How do you choose the right shapewear bodysuit?

To help you find and choose the right shapewear bodysuit, we’ve selected the most important criteria you shouldn’t compromise on. Material, composition, size, shape, comfort—here’s everything you need to know about shapewear bodysuits.

➺ The material

Looking for targeted shaping and sculpting of your bust? Pay close attention to the shapewear bodysuit’s composition. What materials are used? Cotton, polyamide, Tencel, Lycra? Are there any labels or certifications?

The quality of the fabrics and materials used is important. The more transparent a brand is about its product composition, the more reassured you’ll feel. Most importantly, you’ll know exactly what you’re buying. And you can trust that this lingerie piece will last over time, wash after wash.

➺ Size

Looking for noticeable slimming results? Sticking to your usual size is the best advice we can give. Be sure to read the product page for the item you want, and check the associated size guide as well.

One last tip: before confirming your order, take a look at reviews from previous customers. It’s helpful to know if the bodysuit runs large or small based on their feedback.

➺ Shaping and slimming or contouring and sculpting?

When it comes to shapewear, control lingerie can differ based on the level of firmness. Some styles offer more shaping—shaping panties are a true ally for sculpting your body, for example. These are bodysuits with strong firmness that visually firm and slim the body and silhouette. In a bodysuit, shaping happens on the torso, stomach, and chest. Control lingerie is firmer than sculpting lingerie. The flat tummy shaping bodysuit is, in fact, one of today’s best-sellers in the shapewear market. Sculpting lingerie, on the other hand, is considered more shaping but less firm. It will redefine certain curves without compressing them. It’s a real way to shape your silhouette. Less firm than shaping and slimming models, sculpting lingerie still provides some support.

➺ Long sleeves or a plunging neckline? The shape of your bodysuit

You should also choose your bodysuit depending on what you want. Do you want support for your arms? Do you want a firm neckline?
Shapewear bodysuits can have long sleeves or straps. They can also feature a deep neckline (perfect for evening dresses with a plunging neckline while still offering good bust support). In short, it’s up to you to decide which style will suit you best. Push-up shapewear bodysuit, long-sleeved shapewear bodysuit, or maybe both?

➺ Bodysuit, bodysuit briefs, bodysuit shorts

The bodysuit is a special piece of shaping lingerie because it slims the figure both on the upper body—chest, torso, arms—and on the lower body by sculpting your hips and butt. It’s truly a valuable addition to your wardrobe.

The shapewear bodysuit reshapes and firms your figure. It helps you look slimmer and more toned. Little curves, bulges, and excess fat are smoothed and compressed. There are several shaping bodysuit styles to choose from:

• the shaping body string,
• the shaping bodysuit,
• Or even the shaping body shorty.

➺ Comfort

Comfort comes first! Shapewear isn’t just about slimming! It’s also comfortable. The fabric is soft and smooth. The pieces are seamless, so they don’t dig in or leave marks.

The bodysuit shapes the body firmly but without squeezing or compressing. Good bodysuit shapewear should rise to the challenge: gentle shaping!
Your shaping bodysuit should be a real pleasure to wear. Opt for a breathable, second-skin effect fabric.
