The pros and cons of shapewear

1、Benefits:

Since most people who need shapewear are obese patients, postpartum women, and some groups that pursue a curvier figure, wearing shapewear is more convenient than other weight loss and body shaping methods such as fitness, exercise, and dieting. It is suitable for people who do not like exercise and can quickly achieve a body shaping effect, but the body shaping effect is difficult to last When you change clothes, the local skin and subcutaneous fat will return to their original shape.

2、Disadvantages:

1.Affects blood circulation: Because the long-term restraining effect of shapewear can easily cause compression of subcutaneous blood vessels, thereby affecting blood circulation. Especially when working long hours without exercise, the lower limbs are not stretched effectively. In addition, the pressure effect of body-shaping clothing can more easily affect blood flow and increase the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis

  1. Squeezing internal organs: The shapewear chosen by some people is more elastic. When the shapewear is worn for a long time, it is easy to squeeze organs such as the kidneys at the waist, the stomach and intestines at the abdomen, and the uterus of women, causing ischemic changes
  2. Affects skin perspiration: Body-shaping clothing adheres tightly to the skin. When the weather is hot or the summer is hot, it can easily affect skin perspiration, cause pore blockage and trigger inflammation.

In addition, friction between the skin and the body-shaping clothes can easily cause skin abrasions, redness and swelling. People with allergic constitutions are also prone to allergic phenomena such as rashes. It is recommended to choose carefully.
