FANTABODY Bas Essentials Logo: Sizing and Care Guide

What the Bas Essentials Logo actually is

The FANTABODY Bas Essentials Logo is a high-waist slip with a soft elastic logo band designed to shape the hips gently. It is made from recycled microfiber fabric sourced from Italy, and the catalog pairs it with the matching Essential Logo bra as an everyday set.

That description matters for both sizing and care. This is a stretch microfiber piece with an elastic waistband, not a rigid garment. The band does structural work at the waist, and the microfiber does the soft shaping around the hips. Treat those two parts differently when you wash and store it.

How to choose your size in stretch microfiber

The catalog states that Fantabody products are made from stretch fabric, but it does not publish a size chart, hip measurements, or a compression rating. That is a real limitation, not something to guess around. Use the size options available on the product page and your usual underwear size as the starting point, then treat the high waist and elastic band as the fit checkpoints.

When the slip arrives, check two things before removing tags. First, the logo band should sit flat at your natural waist without rolling or digging in. Second, the microfiber should smooth your hips without pulling tight across the front. If the band rolls, the waist is likely too small; if the fabric bunches instead of lying smooth, the fit is too loose to shape as intended.

Because the fabric is stretchy, do not size up hoping for a looser everyday feel. The shaping comes from the fabric sitting close to the body. If you want a relaxed fit, this is probably not the right piece for that job.

Catalog facts that affect the fit

• FANTABODY - Bas Essentials Logo: High-waist slip with a soft elastic logo band designed to shape the hips gently. The waistband is the fit checkpoint: it should sit flat and stay put rather than roll or press in.

  

• FANTABODY - Bas Essentials Logo: Made from recycled microfiber stretch fabric sourced from Italy. Stretch microfiber follows the body, so the garment should sit close without needing to be sized up.
• FANTABODY - Bas Essentials Logo: The catalog recommends pairing it with the Essential Logo bra. If you want a matching set, buy both pieces in the same size so the waistband and bra band feel consistent.

How to wash the Bas Essentials Logo

The only care instruction in the catalog is cold washing. The steps below stay within that instruction and avoid adding heat, agitation, or chemicals the fabric is not documented to handle.

1. Wash cold: Follow the catalog instruction and use cold water. Do not substitute warm or hot water, since the product record does not support it.
2. Turn the slip inside out: This puts the delicate microfiber against itself rather than against the elastic logo band, which is the part most likely to snag or lose its smooth finish.
3. Skip the dryer: The catalog does not mention tumble drying. Air-dry flat or hang the slip to avoid heat and tumbling that the care instructions do not cover.
4. Keep the band flat while drying: Lay the waistband smooth so it dries in its natural shape instead of folding over on itself.

Where the care instructions stop

The product record gives one instruction: cold wash. It does not specify detergent type, bleach, ironing, dry cleaning, or machine versus hand washing. Rather than invent a routine, treat those as open questions and choose the gentlest option you already trust for stretch microfiber.

The same honesty applies to pole training. The Bas Essentials Logo is described as an everyday essential, not as pole-specific grip wear. The catalog makes no claims about grip, sweat management, or performance on the pole. If you want it for warm-ups or floor work, that is a reasonable use, but do not expect it to replace pole shorts or tops designed for grip.

Common questions about the Bas Essentials Logo

Should I size up in FANTABODY tights?

The catalog says Fantabody uses stretch fabric but gives no size chart. Start with your usual size and use the waistband and hip fit as your check. Sizing up works against the gentle shaping the piece is designed for.

Can I put it in the dryer?

The only documented care instruction is cold washing. The catalog does not mention tumble drying, so air-drying is the safer choice for the microfiber and the elastic logo band.

Is it suitable for pole dance training?

It is described as an everyday essential, and the catalog makes no grip or performance claims. Wear it for warm-ups, stretching, or daily wear rather than as grip-specific pole wear.

How should I store it?

The catalog does not specify storage. Folding the slip flat so the logo band is not compressed or creased is consistent with protecting an elastic band, but this is general practice rather than a documented instruction.
