The shapewear bodysuit from Finn Design took third place in our comprehensive test, but was able to prevail as the best shapewear body. This is primarily due to the fact that it comes from a small, innovative Brand from Germany comes from, which manufactures its products in Europe.

There are many different items of this shapewear on the market. From shapewear belly to shapewear body to simple shape underwear. The overview is quickly lost here and a few questions arise. How do you combine and wear the underwear correctly? What should be considered when sizing and buying? Here is the information that is important.

Triumph Shapewear Body

The third shapewear body from our shapewear body test is also made of comfortable microfiber and is comfortable to wear, but should be washed by hand to enjoy this product for a long time. However, this is only a recommendation. It is probably also no problem if the bodice body is washed gently and at a low temperature in the machine. However, the company does not provide any guarantee in this case. It is available in black, white, ivory, and skin color. The shapewear body has a very good fit and does what it promises. The stomach appears flatter and the chest is beautifully shaped. Still, it is very comfortable and lightweight without pinching. The skin compatibility of this underwire body has also been tested. The innovative technology, which makes the bodice absolutely seamless, ensures that it is absolutely invisible even under tight clothing. The special effect of this shapewear body tightens the stomach and hips and perfectly shapes the butt. This makes it easy and quick to get your silhouette into shape and also feel absolutely comfortable and not constricted all day long. This shapewear body also has a good price-performance ratio. It is definitely figure-shaping and of good quality, but still ensures a comfortable fit.

Maidenform hi-waist bodice pants

Panties are, as is well known, a type of underwear. So the first model in our corset pants test is corset pants, the type of shapewear pants. The well-thought-out cut and the high-quality fabric made of 64% polyamide and 36% elastane achieve good abdominal retouching. This is achieved with the extra high cut. These bodice pants/shapewear pants have a comfortable fit for maximum comfort and a perfect fit thanks to the use of soft microfiber fabric and make for a pleasant question feeling. These are nice and lightweight bodice pants that do not curl up. The workmanship and quality are good and meet the requirements of abdominal retouching. The price/performance ratio is also absolutely good and reasonable. The microfiber fabric also provides a pleasant feeling on the skin and is virtually invisible under normal clothing. These bodice do not create a feeling of pressure, i.e. squeezing, and do not pinch (even if you wear them all day). I can only recommend these tummy loss pants from Maidenform.

Can anyone wear shapewear?

Not every woman has the perfect figure, which is why women in size 36 also like to wear shapewear. This is perfect for concealing one or the other cushion or making unevenness disappear. Lingerie helps to get the right figure, especially under tight-fitting dresses or skirts. However, shapewear does not always have to be highly sculptural, as experience shows

Good to know

Find the right size at Shapewear Bauch & Co.

The best shapewear should definitely be bought in the right clothing size. Definitely not a size smaller! The smaller size doesn't have a bigger effect. On the contrary, it can cause redness on the skin or even pressure pain. Therefore, it is better to use corsetry such as corset pants in the usual size. You can even wear normal underwear comfortably underneath.

7.

SLEEX bodice dress

There are different levels of shaping

Shapewear is available in different shape levels for every figure type and shapes according to individual ideas and needs. From light to medium to strong shaping, the grades can be found in stores. The material used varies greatly in the individual levels. A slight shaping effect is achieved by using a less sturdy material, e.g. in the form of an undershirt. Briefs usually reach a medium level of shaping. In other words, only small problem areas are formed. Strong shaping, on the other hand, means a stronger material that actually has a shaping effect. This is achieved, for example, with a shapewear body or panties. Shapewear with a high elastane content further optimizes the shaping effect. Perfect for shapewear belly products that should cover up one or the other pillow.

More tips and tricks

Under figure-hugging clothing, opt for seamless underwear for the shapewear belly. This has two significant advantages. On the one hand, Shape underwear fits more comfortably and, on the other hand, it doesn't show off underneath. Another trick for putting on tight laundry: Always from bottom to top for the perfect fit. This also results in better toning of the stomach or butt. Always get in with your feet first and then slowly pull or roll up.

SURE YOU LIKE bodice pants

These tummy pants from SURE YOU LIKE have an extra high waistband and gave me a firm figure down to below the chest. Even though this brand hasn't been on the German market for too long, it seems to be of very good quality. After a whole day wearing these bodice pants, I still felt good and not squashed. The tummy pants from SURE YOU LIKE are made from 92% polyamide and 8% elastane. Although I would prefer Spanx or Triumph tummy removal pants due to the not extremely high quality workmanship, these pants are great for ladies on a budget. What's also great about these pants is that the waistband doesn't roll up. After many days of extensive testing, I was unable to identify any major deficiencies. A purchase recommendation goes out as a result.

11th

FeelinGirl corset

This corset from FeelinGirl is not only available in different sizes, i.e. from XXS to 6XL, but also in various color combinations. Here you can choose from pure black or black with color accents, such as blue, blue with hole, pink with hole, purple, purple with hole, beige, beige with hole. Last but not least, there is also the FeelinGirl corset in combination with black and profile, with beautiful red ornaments incorporated into the black on each side. You have a high-quality waist brace here. This is also an underbust corset, as it only starts below the chest. When you buy this corset, it is absolutely easy to combine it with a great bra. You'll be amazed at the results. On the front, it has a hook-and-loop closure with three rows. So when you buy this corset, you can make it completely individual. The lining is made from 96 percent cotton and 4 percent spandex. The core is made from 100 percent latex. This means that you have a particularly easy to clean model when you buy this corset. It is recommended to wash the underbust corset only by hand. Then either let it dry lying down, or hang it on a clothes hanger with the loops provided for this purpose. If you want to buy such a corset, calculate your size in it by measuring your waist circumference. Do not measure the circumference of your chest. If you want to lie comfortably on the couch with this underbust corset, it may squeeze you a bit. In this case, it is recommended that you simply take it off, as you want it to be comfortable anyway. All in all, a great model to feel good about.

Where and how to buy the best shapewear

The sought-after shapewear is no longer only found in expensive specialist stores. Cheaper clothing stores and discounters also advertise the best shapewear and shapewear belly products. And this at an unbeatable price. The price itself may be good, only the performance behind it should be right. So it's better to dig a little deeper into your pocket and enjoy the comfort in return. The shapewear should not cut or pinch when worn, otherwise wearing it for a longer period of time can be more than just uncomfortable. The laundry must always sit very well. That is why shapewear should always be tried on. Buying from a specialist shop is not wrong. The right contact person is there to support you and help you make the right choice. This will certainly also help you find the ideal brand.

The trend

Shapewear and tummy pants are becoming increasingly feminine and, above all, trendy. As a result, modern women are becoming increasingly self-confident and can wear tight clothing despite existing problem areas. In addition to the usual elastane material, transparency, embellishments, prints, lace and colors will increasingly be used in the future. While Shape underwear was previously available primarily in nude or black, it will also be available in stronger colors in the future.

The comfort of the best shapewear

Shapewear should always fit snugly to the body, not squeeze, but at the same time not be too loose. It is therefore advisable to try on various models in order to find the most comfortable part for yourself. Don't worry, the laundry is often a bit tighter when worn for the first time. But they increasingly adapt to the body every time they are worn. With or without lingerie — both variants are possible with shapwear. Visually speaking, wearing it on bare skin gives the more beautiful effect. Experience also shows that wearing it without lingerie also guarantees a perfect fit. Fear of laundry slipping is out of place. Just grab shapewear with delicate silicone bands at the end. These prevent slipping and ensure a perfect fit in a very comfortable way. It is possible to damage the fine tights when putting on the shapewear with the silicone cuffs. In this case, it is better to wear a shirt with loose pants instead of the shapewear body.

Classic problem areas such as stomach, legs and buttocks

In this case, wearing sculpting bodice pants is suitable. They shape the natural silhouette and also makes it stand out. Another highlight: The bodice pants can be easily worn under tight clothing.

Good to know

The right wash

Of course, the shapewear can also be washed normally in the washing machine using the mild wash program. However, set the gentle wash at a maximum of 40 degrees and add a little mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener! As a result, the shapewear does not lose its grip and fits correctly in the long term. The shapewear dries well overnight so that it is ready for use again the next day.

Health comes first

The slimming pants, shapewear body or shape underwear should not be worn if you have pre-existing conditions such as thrombosis or respiratory problems. If you still use this special underwear, it can cause discomfort and sweating.

testimonials

Finally, here are a few testimonials from satisfied shapewear belly wearers.
The first review shows that the silhouette looks a bit slimmer and looks firmer overall. With the shapewear belly “buffs”, nothing is guaranteed anymore. The bodice pants in the second review also have a strong shaping effect. The best shapewear doesn't even have to be that expensive. Simply gain personal experience and try out different variants until you find the right and best shapewear model.
