How to Choose the Right Size for EMS Toning Shorts

Not sure which size to choose? Start with the size you usually wear, then compare your waist and hip measurements with the product size chart. You can also check the product length to see which size is likely to fit you best. Here is the size chart:
JOVS Size US Size US Letter Length (in) Waist (in) Hip (in) Recommended Fit
F 0–8 XS–M 10.0″ 24.4″ 31.9″ S/M/L
F+ 10–12 M–L 10.4″ 26.0″ 33.5″ L/XL
F++ 12–14 L–XL 10.6″ 31.1″ 37.0″ XL/XXL
If your measurements fall between F and F+, we recommend choosing F for a closer fit and a more noticeable EMS sensation. The professional high-stretch fabric (75% nylon and 25% spandex) is designed to stretch with your body, so a closer fit can help maintain good contact between the electrodes and your skin.
If you're still not sure which size is right for you, feel free to contact our customer service team.

How to Know If Your EMS Shorts Fit Correctly

The following outlines how to determine the correct fit and the potential issues associated with a fit that is too loose or too tight:
Your EMS shorts are likely a good fit if:
  • The shorts fit the body closely without causing uncomfortable pressure or a sense of constriction.
  • The electrodes maintain continuous, stable contact with the skin during wear.
  • The shorts do not shift significantly during movements such as squats, walking, stretching, or leg lifts.
  • Movement is unrestricted, and the shorts do not feel constrictive.
Maybe too loose if:
  • The shorts shift position during exercise.
  • You experience uneven stimulation.
  • The electrodes do not stay in the intended position.
Maybe too tight if:
  • You feel uncomfortable, or experience strong pressure.
  • Your movement is restricted, preventing you from exercising normally.

What If You Can Barely Feel the EMS?

Not feeling much stimulation during your first few sessions? That's okay. Before turning up the intensity, check a few simple things first.
  • Loose fit: If the shorts don't fit closely enough, the electrodes may not stay in consistent contact with your skin. Before using, check your measurements again and consider choosing a smaller size for a closer fit.
  • Poor skin contact: Before starting, to make sure the skin and electrodes have good contact, you can use a small amount of water or conductive gel to help keep the skin moist and improve contact. Using the device on dry skin may cause discomfort, and please be sure to follow the product manual for proper operation.
  • Incorrect program: The EMS Toning Shorts offer programs for different target areas, including the glutes and pelvic floor. When you start, you need to choose the program that matches the area you want to focus on.
  • Low intensity: If you're new to EMS, you can start at the lowest comfortable intensity and gradually increase it as you become familiar with the stimulation. There's no need to jump straight to a higher level.

Conclusion

Once you have the right fit, start with a comfortable EMS intensity and choose the program that matches your target area. If you're still unsure about sizing or how to get the right fit, our customer service team is happy to help.

FAQs about Choosing the Size of EMS Shaping Shorts

Should EMS shorts fit tightly?

A snug, comfortable fit is fine. As long as you don't feel restricted blood flow and can move freely, the fit is appropriate.

What if I'm between two sizes?

You can choose the smaller size, as the material, 75% nylon and 25% spandex, is highly elastic.

Can I wear EMS toning shorts during exercise?

Yes, EMS can complement your workout routine, and here is a guide for beginners.

How do EMS shorts work on the gluteal and pelvic floor muscles?
