Bodysuits 101

What is bodysuit shapewear, exactly? The term encompasses a range of options, from a full bodysuit with built-in bust support and a brief-style bottom to thigh-length styles you can wear in tandem with women’s bras & bralettes. Because bodysuits provide shaping properties, you can wear them instead of women’s control underwear.

You’ll also likely find a bodysuit more effective at shaping than control briefs, partly because they cover more of your body and partly because they don’t roll down when you sit or move around. If you choose to put on a sculpting bodysuit, you’ll be in fabulous company, too. Many celebrities wear a women’s body shaper underneath their red carpet dress to ensure a sleek, smooth look while the paparazzi are snapping away for posterity.

How to Pick a Bodysuit

Are you wondering how to find the best bodysuit shaper for you? That depends on the area you want to shape. A brief-back bodysuit with a built-in bra will help lift the bust, slim the tummy, and smooth the derriere. If you want sleek hips and thighs, the best bodysuit will extend down the legs towards the knees.

The type of compression bodysuit you choose is another important factor in your decision. Some styles offer light shaping that’s comfortable for daily wear. Others provide firmer control better suited for formalwear and special occasion dressing. It’s also a good idea to try on your shaping bodysuit with clothes. This way, you’ll be able to ensure there’s no visible panty line or any other unexpected lines that break up the silhouette.
