Shapewear that’s also eco-friendly—it’s possible

How is slimming lingerie eco-friendly? Look for brands that are genuinely committed to the planet. More and more brands are making efforts these days. How? In several ways. It might be where the product is made, prioritizing local manufacturing. It could be the choice of transportation, favoring ground over air (which is much more polluting). Most importantly, it often comes down to the materials used in making these undergarments. Organic cotton, plant fibers, and organic bamboo are especially popular choices.

Some brands prefer to upcycle. A certain percentage of your shaping underwear may come from older clothing. It’s recycled and given new value. By using already existing materials, we avoid overconsumption and overproduction. It’s more ethical, more responsible, and more eco-friendly.

Shapewear that stands the test of time

Shapewear that’s slimming and sculpting for the long term? It’s possible if you use the right techniques and take care of these special garments.

Shaping underwear like panties, bodysuits, bodysuit shapers, panties, or shorts are ultra-firm undergarments made from lycra, lace, latex, or tulle. These technical fabrics are both firm and elastic, and of excellent quality. To keep their slimming and shaping properties as long as possible, gentle, personalized care is highly recommended.

Rinse with cold water, hand wash, use a gentle or neutral detergent, air dry—knowing the right care steps is very helpful before buying your first pieces of shapewear lingerie.

To take care of your shaping panties (and all your shaping and slimming underwear), check out all our tips and tricks.
