How Does Shapewear Work its Magic?

1. Shapewear uses various features to achieve its smoothing and shaping effects:

• Minimal or seam-free garments create a smooth, sleek look under clothes.
• Closed gussets lift your bum for a perky appearance.
• Inner control panels effectively smooth out your tummy.
• High waist shapewear with rigid fabrics offer support and smooth out lines.

2. Tips for Choosing the Best Shapewear:

• True Size Matters: Don't fall for the myth that a smaller size equals slimmer. Choose your regular size for a comfortable and effective fit.
• Fabric and Comfort: Consider the fabric type and constriction level to ensure breathability and comfort throughout the day.
• Match Shapewear to Outfit: Try on your shapewear with the outfit you plan to wear to ensure it provides the desired level of smoothing. Choose a low back shapewear for your backless outfits for a flawless look.
• Comfort is Key: Shapewear shouldn't feel like a restrictive torture device! Choose Triumph's shapewear, designed for all-day comfort.

Choosing the Right Shapewear for You

1. Identify Your Needs:

Different shapewear styles target specific areas. Do you want to focus on your waist, thighs, hips, or bust? Knowing your target areas will help you choose the most suitable shapewear, like a high waist body shape underwear or a bum lift shapewear.

2. Know Your Body Shape:

We all have unique body shapes – hourglass, rectangle, pear, apple, or triangle. Identifying your body shape is crucial for choosing best slimmer for you that flatters your figure. For example, an hourglass figure with a balanced bust and hips but a defined waist would benefit from a waist cincher or high-waisted briefs to accentuate the waistline.

3. Find the Perfect Fit:

Don't squeeze yourself into a smaller size! It will cause discomfort and create unsightly bulges.  A size too large won't provide the desired shaping effect. Refer to our shapewear size guide to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.
