The different cuts of shaping bodysuits

To make the right choice and buy the shaping bodysuit best suited to your body type, your profile and your shape, you need to ask yourself the right questions. What do you expect from a shapewear bodysuit?

There are different types of women’s bodysuits. Here are the most common ones:

  1. The long-sleeved bodysuit,
  2. The shaping bodysuit with straps,
  3. The slimming shapewear body,
  4. The shaping thong bodysuit,
  5. The shaping brief bodysuit,
  6. The shaping body shorty.

✤ The long-sleeve bodysuit for slimmer-looking arms

Not a fan of your arms? This part of the body is a real concern for many women. Lack of tone, fat storage—this area is often on display. A long-sleeved shaping bodysuit helps firm and sculpt the upper body and bust.

Key takeaway: a long-sleeved bodysuit is perfect for women who want to shape their upper body. It smooths the skin and feels great to wear.

✤ The sculpting strappy bodysuit for a perfectly controlled plunging neckline

A straight, supported, toned and reshaped torso, a lifted, firm neckline, a harmonious, feminine bust – the sculpting push-up strap bodysuit works wonders!

To remember: the sculpting bodysuit with straps and plunging neckline is ideal for women who want to highlight their bust. We also recommend it for specific outfits: a cocktail dress, an evening gown or a wedding – any special occasion when you want to look your absolute best! One tip: the depth of the neckline here is important and should flatter you. A bodysuit with a built-in bra? A very good idea!

✤ The shaping bodysuit for a flat tummy

Is a slimming-effect shaping bodysuit really possible? This piece of shapewear has the advantage of covering the entire abdominal area. The dense, highly elastic fabrics help smooth tummy bulges and create an instant slimming effect on this part of the body that’s so often scrutinised and picked apart!

To remember: the invisible flat-tummy shaping bodysuit reshapes the waist and stomach and smooths this area. It’s perfect for any woman who feels self-conscious about her tummy, especially the lower belly (that stubborn bulge that’s so hard to get rid of at the gym!). You can also opt for flat-tummy panties to look slimmer. This type of design provides the support needed for fuller busts and lets you wear dresses with a deep neckline.

✤ The shaping thong bodysuit

You want support without sacrificing your femininity? That’s right, 2024 shapewear lingerie is a far cry from grandma’s girdles! Today’s shaping lingerie is both effective AND sexy. Sheer panels, lace, sexy cuts—no compromise between support and style! There are shaping bodysuits that are both firm and sexy! Try a shaping thong bodysuit or a high‑cut thong bodysuit that sculpts your figure, for example—you won’t be disappointed.

To remember: the shaping thong bodysuit is perfect for women who want to redefine their silhouette while staying sexy! Another interesting option: the tanga slimming bodysuit! In every case, it’s ultra‑feminine lingerie.

✤ The shaping bodysuit brief

The slimming shaping bodysuit in a brief style is definitely the most classic model you’ll come across. It’s a great choice if you mainly want to sculpt your hips and pelvis. If you feel self-conscious about your love handles, the enveloping brief cut of this bodysuit is particularly suitable.

Key takeaway: the women’s shaping bodysuit in a brief style is ideal if you’re just starting out with shapewear. It’s very easy to wear, invisible under clothing, and comfortable. Interested in shaping panties? Discover our lovely collection of sculpting briefs in sizes from S to XXL.

✤ The shaping shorty bodysuit

Similar to a slimming panty, a bodysuit with a shorty cut is ideal for women looking for support and shaping around the buttocks and saddlebags.

Key takeaway: to tame saddlebags, nothing beats a shaping shorty bodysuit! This firm-control shaping bodysuit is perfect for smoothing the skin, lifting and sculpting the curve of the buttocks, and refining the area where the thighs begin.

Women’s shaping bodysuit: all the benefits

The women’s shaping bodysuit is a key piece of shapewear lingerie. This undergarment (so pretty it can even be worn as outerwear) provides support and reshapes the arms, bust, waist, tummy, hips and buttocks! It’s truly an essential piece if you’re looking for full-support lingerie.

The bodysuit has many advantages:

  1. It’s completely discreet (shapewear lingerie is invisible under clothing),
  2. It’s ultra‑soft and super comfortable,
  3. It shapes the body, sculpts it without compressing or squeezing,
  4. It’s a sexy piece of underwear that makes you feel genuinely good and irresistible.
