Shapewear isn’t about hiding your body—it’s about supporting it in ways that make you feel amazing. Whether you’re dressing for a big night out or just want a little everyday support, the right piece of shapewear can enhance your natural shape, smooth common trouble spots, and boost your confidence.
But with so many options out there, how do you choose the perfect shapewear for your needs and make sure it’s actually comfortable? Let’s break it down.
Identify Your Target Area
Different shapewear styles are designed to support different parts of the body. Start by asking yourself: Where would I like a little extra shaping or smoothing?
TUMMY
If you’re focused on smoothing your lower belly, look for high-waisted shapewear with tummy control panels or structured compression zones. These designs help flatten the appearance of the lower abdomen and create a sleeker silhouette—without digging in or rolling down throughout the day.
Try these:

High-Waist Shaper Panties – Breathable and supportive, perfect for everyday smoothing |
Open Bust Shapewear Bodysuit – Smooths your waist, tummy, and thighs with built-in shorts and lets you wear your favorite bra for a personalized fit. |
Scoop Neck Mid-Thigh Bodysuit – Targets the tummy while providing support for the hips and thighs. |
👉 Pro Tip: Always step into shapewear rather than pulling it over your head. It helps keep the compression zones aligned and prevents stretching in the wrong areas.
WAIST
To define or cinch the waist, opt for shapewear with firm midsection control and anti-roll designs. These pieces smooth the waistline and create definition while staying secure—even when you sit, move, or bend.

High-Waist Shaper Shorts – Great for waist smoothing with added hip and thigh coverage. |
Scoop Neck Bodysuit – 360° smoothing from bust to hips with a sleek, seamless design. |
👉 Pro Tip: If your shapewear feels too tight at the waist, size up. Compression should support—not squeeze.
HIPS
When shaping the hips, the key is gradual compression with soft finishes that blend smoothly under clothes. Look for pieces that don’t cut in at the seams and provide subtle lift and contouring.

👉 Pro Tip: Choose styles with seamless edges to avoid visible lines, especially under form-fitting outfits.
THIGHS
For thigh smoothing, look for mid-thigh or longline shorts that offer light-to-medium compression. These designs smooth the outer and inner thighs, reduce friction, and help with chafing.

Dual Function Thigh Protectors (5” or 7”) – Designed to prevent chafing while smoothing the thigh area. |
👉 Pro Tip: Look for silicone grips or bonded hems at the legs to prevent rolling throughout the day.
BACK
Back smoothing is best achieved with bodysuits or shaping camisoles that offer upper and lower back coverage. These pieces create a clean line under clothes and reduce visible bra bulges.
Try these:

|
Scoop Neck Shaping Cami – Great for layering or wearing solo with a smooth, supportive finish. |
Snatched Shapewear Bodysuit – Provides upper and lower back control in a single piece. |
Scoop Neck Mid-Thigh Bodysuit – All-over smoothing with focus on the back and sides. |
👉 Pro Tip: After putting on your shapewear, run your hands along your back and sides to gently smooth out any folds before dressing.
BUST
When it comes to bust shaping, different needs call for different solutions. Whether you're looking to lift, compress, support, or create volume, it's important to choose pieces that align with your goals and your natural shape.
Want lift or volume? Go for bras or bodysuits that offer light contouring or padding.
Want a flatter silhouette? Try layering a shaping cami over a well-fitted bra for control without flattening.
Want wire-free comfort? Choose soft bras with adjustable straps and band support.
Try these:
|
|
|
|
|
Supportive Comfort Wireless Shaping Bra – Soft, wire-free support that gently lifts. |
Throw-On Wireless Bralette – Easy pull-on style with minimal compression. |
Scoop Neck Shaping Cami – Offers bust smoothing and layering versatility. |
👉 Pro Tip: A properly fitting bra helps prevent underarm and back bulges. Make sure the band sits flat and snug, and adjust straps for support without digging.
