How should I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. Given the bodycon fit, precise measurements are recommended for the best fit.

Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bodycon fit is intended to be snug; consider if this level of fit meets your comfort preference.
Fabric losing elasticity
Review washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat in washing machines or dryers, as this can degrade the elastane content.
Snap closure is difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the snaps are properly aligned before fastening. If they feel stiff, try gently wiggling them. With regular use, they should become smoother.
