Firm Control - Provides excellent control and support to problem areas and creates a slimming effect. For shapewear with level three compression, this open-bust shaper feels surprisingly buttery soft and comfortable. It glides on like any other shorts, then can be pulled over the shoulders with adjustable straps. We never had to perform a wiggle dance to get these on — an appreciated detail for something so sculpting. The brand offers one of the widest size ranges going up to 4XL, as well as a petite and regular fit, which rivals Skims. We appreciate that it has multiple adjustable elements, too, to almost give you a customized fit: the shoulder straps and gusset can both be fixed to fit you how you’d like. Instead of buttons, the gusset actually has clasps similar to a bra band, making it significantly more secure, too. However, we did notice that it doesn’t fit plus-size women particularly well. The straight sizes fit true-to-size, but it runs small once it reaches past an XL, especially for plus-size folks with particularly wide hips. Of course, it is supposed to fit tightly, due to the compression, it wouldn’t even slide on the plus-size editor who tested it out. Keep this in mind when choosing what size you think would fit you best.

This tank style top is available in every degree of control from light to firm and is an ideal way to smooth bulges especially at the waist.Can make your bum appear fuller (as your waist appears more cinched). Shapewear can also be great for your bum – if you use a tummy cincher or waist-control shapewear, your waist will appear smaller, and your bum will appear larger by comparison. The support through the stomach band was an ideal amount—it had a nice smoothing appearance without feeling like we were wrapped in a sausage casing. The rip-resistant fabric also earned a 4.9/5 for durability. We tried nails, velcro, and jewelry and there wasn’t a tear in sight. A pair of these will last you many seasons, making the price tag worth it. The size chart is a little confusing at first but we found that it was accurate if you follow the height and weight guidelines. Of course, there are a bajillion brands on the market that sell bodysuits and lingerie that'll hold you in allll the right places (*ahem* SKIMS and YITTY being some of the most recent and buzzy additions). Because we live for convenience, though—and assuming y'all do too—we've made it easy to sift through everything by dropping only the best shapewear pieces below.

A belted, tea-length dress with a belt can give you a great silhouette, no matter your size. Plus, you can have fun choosing light, fun colors and adorable details. Tummy-flattening pants– these are typically just like regular pants, but high waisted with extra control over the tummy area. Not only was the cup size correct, but the extra strong compression made her figure look more toned. The tightness makes it a little difficult to slip in and out of at first, though, which initially turned us off a bit to the piece, but once we had it on, though, we found it to be surprisingly comfortable. It also stays in place all day, and we didn’t tug at it constantly. We also liked the elastic around the leg holes to keep the hemline in place, which helped the briefs fit to not ride up as we wore it. Unfortunately, trips to the restroom will require some extra effort because there are no clasps or openings at the gusset for easy access. You will be required to undress from the top down to use the bathroom. This is a popular level, especially for everyday, all-day wear, because, as the name suggests, it gives a slight degree of support so it doesn’t squeeze you very much. Popular selections for this includes camisoles, bodysuits, thigh shapers, waist shapers, and even panties.I've seen others listed on blogs and articles, but either discontinued now (articles from a year ago or more) or only in the US.
