Back coverage, straps, or sleeves? Find the faja that fits your needsUpdated 16 days ago

By Fajas Tributo



When choosing a faja, the smaller details can make the decision feel complicated. Do you need a higher back? Would you prefer straps or sleeves? Should your bra be part of the garment or worn separately?

A helpful place to begin is with the areas you need covered. From there, we can help you explore the details that suit your body and daily routine.

Start with what you need

Think about the areas you want your garment to include: your abdomen, waist, back, arms, thighs, or bust. If you are preparing for surgery, bring any garment instructions your surgeon has shared.

You do not need to know the name of every style before reaching out. Knowing your needs and preferences gives us a starting point.

  • Back coverage: A higher back includes more of your upper back, while a mid-back design leaves more of that area uncovered. Consider both the coverage you need and the necklines you usually wear.

  • Straps: Their width and placement are worth comparing, especially if you have a preferred shoulder fit or want to wear your faja under certain tops.



  • Sleeves: If you need arm coverage, explore where the sleeves end on each style. Your arm proportions also matter when reviewing their length.

  • Bra style: A built-in bra brings bust support into the garment. A bra-free design lets you choose your bra separately, including a post-op bra when prescribed.
