Size Guide
AKIMS Size Guide
Finding your perfect fit is everything. Use this guide to choose the right size for sculpting, support, and all-day comfort.
How to Measure
Use a soft measuring tape and measure directly on your skin (not over clothing):
- Bust — measure around the fullest part of your chest
- Waist — measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually 2–3 cm above your navel
- Hips — measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat
- Thigh — measure around the fullest part of one thigh

Colombian Faja Sizing
Fajas are compression garments — they should feel firm but not painful. If you're between sizes, size up for everyday wear or size down for post-surgical use.
| Size | Waist (cm) | Hips (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| M | 68–73 | 94–99 |
| L | 74–79 | 100–105 |
| XL | 80–86 | 106–112 |
| 2XL | 87–93 | 113–119 |
| 3XL | 94–100 | 120–126 |
Fit Tips

- For post-surgical fajas, consult your surgeon for sizing recommendations
- When in doubt, size up — you can always adjust straps and closures
- The free-size Waist Trainer Band fits most waist sizes 60–100 cm
