How to Put On Your Compression Shirt Properly
For the smoothest fit and the best chest and stomach compression, step into the shirt and pull it up gradually instead of yanking it on from the top. That helps the fabric sit more evenly across the torso.
Style Selection, Wearing, Washing & Sizing Guide
Use this page to choose the right Esteem Apparel style for your goal, then follow the washing, drying, and sizing guidance below to get the best fit and longest life from your shirt.
If your main priority is gynecomastia or chest flattening, start with Original. If your priority is overall body slimming, start with Max. If your priority is breathable everyday wear, start with EliteSlim.
Machine wash cold or low temperature
Gentle washing helps preserve compression and fabric recovery.
Hang dry for best results
You can use a low-temperature dryer briefly, but hang drying is best for maintaining shape and elasticity.
Do not bleach or iron
High heat and harsh chemicals can shorten the life of the fabric and reduce compression.
Which Style Should You Choose?
Original is the tightest style and the best choice for chest flattening, gynecomastia, and men who want the strongest compression effect under clothing.
Max is slightly less tight than Original, has fewer seams, looks the most sporty, and is the best choice for overall body slimming.
EliteSlim is again less tight overall, more breathable than all styles, feels the most like a traditional undershirt, and is the best in-between option if you want support without the strongest compression feel.
If you are not sure where to start, think about your main goal first: chest flattening = Original, overall slimming = Max, everyday breathable undershirt feel = EliteSlim.
