Target areas: tummy, sides, rear, hips, bust

Bodysuits

Also known as “all-in-ones”, “body shapers”, or “bodybriefers,” bodysuits are fabulous one-stop solutions for all of your shapewear needs. Providing support for the bust, and control for the midriff, tummy, hips, backside, and sometimes the thighs, this silhouette can take the place of as many as three garments from your dresser drawer.

Target areas: tummy, hips, rear

Briefs & Thongs

Briefs and thongs provide the easiest way to smooth, control, shape, or transform your tummy, hips, and backside. High-waist versions will also eliminate any muffin top, while padded and rear-lifting versions can enhance your derriere. Some styles of shaping briefs are even comfortable enough to be worn every day in place of panties!

Target areas: thighs, hips, rear, tummy, sides

Shorts

Shaping shorts and thigh slimmers (sometimes known as “long legs”) comprise a wide variety of garments that provide smoothing, controlling, shaping, or transformational solutions for the lower torso. Shaping shorts come in a variety of leg lengths, including boyshort, mid-thigh, and thigh slimmer (long leg).
