unhook both rows of hooks. Lay the faja flat with the bra facing up. Check that the adjustable straps are loosened so you can pull the garment over your shoulders easily. Common mistake: leaving the hooks closed, which makes it nearly impossible to step into the faja. Loosening the straps first prevents strain on the shoulder seams.
- Step in and pull up: Step into the faja as you would into pants, pulling it up over your hips and butt. The extra hip room in the curvy fit should let it glide on without excessive force. Common mistake: pulling from the waistband only, which can stretch the powernet unevenly. Use both hands to guide the fabric over your hips, not just the waist.
- Fasten the bottom zipper: Once the faja is positioned over your hips, close the bottom zipper. This secures the lower portion and prevents the garment from riding up. Common mistake: zipping before the faja is fully seated, which can cause pinching at the crotch. Zip only after the faja is in its final position.
- Close the hooks from waist up: Starting at the waist, fasten the first row of hooks, then the second row if you need more compression. Work your way up to the bra. Common mistake: starting at the top, which can create wrinkles and uneven tension. Fasten the loosest row first, then adjust to the tighter row as needed.
- Adjust the bra and straps: Smooth the bra cups over your chest and tighten the adjustable straps until they feel secure but not tight. The attached bra should lie flat without digging into your shoulders. Common mistake: over-tightening the straps, which can cause shoulder pain and restrict breathing. You should be able to slide one finger under each strap.
- Check for comfort and mobility: Move around, sit, and stand to test the fit. The faja should feel firm but not painful. Check that the waistband does not roll down and that the bottom zipper stays closed. Common mistake: ignoring early signs of pinching or numbness, which can lead to skin irritation. If you feel numbness or tingling, remove the faja and consult your surgeon.
