Product Information

It did require some patience and practice to use – holding it open during the duration of our business – but it was much preferred over undressing completely. We had rather mixed feelings about this, as it took some patience and practice to use the opening flaps. The semi-invisible criss-cross bandaging around the waist tucks in the belly nicely without constricting it.

From waist to thighs, you’ll find no seams closing out the ends, but rather raw-cut edges without elastic, trim, or taping to deliver a smooth finish.We tried on many shapewear, but this one provided one of the most noticeable visual changes to our bodies. The number one rule in choosing the right shapewear for you, as Palep explains it, is to “not go tighter than your size in hope of ‘extra shaping. We would wear this bodysuit casually underneath our clothing, rather than waiting for a special occasion to pull it out.

What We Don’t Love: While the top portion is impossible to spot under clothes, you can see the seams of the bottoms if worn with leggings or very tight pants. Similar to the low-back piece from Spanx, it offers an additional clasp to the built-in bra band for a more firming effect. Made of lightweight and breathable materials, like nylon and spandex, we felt comfortable keeping them on for an entire day without ever feeling restricted (or overheated, for that matter).Try going for Shapermint’s tank tops and camis that secretly contour and keep everything under control from the waist up.

Tight shapewear might not be comfortable enough for everyday wear, but shorts that simply work to smooth out bumps can be worn daily. Put simply: InStyle picks are products we love, and we've put them to the test to be sure you will too.

The aim of shapewear is to “make you feel more confident in whatever you wear,” says Palep, not restrict you in any way. Sapna Palep, CEO of lingerie brand Journelle, explains that shapewear should “hold you in, add coverage and support or smooth you out. Similarly, high-rise thongs or shaping briefs can serve as a confidence boost beneath thin or body-skimming fabrics. These mid-rise tights do go back the belly button, however they might be a tricky fit for our tall friends—the shaping means they have less stretch to accommodate different heights. What’s more, certain seamless or shaping bodysuits are quite versatile – you can style many designs with trousers, skirts, or shorts instead of a tank top or blouse.
