Are You Wearing the Wrong Underwear with Your Faja?

What to Wear Under a Faja for Post-Surgery and Daily Shaping

Wearing a faja correctly isn’t just about choosing the right size. What you wear underneath matters, and the wrong underwear can affect comfort, compression, and even recovery.

If your faja rolls, feels uncomfortable, or leaves marks, the issue may not be the garment; it could be your underwear.

Why Underwear Choice Matters

A faja is designed to provide even compression and support. The wrong underwear can:

undefined Disrupt compression

undefined Cause rolling or pressure marks

undefined Increase friction and irritation

undefined Affect post-surgical healing

Common Underwear Mistakes

undefined Lace thongs: skin irritation

undefined Cotton briefs: too bulky

undefined Low-rise panties: roll-down nightmare

undefined Visible seams: compression marks

What to Wear Under a Faja (By Healing Stage)

Stage 1: Fresh Post-Op

undefined Wear the faja directly on the skin

✘ No underwear

This helps maintain even compression and reduce friction during healing. If you prefer a light layer, especially when using boards or foams, a thin, breathable tank top can be used instead of underwear.

undefined We recommend our Essential Tank , designed to work perfectly with Stage 1 fajas.


Stage 2: After Initial Healing

undefined Seamless high-waisted panties

undefined Seamless thongs (fully healed only)

undefined Ultra-thin, breathable fabrics

These options improve comfort without disrupting compression.


Post-Surgery vs Daily Wear

undefined Post-surgery: prioritize healing, hygiene, and minimal friction

undefined Daily wear: seamless, lightweight underwear works best

The goal is always the same: support your body without interfering with compression.


undefined Pro Tip

Many fajas include a zipper flap, so you can use the restroom without taking everything off and keep your private area covered. Wearing underwear over the faja is optional, just an extra comfort choice, not a must. undefined
