Shapewear is much more than just sculpting lingerie; it’s also supportive lingerie, sexy lingerie and, above all, slimming lingerie! It’s the flat-tummy lingerie we’ve all been waiting for!

With shapewear, our curves have never looked better, our posture has never been so lifted and streamlined, and our tummy has never looked so flat. Our feminine curves are enhanced. By launching her own brand of shapewear, Kim Kardashian dusted off and brought back into fashion the high-waisted girdle-style shaping panties our grandmothers wore. Shaping briefs, shaping shorties and shaping bodysuits have become must-haves.

Fortunately, the 2024 version of the girdle is far more comfortable and pleasant to wear; it’s also sexier and more feminine. In short, slimming lingerie has established itself as essential women’s lingerie!

5 tips for choosing the right shapewear

Here are the 5 essential tips for wearing shapewear without making mistakes.

1. Choose the right size

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

It’s very simple: grab a tape measure and note down your measurements. Thigh circumference, hip circumference, waist circumference, bust measurement – take them carefully. It matters and will reassure you. Choosing a size that’s too small (in the hope of losing a few centimetres) is really not a good idea: you’ll feel squeezed in and your wearing experience will be anything but comfortable.

2. High-quality technical fabrics for firm support

Just like our period lingerie, Louloucup shaping and sculpting lingerie is made from high-quality technical fabrics. These provide exceptional support and strong firmness.

Keep in mind that slimming or shaping lingerie can be more or less firm. There are different levels of firmness. Do your research and think about what you really want. Are you looking for a flat, held-in tummy or sculpted, reshaped hips? Do you want slimmer thighs or a reshaped butt? In shapewear lingerie, there are different levels of firmness and compression. In all cases, it’s strong-control shaping lingerie.

3. Ultra-comfortable shapewear

Firm support, but with comfort! Yes, tummy‑control lingerie and 2024 shapewear lingerie are nothing like the old‑fashioned, ultra‑tight garments that restricted blood flow, breathing or even digestion.

The lining of our Louloucup shapewear is, for example, extremely soft. It’s genuinely a pleasure to put on and wear. Plus, the different styles in the Louloucup shapewear range don’t roll down or up on themselves like some other shapewear lingerie can. Thanks to the internal silicone bands, our Louloucup shaping styles (both our control brief and our shaping shorty) stay put and remain perfectly in place on the skin, no matter how you move.

Good to know: Louloucup shapewear underwear is designed to be worn every day.

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

4. Choosing the right shaping lingerie piece

A shaping brief to lift your butt, a tummy-control shaping bodysuit for a slimmer waist, shaping shorts for a firm neckline, a long-sleeved bodysuit for toned arms – which slimming underwear should you choose? Here are a few ideas:

• To create an hourglass waist and balance your beautiful, feminine curves – enhance your bust, define your waist and sculpt your hips while smoothing love handles – opt for a shaping panty or control panty bodysuit.
  
  
• If you’re finally ready to get that much-desired flat stomach, a slimming shaping brief or sculpting brief helps smooth this area and refine the waistline. A high-waisted shaping brief smooths out small bulges and lower belly fat.
