What is a faja?

A faja is a shapewear garment, primarily worn around the torso, designed to provide compression and support. Fajas are often used post-surgery to aid in recovery, reduce swelling, and promote healing. They are also worn for aesthetic purposes, aiming to create a smoother silhouette and enhance body shape. The level of compression varies depending on the style and intended use. Some fajas feature adjustable closures, like hooks and eyes or zippers, to customize the fit. Materials commonly used include powernet, spandex, and cotton blends. Different types cater to various needs, such as waist cinchers, full-body suits, and postpartum fajas.
