A women's shaping bodysuit can help clothes sit more smoothly and provide support around your tummy, waist, hips, bottom and thighs. But the wrong choice can quickly become uncomfortable. A bodysuit that's too tight may roll up, dig into your shoulders or make going to the loo unnecessarily difficult.
A size S, M or XL can vary between styles and brands. With shapewear, your waist and hip measurements are especially important. Always check the size guide for the specific product. Several product descriptions suggest sizing up if you're between sizes. This helps prevent the fabric from feeling too tight and makes the bodysuit more comfortable to wear.
A seamless shaping bodysuit usually has fewer visible edges under clothing. That doesn't automatically mean it offers firm compression. A light-control bodysuit is suitable for everyday wear, while a style with several shaping zones may offer more support around your tummy, waist and thighs.
Pay attention to the fit around the bust, too. Some styles have a non-compressive bust area with a supportive band. Others feature an underwire or a mesh bust panel. Choose according to what you'll wear over it and the level of support you find comfortable.
A bodysuit with a thong or tanga cut may be less visible under fitted trousers or a dress. A style with longer legs covers more of your upper thighs. Also check the fastening at the gusset. Press studs or hook-and-eye fastenings make the bodysuit easier to put on and take off.
According to their product descriptions, many styles in this selection are designed for hand washing. Bleach, ironing and tumble drying can damage elastic fibres. Always follow the care label on the product you receive.
Nylon usually creates a smooth, durable fabric. Spandex or elastane adds stretch. The styles available are made from nylon and spandex, but the exact proportions vary between options. A higher proportion of elastic fibres doesn't, on its own, tell you everything about comfort or shaping. The knitting technique, lining and placement of shaping zones also play a part.
If you're looking for a comfortable bodysuit to wear under clothes, look for:
A tummy-control bodysuit focuses mainly on your midriff, tummy and waist. A butt-lifting bodysuit often has extra shaping at the back. A mid-thigh style extends down to your upper thighs, helping to create a smoother-looking transition under a skirt or dress.
Don't expect a women's slimming bodysuit to permanently change your body weight. Shapewear temporarily changes the way your clothes fit while you're wearing it. Product descriptions may use terms such as “tummy control” or “butt lifter”; these describe the design and don't indicate a medical or lasting effect.
Check that the style is available in your size and preferred colour. The selected options include XS/S, M/L, XL/XXL, 3XL/4XL and 5XL. Availability may vary by colour. A skin-tone or brown bodysuit is less noticeable under light-coloured clothes, while black is practical under darker outfits.
Why it suits this profile: The lightweight, seamless vest style is practical for everyday wear, the office and days out. The thong cut works well under fitted clothing.
The product description includes a size guide based on waist and hip measurements and recommends sizing up if you're unsure. This helps prevent the bodysuit from feeling unnecessarily tight.
Seamless construction, a press-stud fastening at the gusset and a supportive band beneath the bust, according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: This style combines a built-in underwire bra with adjustable details. It's a good fit for outfits where you'd rather wear fewer separate lingerie pieces.
The removable straps, adjustable back and adjustable gusset fastening give you more ways to customise the fit than a basic style.
Built-in underwire bra, double-layer waist and tummy panels, and sizes from S to 3XL according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: The longer legs also cover your upper thighs. This makes the style a good option under dresses, skirts or trousers when you want a smooth transition.
The adjustable straps and gusset design are made with ease of use in mind. The legs also help avoid an abrupt transition from a waist-length bodysuit to the thigh.
Mid-thigh coverage, a seamless design and, according to the product information, shaping for your tummy, bottom and thighs.
We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
A bodysuit should shape your figure without causing pain, tingling or restricting your movement. If it does, choose a larger size or a style with lighter control.
Its lifespan depends on how often you wear it, how often you wash it, the heat it's exposed to and how much you pull at the fabric when putting it on. Hand washing, cold water and drying it flat help preserve its stretch for longer. Replace the bodysuit if the fabric stays stretched out, the fastening no longer works properly or the shaping zones sit unevenly.
That depends on the fit and level of control. A light-control, stretchy style may be more suitable for everyday wear than a very tight one. Your bodysuit shouldn't dig in or restrict your movement. If you're wearing it for a long time, you could alternate it with regular lingerie.
That depends on the fabric, garment and fit. A seamless design and the right size help reduce visible lines. Under thin or very tight clothing, any shaping seam may still show. In these situations, a thong style may be less visible than one with full briefs.
