FAQ
Can I wear Mama Faja after a C-section?
Mama Faja was inspired by a C-section experience, so we understand why comfort, material and compression are especially important after surgery.
However, every recovery is different. Your incision needs time to heal, and a faja should never cause pain, irritation or uncomfortable pressure around your incision.
We recommend waiting until your healthcare professional has confirmed that wearing a compression garment is appropriate for you.
What does Mama Faja actually do?
Mama Faja provides firm, supportive compression around the midsection to help create a smoother, more defined silhouette.
You'll notice the sculpting effect as soon as you put it on.
The supportive compression can also make you feel more secure and conscious of your posture while moving throughout your day.
Mama Faja is designed to support your lifestyle. Not replace movement, exercise or postpartum recovery.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes. Many women enjoy incorporating a faja into their daily routine.
Start with a comfortable amount of time and gradually increase wear as you become accustomed to the compression.
If you experience pain, numbness, tingling, difficulty breathing or significant discomfort, remove the garment.
Can I wear Mama Faja if I haven't had a baby?
Yes!
Although Mama Faja was inspired by a postpartum experience and designed with postpartum women in mind, anyone looking for supportive compression and a sculpted silhouette can enjoy wearing it. (providing you are NOT PREGNANT of course)
How tight should my faja feel?
Mama Faja is designed to provide firm compression, so it should feel supportive and snug.
However, tighter does not mean better.
You should still be able to breathe comfortably, move naturally and go about your day without significant discomfort.
If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing your size based on our size guide rather than sizing down simply to achieve more compression.
How do I choose my size?
Please use our Size Guide before ordering.
For the best fit, take your measurements according to the instructions provided and compare them with our size chart.
Your Faja should feel snug and supportive without causing pain or restricting your breathing or movement.
Why is comfort so important in a postpartum faja?
Because postpartum is different.
Your body has just experienced pregnancy and birth, and in the case of a C-section, you've also undergone major abdominal surgery.
We believe a postpartum faja shouldn't simply focus on squeezing the waist. Material, construction, compression and comfort all matter.
A faja that feels supportive enough to actually wear consistently is far more useful than one that looks good but leaves you uncomfortable.
That's one of the reasons Mama Faja was created.
