Best Shapewear for Tummy – 2018 Reviews and Top Picks

How to choose best Shape wear for tummy

In case have not yet unlocked a miracle called ‘Shape wear’, then you need to get ready to rock your world. It is similar to getting yourself ironed and smoothed from all the lumps you ever had. In today’s terms, it seems like breathing, living in a photo shopped or modified 3-D body. It is a known fact that celebrities, most of them wear shapewear, especially over the famous red carpet.

Shapewear works really well and personally I'm limiting myself from overselling this product. However, we are discussing ‘Shapewear’ that has made the Spanx founder Ms. Sara Blakely a female billionaire, who is self-made and known to be the world's youngest of the respective category.

The wonder garments are such an awesome genre with only one simple concern of having an endless parade of fabrics and styles. So, what are the tips of choosing the perfect one that would work well for your wardrobe and body? Below mentioned are some pointers that will guide you to select your perfect shapewear:

1. STAND BY YOUR SIZE ALWAYS

As per Ms. Sophia-Banks Coloma, she says "Women at times go and try a size lower for achieving additional firmness". She is a stylist who is L.A. (Los Angeles) based and has styled a bunch of celebrities. To name a few would be Mischa Barton and Michelle Rodriguez. The idea of going a size lower only leads to discomfort and bulges; it could also "portray you as bigger," as per the stylist, Ms. Sophia-Banks Coloma. You need to sit down as well as walk about once you wear your size as this will confirm that you really do feel comfortable in the piece and it stays in one place too.

2. SELECT A RANGE BETWEEN MEDIUM CONSTRICTIONS AND SMOOTH LINES, FOR COMPLETE FIGURE TRANSFORMATION

Check the tag, if you don’t find any listed performance level, then check the label on the clothing. Note that a higher nylon content means there will be greater alteration by the garment into your body shape. Also, you will be able to gain a sense by the feel of the fabric of its shaping level. In case the fabric easily slips over your fingers and is lightweight then it is probably designed to smoothen focused points of your body figure. Pieces which are heavier are generally armed along with zones of compression which will tuck and suck in order to shape your body.

3. FOR SMOOTH LINES YOU NEED TO HIGH-WAIST IT OVER YOUR TORSO

Check up for versions which go to your line of the bra.Additionally, for security, the products called the SpanxBody Briefer ‘Slim-Cognito Shaping (Mid-Thigh)’ get hooked to the bra preventing it from slipping downwards.

4. LEGS TO BE TONED WITH THE HELP OF TIGHTS HAVING IN-BUILT SHAPEWEAR

There is a primary concern of wearing tights on top of shapewear that is you end up putting the Nylon blends near each other. This will cause shifting of your tights to one side. Then secondly, it creates one additional layer in the region of the thigh which could possibly lead to seams showing from your street clothes.

5. CHOOSE A COMPLETE BODYSUIT FOR OVERALL SHAPING

A bodysuit is known to create a streamlined shape from head-to-toe. This saves you from the trouble to search for the separate bottom and top pieces which work. The over-all coverage serves as a plus point for women, especially those who wish to reduce a bigger chest. It does a good chest-flattening job similar to a lot of sports bras available. Although, if this does not very well go for your body type, then bodysuits such as Body Shaper called TC 'Torsette' which cut throughout your bust allow the bra to provide support to the chest. Also, there are styles such as the Slimming Bodysuit called ‘*Spanx’ 'Boostie-Yay' inclusive of Bra Top which come along with an inbuilt bra.

6. WISH TO SHAPE UP YOUR BUTT WITHOUT ABOLISHING IT? SHAPEWEAR IS THERE FOR THE SAME

Shorts is only worth trying if you wish to shape up your rear without erasing it. Similar to the bra, it uplifts as well as separates the cheeks in order to showcase your complete bottom. It also ends up flattening your stomach by smoothing out the love handles during the flattening process.

7. CHECK OUT FOR SHAPEWEAR THAT IS COTTON-BLEND WHICH IS COOL FOR YOU

Typically ‘Shapewear’ is designed with spandex and nylon, these both are synthetic fabrics which don't breathe at all. This feature is great only in cooler climates, which is where you would want to keep as much heat of your body as you can. However, in warmer months you sweat. Fortunately, many brands end up selling summer shapewear with lighter ones of the original product that are designed using breath-ability as its feature.

8. CHOOSE STYLES WHICH IMPROVE THE SHAPE OF YOUR BODY

All of us largely fall into any 1 of the categories or templates below. Each body type possesses a specific shape wear style which perfectly suits us.

Apple-Shaped

Women that are V-shaped (or an inverted triangle) or Apple-shaped have a relatively heavier body in the upper region with a brief torso and narrow hips.

A camisole that is shaping is ideal to buy in case you are one of these types. This camisole will not only smoothen out your love handles and get your bust compressed but will subsequently offer you an illusion of having a long torso.

Pear-Shaped

Women with a pear-shaped body, as per its name possess significantly broad hips while their measurements of the waist are slightly lesser compared to their measurements of the bust. Alternatively, this type also is called the triangle-shaped.

For women having this body type, a thigh-shaper does wonders. This targets the rear,the thighs, love handles and muffin tops. This helps you to achieve your dream of having a slimmer appearance.

Hourglass-Shaped

A woman possessing the hourglass-shaped body has the hip and bust measurements which approximately correspond with one another along with a waist that is cinched – isn’t this enviable? Women with this body type tend to gain weight all over evenly while the areas of the problem are saddlebags and lower belly.

For women with this body type, a bodysuit that is a shaping type is an apt style. This will offer an invisible lift and smoothening thereby allowing you to feel much more confident!

Ruler-Shaped

Women with a ruler-shaped (or alternatively called athletic/rectangle) body possess almost similar hip, bust and waist measurements. In general, straight-bodied women who conform to this type of shape, usually don’t gather weight upon their sides, compared to their back and front i.e. the butt and the belly.

A brief that is high-rise, is rear enhancing and works well for whole-day-long shaping. You can tuck in the tummy along with giving the rear part an enviable uplift. This sits on the natural waist as well as smoothens out the muffin top too. It is an invisible companion and is perfect for wearing all day long.
