Ordering

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

Orders placed before 18:00 on weekdays are usually processed the same day. The final delivery time depends on the carrier.

How does paying by invoice with Klarna work?

Choose Klarna at checkout to pay by invoice. After your order has been shipped, you'll receive a payment request from Klarna and can pay within the period set by Klarna. You can find more information on the Klarna website.

I haven't received an order confirmation. What now?

Sometimes an order confirmation doesn't arrive, for example because of a typo in the email address or because the email ended up in your spam folder.

So please check your spam or junk folder first.

If you can't find the confirmation there, please contact us. We'll check and update your contact details so you can track your order properly.

Can I cancel my order afterwards?

Once an order has been processed or shipped, unfortunately it can no longer be cancelled. However, you can return it after receiving it, in line with our returns policy.

Can I still change my address after ordering?

Orders are processed immediately after they're placed, so unfortunately it isn't always possible to change the delivery address. Contact us as soon as possible and we'll check whether a change is still possible.

Delivery

When can I expect my order?

We do our best to deliver your order as quickly as possible. If you order before 18:00 on a weekday, we usually ship it the same day.

You'll find an estimated delivery time on our product page. If for any reason we can't meet the delivery time, we'll of course let you know straight away.

Are orders delivered at the weekend too?

Weekend delivery depends on the carrier and may vary by region. Always check the tracking information for the latest status.

Which carrier will ship my order?

We ship our orders with a fixed carrier, and you'll always receive a tracking number as soon as your parcel has been sent.

Will my order arrive as a letter or a parcel?

That depends on the size and contents of your order. Smaller orders are often sent as a letterbox parcel, larger ones as a tracked parcel.

What happens if I'm not at home when my order is delivered?

If you're not at home, the carrier will try to leave the parcel with a neighbour or at a parcel shop. You'll be notified of this via the tracking information.

For small parcels, the courier will try to put the parcel through your letterbox.

What happens if I don't collect my parcel from the parcel shop or parcel locker?

If a parcel isn't collected within the stated period, it's automatically returned to us. It is the customer's responsibility to collect the parcel in time.

Has your parcel been returned to us? Then there are two options:

  • Resend : this is possible if you pay the shipping costs.
  • Don't resend : in this case, the return shipping costs will be deducted from the refund amount.

This way, we keep our service fair and affordable for everyone.

My tracking says "delivered", but I haven't received anything. What now?

First check whether the parcel has been left with a neighbour or in a safe place. If you still can't find the parcel after 24 hours, please contact us so we can start an investigation with the carrier.

What happens if my order arrives incomplete or damaged?

In that case, contact us as soon as possible and send clear photos or a video of the problem. We'll look into the situation and make sure you get a suitable solution.

Shapewear

Which areas of the body can shapewear shape?

Shapewear can shape different areas of the body, such as the tummy, bum, thighs, hips and waist. We offer different shapewear styles for different areas of the body.

How do I choose the right shapewear size?

It's important to take your measurements carefully and check the size chart to see which size fits best.

Choose a size that feels comfortable while still giving enough support and compression.

Unsure between two sizes? Then choose the larger size.

Can shapewear improve my posture?

Yes, our shapewear products are designed to improve your posture by supporting your back and abdominal muscles. This can help you stand up straighter and reduce back discomfort.

Is shapewear comfortable to wear all day?

That depends on the type of shapewear and your personal preferences.

Many people find shapewear comfortable for everyday wear. Look for high-quality materials – then shapewear is comfortable to wear all day.

What's the best way to care for my shapewear?

Always check the care label on your shapewear for specific instructions. In general, you should hand-wash shapewear in cold water and leave it to air-dry to preserve its elasticity.

Can shapewear help conceal cellulite?

Shapewear can help visually smooth cellulite by compressing the skin and making it look smoother. However, shapewear is not a permanent solution for cellulite, and it's important to have realistic expectations.

Adhesive bras and bra accessories

Does the adhesive bra stay in place in the heat, when I sweat or when I'm dancing?

Yes, the adhesive bra stays in place in the heat, when you sweat and when you're dancing, as long as you apply it correctly to clean, dry skin.

My bra or adhesive bra arrived out of shape

Sometimes bras or adhesive bras can lose their shape slightly in transit. This is easy to fix: carefully steam the cups and they'll return to their shape.

You can do this at home with a garment steamer or by briefly holding the bra over warm steam, for example from a hot shower or a kettle. Then let the cups cool for a moment while you gently ease them back into shape.

With an adhesive bra, only steam the fabric side, not the adhesive layer.

Can I reuse the adhesive bra? If so, how often?

If you use and care for it correctly, the adhesive bra lasts for up to 20 wears.

How do I clean the adhesive bra without damaging the adhesive layer?

Always hand-wash the adhesive bra in lukewarm water. Gently clean the adhesive layer with your fingertips, rinse thoroughly and leave the bra to air-dry with the adhesive side facing up. Don't use a towel, heat or a washing machine. Once the bra is dry, you can put the protective film back on.

Does removing it hurt? What's the best way to remove it?

No, removing it doesn't hurt if you do it calmly and correctly. Moisten the adhesive bra slightly or carefully peel it off from top to bottom while supporting your skin. Don't pull too quickly, to avoid discomfort.

How do I choose the right bra extender?

First check how many hooks your bra has and choose an extender with the same number. That way, the extender fastens properly and your bra fits comfortably without being too tight.

Which bras are extenders suitable for?

Bra extenders are suitable for most bras with a hook fastening, such as underwired, wire-free and sports bras. They give you extra room and comfort around the underband.

How often can I reuse bra accessories?

With normal use and good care, bra accessories are durable and can be used many times. That makes them a sustainable solution.

Are bra accessories suitable for everyday use?

Yes, all our bra accessories are designed to be comfortable, even when worn every day. They feel light and are kind to your skin.

Are bra accessories also suitable for larger cup sizes?

Yes, many bra accessories offer extra support and stability, so they're also suitable for larger cup sizes. Always check the product description for the best result.

Which bra accessory can I use to hide my bra straps?

You can hide bra straps with a racerback clip, a halterneck converter or transparent straps. That way, your outfit looks perfect.

Boob tape and accessories

How do I prepare my skin before applying boob tape?

Make sure your skin is clean and dry and free from body lotion, oil or cream. The tape doesn't stick as well to oily or damp skin and won't stay in place as well.

Our boob tape has been extensively tested and compared with other brands. The tests showed that Shapetape uses the best materials. So you get maximum comfort, and our products are guaranteed to last all evening.

Can I use boob tape on sensitive skin?

Do not use this product if you have sensitive, thin, broken or injured skin, or if your skin is sunburnt or sun-damaged.

Can I use boob tape in the sun?

We strongly advise against using the product in the sun. Excessive heat or sun exposure can overheat the adhesive and irritate or burn your skin. Do not expose our product to heat or sun for long periods.

Is boob tape reusable?

Boob tape is designed for single use.

Looking for a reusable option? Then take a look at our adhesive bras.

What's the difference between nipple covers and silicone nipple covers?

The nipple covers are made of cotton with an adhesive layer and are intended for single use.

Silicone nipple covers are thicker than standard ones and give your bust a rounded shape. They can be reused up to 20 times.

Combine nipple covers or silicone nipple covers with boob tape for the best result.

How can I clean silicone nipple covers and adhesive bras?

You can hand-wash our nipple covers in lukewarm water – not in the washing machine or tumble dryer.

Gently clean the adhesive layer with your fingertips and avoid contact with your nails so you don't damage the adhesive layer.

To keep it clean, put the protective film from the packaging back on the product.

Can I use boob tape and nipple covers together?

We recommend using boob tape together with nipple covers.

Boob tape provides support and a natural lift, while the nipple covers conceal and protect your nipples.

If you want to combine the benefits of boob tape and nipple covers, choose an adhesive bra.

Underwear

Sometimes bras or adhesive bras can lose their shape slightly in transit. This is easy to fix: carefully steam the cups and they'll return to their shape.

You can do this at home with a garment steamer or by briefly holding the bra over warm steam, for example from a hot shower or a kettle. Then let the cups cool for a moment while you gently ease them back into shape.

Can you see seamless underwear under fitted dresses or trousers?

No, thanks to the seamless design, the underwear is invisible under fitted clothing.

Can you see seamless underwear under light-coloured or sheer clothing?

Under light-coloured or sheer clothing, it's best to choose light or skin-toned seamless underwear.

Under dark, sheer clothing, black or skin-toned seamless underwear works best.

How do I choose between a thong, briefs or shorts for my outfit?

A thong is ideal under fitted clothing when you don't want any lines to show. Briefs give a little more coverage for everyday comfort, and shorts are perfect under dresses or skirts to prevent chafing.

How much does period underwear absorb?

The period underwear is highly absorbent and holds up to 35 ml of fluid. That makes it suitable for light to heavy days.

What's the best way to wash period underwear?

First rinse the underwear in cold water, then machine-wash it at a maximum of 30 °C without fabric softener and leave it to air-dry. Do not tumble dry.
