5 tips for choosing the right shapewear

Here are the 5 essential tips for wearing shapewear the right way.

1. Choose the right size

It’s important to choose the right size for your shapewear underwear. The first time you see a shapewear model or sculpting lingerie, you might think there’s no way you’ll fit into it. Shapewear is actually very stretchy, so don’t worry. We strongly recommend following the brand’s advice, checking the size guide, and taking your measurements.

That’s easy: just use a measuring tape and record your measurements. Thighs, hips, waist, bust—measure carefully. It’s important and will give you peace of mind. Choosing a size that’s too small (hoping to lose a few inches) is really not a good idea: you’ll feel squeezed and your wearing experience won’t be comfortable at all.

2. High-quality technical fabrics for optimal firmness

Just like our period lingerie, Louloucup’s sculpting and shaping lingerie features high-quality technical fabrics that provide exceptional support and strong firmness.

Keep in mind that slimming or shaping lingerie comes in varying levels of firmness. Ask yourself what you’re looking for: Do you want a flat, toned stomach, sculpted hips, slimmer thighs, or a reshaped butt? Shapewear comes in different levels of firmness and compression. In every case, this is high-compression shapewear.

3. Comfortable shapewear

Firmness, but with comfort! Yes, flat tummy lingerie and 2024 shapewear lingerie are nothing like the old, restrictive shapewear that cut off circulation, made it hard to breathe, or affected digestion.

The lining of our Louloucup shapewear products is incredibly soft. It’s truly a pleasure to put them on and wear them. Plus, the different styles in the Louloucup shapewear collection don’t roll down on themselves like some other shapewear lingerie can. Thanks to the internal silicone bands, our Louloucup shaping models (both our shaping panties and our shaping shorty) stay in place and remain perfectly still on your skin, even when you move.

Good to know: Louloucup shapewear underwear is designed for everyday wear.

The softness of cotton is just as important as the firmness of the elastic. Yes to sculpting lingerie and feminine lingerie that’s finally pleasant and comfortable to wear!

4. Choose the right supportive lingerie piece

A shaping panty to lift your butt, a tummy-control bodysuit for a slimmer waist, shaping shorts for a firmer bust, a long-sleeve bodysuit for toned arms—which slimming underwear should you choose? Here are a few ideas:

• To create an hourglass waist and find balance between your beautiful, feminine curves: enhance your bust, define your waist, and shape your hips while smoothing out love handles—go for a sculpting panty or shaping panty bodysuit.
  
  
• To finally get that flat stomach you’ve always wanted, slimming or shaping panties help smooth this area and slim the waistline. High-waisted shaping panties smooth out small bulges and lower belly fat. To learn more: How to choose flat tummy panties?
• For a toned bust and a lifted, slimmer upper body, the long-sleeve shaping bodysuit is the answer. It smooths your upper body, especially your arms—a common concern for many women. We know how hard it is to tone this area, no matter how many dumbbell sessions you do at the gym!

5. Final tip: choose a feminine and sexy style

Maybe you’re choosing shapewear lingerie for its slimming effect, but it’s also important to feel pretty and sexy in your shaping panties or sculpting underwear.

That’s essential.

Today, shapewear lingerie brands are making an effort to offer supportive lingerie and thoughtfully designed underwear with an elevated, very feminine look.

Firmness matters just as much as beautiful lace. We want sexy black lace, elegant and classy pieces that make us feel powerful and desirable, strong and gorgeous!

In short, shapewear lingerie, sculpting lingerie, and feminine lingerie can be a perfect match!
