Womens Firm Control Shapewear Butt Lifter Shaper Waist Trainer

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE:

Always step into shapewear, even camisoles, and pull the garment up over the hips to avoid trapping the head and arms in the shaper. Also, bunch up the shaper like pantyhose and pull it on while gradually releasing the fabric. Do not try to put it on like a regular piece of clothing. Leave crotches hooked or snapped, as it can be difficult to get these fastened once the shaper is on. More complicated pieces should come with instructions. The trick is to go slowly and be patient. Wearing a shaper takes a bit more effort than throwing on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, but the effort is worth it.

Don't Buy Shapewear That Is Too Small

Shapewear that is smaller does not provide more support; it simply does not fit and is uncomfortable. A body shaper that is too tight pinches, binds, cuts off circulation, and creates unsightly rolls and bulges where the shapewear ends. Instead of going smaller, find shapewear with firmer support in the correct size.

Don't Buy Shapewear That Is Too Large

It is a fallacy to think that shapewear a size larger is more comfortable. A body shaper that is too big moves around, gapes, wrinkles, bunches, or twists when it is worn. Moreover, it does not provide the correct level of support, so in essence it acts as an extra layer of clothing that serves no purpose. Sizes are not visible on the outside, so go with what fits and do not worry about the difference between 1X and 2X.

Don't Be Afraid of Seams

A lot of women refuse to wear bras with seamed cups because they tend to show through today's casual knits. Unfortunately, this is sometimes true with bras, but because shapers are generally worn around the waist and bottom, seams are usually covered by structured pants or skirts. Even with knit garments, many shapewear seams are hardly noticeable due to improved technology. The only way to know is to try it on, so do not discount an item before doing so just because it is seamless.

Don't Give Up on Diet and Exercise

A body shaper is no substitute for the health benefits of good nutrition and regular activity. Besides, shapewear is useless on the beach and in the bedroom. Healthful eating increases energy and reduces the risk of many diseases. Working out, whether in the form of a gym membership, yoga classes, or regular walks in the neighborhood, increases confidence, boosts energy, improves posture, and helps people sleep better.
