Seamless shapewear

This type of lingerie can be worn freely under tight-fitting dresses, pencil skirts and blouses. It will not show through under the clothes due to the lack of seams, but at the same time it will be able to provide a truly high-quality result in terms of tightening the figure.

Bodysuit

The corrective bodysuit resembles a closed type of swimsuit, only sometimes it has an additional cutout in the chest area, which allows you to wear a bra under it. The corrective bodysuit is suitable for women with a problematic abdominal area and a poorly defined waist. It will also lift your breasts, making them appear firmer. Bodysuits can be worn under shorts and T-shirts, jeans and leggings, turtlenecks, sweaters and dresses.

But remember that dresses (if the bodysuit is not a seamless type) should be selected from dense fabrics.

High waist shorts

The model is suitable for women suffering from problem areas of the pelvis, hips and abdomen. Shorts are suitable only for jeans, leggings, trousers, and as a top, you need to select things that will have the optimal length in order to close the too high top of the product, which tightens the tummy.

Corrective panties

This type of linen has almost the same properties as the one described above, only its range of action is slightly limited. But under such a model, you can wear short shorts and mini-skirts.

Bra
