What is meant by shapewear?

Shorts or overalls are best avoided because they will further adjust the hips.

How to choose it correctly?
- First of all, decide what you need shapewear for. What are you going to wear it with? With a special evening dress? Or with business clothes to the office? How long will you be in it? Depending on your goal, select the degree of correction: light, medium or strong.
- Select the areas you would like to correct. And decide whether it will be comfortable for you to be in one-piece shapewear (especially if you plan to wear it all day), or is it better to prefer zonal.
- Choose the type of product that would be most convenient for you. If you have a lot of dresses in your wardrobe, it is better to choose a skirt or shapewear. If you have a limited budget, then it is better to prefer products with bottoms like shorts. They go well with both dresses and trousers.
- Correctly determine the size of the product that you need. Often women in pursuit of slimness choose shapewear a couple of sizes smaller than their size. As a result, it is not worn and lies idle, because it is impossible to walk in it: the woman simply begins to suffocate. Therefore, choose corrective underwear exactly in size, manufacturers take into account the required degree of correction. Correctly determine the size using a centimetre tape, comparing the results with the manufacturer’s size chart.
