✦ Shaping lingerie or shapewear: panties for a flat tummy

Shapewear has been shaking things up for a few years now. With shapewear lingerie or control lingerie, girdles have never been so on-trend! Shapewear underwear provides incredible, all-over support. It sculpts, shapes, and redefines the body, curves, and silhouette.



Women’s shapewear enhances natural beauty and helps you feel better in your own skin by cleverly smoothing out little insecurities that can really weigh you down: slightly too-generous love handles, a lower belly roll, thick thighs, a waist that’s not as defined as you’d like, and so on.

       🌸 5 tips for wearing shapewear

Shaping underwear comes in many forms. There’s a wide variety of styles to meet the needs and expectations of every woman:

  • the shaping panty short looks like a high-waisted cycling short;
  • the shaping bodysuit sculpts your entire figure from the knees (or even the ankles) up to the arms;
  • the shaping bodysuit covers the buttocks, hips, stomach, and chest;
  • and of course the shaping brief, which comes in several very different cuts.

✦ The different cuts of a tummy‑control panty

The tummy-control brief smooths your figure and defines your waist. You’ll find different styles of shaping briefs and sculpting panties:

  • the high‑waisted shaping brief;
  • the ultra high-waisted shaping panty;
  • the flat‑tummy shaping shorty or shaping panty;
  • and also more specific **slimming panties**: **postpartum support panties** and **plus‑size shaping panties**.
