The Black Purple First Order Guide 2026: Pick, Size and Save in Ten Minutes

You have three tabs open: the shorts, the leggings and the bundle. Each one has a size selector, a strikethrough price and a banner offering a code. You close one tab, reopen it, and start wondering whether you should just buy all three and sort it out later.

Please don't. The Black Purple's Mass & Slim range is small enough that a first order takes about ten minutes once you know the order of decisions. Olivia Reviews walked through every step of a new-customer purchase on theblackpurple.com in October 2026, from picking the first piece to what happens if it doesn't fit.

Quick take: Choose one piece based on what you wear most, measure your hips and waist, decide between a single piece and a set, then pick the code that saves more: SIMPLY10 ($10 off a first order) or 2ORMORE ($20 off two or more items). Standard shipping is free and the brand estimates three to five business days. Size exchanges are free for 60 days. Before you start, see today's The Black Purple deals.

Step 1: Choose your first piece by your wardrobe, not the photos

Look at what you actually wear four days a week. That answers the question faster than any product page.

Mostly dresses and skirts? Start with the grey Shapewear Shorts, $87.95 (was $99.95).
Mostly trousers, jeans or scrubs? Start with the grey Shapewear Leggings, $97.95 (was $109.95).
You want something to wear on its own for the gym or errands? The black Compression Leggings, $109.95 (was $139.95), are the brand's outerwear piece.
You only want midsection coverage, or the lowest entry price? The seamless Waist Shaper is $77.95 and has no hooks or boning.

Every piece is high-waisted and pull-on, and every one uses fabric with small Tourmaline® beads knitted in. The brand pitches the line at women who spend long days on their feet, such as nurses, moms and busy professionals.

Step 2: Measure twice, then pick one size

All Mass & Slim pieces come in four sizes: Small (US 6/8), Medium (10/12), Large (14/16) and Extra Large (18/20). The size chart uses hip and waist measurements, so take both with a soft tape before you open the size selector.

Two rules decide the rest. For the grey shorts, leggings and Waist Shaper, the brand says to order your true U.S. size and go up only if you're between sizes. For the black Compression Leggings, it says to size up one full size. If your measurements fall above the XL range, email the brand before ordering rather than guessing.

Step 3: Single piece, bundle or 3-pack?

This is where most first-time buyers overthink it. Here's how the options compare:

Option	Price (Oct 2026)	What you get	Best moment to choose it
One single piece	$77.95–$109.95	One garment in one size	You aren't sure of your size yet
Shapewear Bundle (3-Piece)	$199.85 (vs $263.85)	Shorts, leggings and Waist Shaper	You wear both dresses and pants
Shorts 3-Pack	$199.85 (vs $263.85)	Three pairs of shorts, one size	You already know your size
Leggings 3-Pack	$229.85 (vs $293.85)	Three pairs of leggings, one size	Daily trouser or scrubs wearers

Each set saves $64 against the single prices. The catch with the 3-packs: all three pairs come in the single size you choose. For a true first order, a single piece is the lower-risk move, because a sizing mistake only costs you one exchange.

Step 4: Use the code that fits your cart

The Black Purple is one of the few brands that prints its codes on its own site. In October 2026, Olivia Reviews saw two:

SIMPLY10: "$10 off your first order," entered at checkout.
2ORMORE: "Save $20 when you buy 2+," shown in the site's top banner.

The brand doesn't say whether they combine, so plan on one. Some quick math for a first cart:

Waist Shaper alone: $77.95, or $67.95 with SIMPLY10.
Shorts + Waist Shaper: $165.90, or $145.90 with 2ORMORE.
Grey Leggings + black Compression Leggings: $207.90, or $187.90 with 2ORMORE.

Whether 2ORMORE works on a bundle, which counts as a single product, wasn't stated, so check the total at checkout before you pay.

Step 5: Check out without surprises

The store runs on Shopify, and its footer lists American Express, Apple Pay, Diners Club, Discover, Google Pay, Mastercard, PayPal, Shop Pay and Visa. Standard shipping is free on every order; expedited shipping is available at an extra cost. Prices show in U.S. dollars for U.S. shoppers.

Before you click pay, double-check two things: the size on each line item, and that the discount line shows on the order summary. If you're ordering a 3-pack, confirm the single size again, since you can't mix sizes inside one pack.

Step 6: Delivery and tracking

According to the brand's customer service page, all U.S. orders ship from its warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas, by tracked service. The Shipping & Returns page puts expected delivery at three to five business days. The company also ships to Canada and several European countries, with international delivery times that vary. If you need help, customer service lists a toll-free number, 1-(833) 756-8348, open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central, and says it answers emails within one business day.

Step 7: Your first few wears

Here is the part that trips up new customers: the first try-on can feel tight. The brand says this is intended. Its Shipping & Returns page notes that shapewear "may feel snug at first" and adapts over time, and the black leggings' page says the firm fabric relaxes after three or four wears.

For the black leggings, the brand suggests a technique: turn them inside out, bunch up the legs and roll them smoothly up over your hips and thighs, rather than pulling at the waistband. Wash every piece on a gentle, cold cycle; the grey pieces can go in the dryer on low heat, while the black leggings should hang dry or go on a low setting.

A safety note from the brand: don't wear the garments over open wounds or swollen, inflamed or irritated skin, after recent surgery or during pregnancy. If you have a medical condition, ask your medical provider before wearing any compression garment.

Step 8: If it isn't right

Start every request by emailing info@theblackpurple.com with your invoice. The brand's Shipping & Returns page offers:

Free size exchanges within 60 days.
A 60-day money-back return, and it says you may wear an item once or twice to judge the fit, as long as it's clean and hasn't been worn regularly.
Wrong or damaged items: email within 14 days with your invoice number and a photo. If the brand sent the wrong item, you don't need to send it back.

One important catch: the store's separate refund policy says returns are accepted for unused items and that opened or worn products can't be returned for hygiene reasons. Because the two pages disagree, Olivia Reviews suggests emailing the brand before wearing anything you might want to return, and keeping the packaging until you're sure.

First-order FAQ

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. The site shows SIMPLY10 for $10 off your first order.

Final verdict

A smart first order from The Black Purple is a single piece matched to your everyday wardrobe, in a size taken from fresh measurements, with SIMPLY10 at checkout. Give it three or four wears before judging the fit, and lean on the free exchange if you need it. Once you know your size, a bundle or 3-pack makes the second order cheaper. Ready to start?
