When purchasing shapewear, it is essential to visit a specialty counter. Have a lingerie consultant take on-site measurements of your body’s various circumferences directly against your skin (not over outer clothing), and select and try on different undergarments based on your specific body characteristics until you find the best fit. Therefore, the professionalism of the lingerie consultant is crucial. Do not use previous body measurement data to buy underwear, as your body shape is not constant. Similarly, do not use measurement data from one brand to buy shapewear from another, as different brands may use different measurement methods and sizing standards.
When choosing fabrics, you must select those with good breathability. For shapewear with flexible boning support, make sure the boning is soft and elastic; otherwise, movement will be very uncomfortable while wearing it.
Quality Standards
Currently, the market is flooded with off-brand shapewear, where both fabric and workmanship are often subpar. Prolonged wear close to the body can have negative impacts on your health. When choosing shapewear, pay special attention: sensitive areas must be made of pure cotton.
