Shapewear bodysuit: how to choose the right size?

Louloucup isn’t just a period underwear brand—it’s also, more recently, a shapewear brand offering a collection of high-quality shaping lingerie. We wanted to give our customers a safe, quality alternative to the shapewear flooding the market.

On the blog, we've already talked about eco-friendly shapewear, self-confidence, and how to make your shapewear last. Bodysuits, panties, briefs, or shorts—these new sculpting lingerie pieces are all the rage and super trendy!

Today, we’re sharing all the best tips for choosing the right size shapewear bodysuit!

How do you choose the right shapewear bodysuit and size?

Available in black, beige, brown, or white, with straps or long sleeves, as briefs, shorty, or thong, the shapewear bodysuit comes in many cuts and styles. Beyond size, it’s important to know how to choose the right one.

A slimming bodysuit for your body type

We’ve already helped you find the right shaping bodysuit for your body type as well as your needs and expectations. Remember:

  • If you’re self-conscious about your arms, go for a long-sleeve bodysuit—it’ll help slim that area.
  • If you want a beautiful bust, don't hesitate to choose a sculpting bodysuit with a low neckline and straps to highlight this area;
  • if you want to feel sexy, go for a string bodysuit;
  • If you want to slim your hips and smooth out love handles, go for the shaping body shorty.
  • if your main goal is a flat stomach, then the shaping bodysuit is for you!

In short, the style of your bodysuit (thong bodysuit, shorty bodysuit, classic bodysuit, long-sleeve bodysuit, etc.) matters when targeting the areas of your body you want to reshape.

A shaping bodysuit in your size

And what about your bodysuit size? How do you choose? Is it complicated?

At first, picking the right size when buying shapewear might seem tricky, but it’s actually pretty simple. At Louloucup, we’ve always said it: it’s important to always choose your true size.

There’s no need to size up or down. Some people might be tempted to size down for a stronger shaping effect. It’s tempting, but it’s not a good idea. Shapewear is already very firm, so you don’t need to size down to get even more sculpting. In fact, doing so would make the experience negative and really uncomfortable.

On the other hand, some women are tempted to order their shapewear or shaping products a size up because they’re afraid it won’t fit. Shapewear (just like shaping panties, shorts, or shaping shorts) looks small at first glance, and that can be intimidating. But don’t forget the most important thing about shaping lingerie: it’s very stretchy!

So, if you want to buy a slimming bodysuit, get it in your usual size. One last tip: take the time to read the brand’s recommendations. They can give you advice on how to pick the right size bodysuit based on your bust measurement and your usual bra size.
