3. It enhances your favorite body feature
Whether you want extra attention to your curvy waistline, bust, or bottoms, there is a shapewear dedicated for every body feature. If you want to accentuate your natural curves, go for waist trainers. If you want to give your bust a firmer look, try shapewear bras. If you want to shape your thighs and flatten your tummy, your best bet is shaping shorts.

5. Shapewears boost your confidence
Let’s face it, we all have body insecurities and the way we look affects our confidence.

Shapewears may just be a piece of clothing but it makes a lot of difference to a woman’s confidence. This type of undergarment sculpts our body, helping us achieve the shape and support we want.
How to pick the right shapewears
There are a lot of good shapewears in the market but that doesn’t make it easy for us to find the right one. Truth is, picking the right shapewear is much like choosing the man you’ll marry — it’s tricky. So to help you out, we’ve rounded up a few tips on how you can pick the right shapewear for you.
Find the right fit and stick to your size
One of the myths may women believe when buying shapewears is sizing down for extra firmness. But in reality, the wrong sized shapewear does more harm to you than good. According to WebMD, too-tight shapewear may lead to health problems and can even make you look bigger. That defeats the purpose of shapewears.

Identify the level of compression you want
There are three levels of compression: light, firm, and extra firm. Light compression is designed to smooth out a few bulges and targeted spots on your figure. Firm is more on the middle level that provides enough compression to accentuate your curves and show off your figure. If you want a shapewear that will suck and tuck your body into shape, go for the extra firm compression. They work well under structured clothes like wedding dresses, gowns and cocktail dresses. So to answer the most frequently asked question if shapewears work — yes, they do if you want an instant sculpted body.
Be picky about the materials
With the wide array of shapewears, it’s not surprising that you will see a lot of shapewears in different materials. There are satin, nylon, lace, and athletic fabric. Choose the material that makes you look and feel good underneath. But with the advent of technology where we mostly shop online, it’s really difficult to put trust in brands that claim they have the best collection of shapewears. This leads us to the last point: read reviews.

Read reviews
Sure, shapewear brands tell you they are the best. But if they all say they are the best, then who is telling the truth and who is lying? The key here is to always check reviews before buying a shapewear. This helps you manage your expectations because you’re hearing comments directly from the users. It might take some time and effort to browse through various testimonial pages but we tell you, it’s worth it. Doing this prevents you from letting your money go to waste.
