Frequently Asked Questions on Shapewear


Shapewear
What is a Shapewear?
Shapewear is an undergarment designed to enhance the shape of your body, making it look slimmer and smoother. Being worn as an undergarment, shapewear should ideally be invisible under clothes and provide your body with comfort and support. Nowadays, shapewear is also built into body flattering clothing and other fashion e.g. swimwear, jeans, dresses etc.
How do I choose the best Shapewear or Cincher for me?
There are a few steps to figuring out which shapewear or cincher is best for your shape:
  1. How do you want to use the shapewear or product (everyday wear, for a dress up occasion, working out)? The first step to flattering your figure is know how long you will be wearing the product and with what clothes.
  2. Look at the shapewear and cincher pictures to see which items think would fit discreetly under your outfit.
  3. Read the product descriptions and match them to the results you would like to achieve, reduced waistline, raised bustline, slimmer hips, firmer and raised butt.
  4. Order the product that best fits your needs.
How do I know which size to buy?
When purchasing any shapewear product, it is important to find the size that is right for you. Never Size Down. Due to the slimming nature of our garments, picking a size too small will not give you extra shaping, but will cause bulges and discomfort.

If you cannot decide between 2 sizes, feel free to e-mail us at sales.live@healthproductsforyou.com and we will be happy to assist.
Can I wear my Underwear underneath the Shapewear?
Wearing underwear does not interfere with the efficacy of the garment.
Should I wear Shapewear while exercising?
You probably should not wear it whilst exercising as it is meant to contour the body after exercise. It is not really meant as support clothing, although if you had nothing else to hand it could work in an emergency.

If you need additional support while exercising, you would be better off trying specialist sport control tops, strapping and perhaps shape up shoes that are intended for running or exercising. Check out sports sites and major stores for some ideas.
Is it safe to wear Shapewear?
Absolutely! Good quality shapewear is as safe as wearing any other type of quality tight fitting clothing so long as you are wearing the right size. As with all forms of fitness and weight loss, your muscles (which are constantly working while wearing shapewear, and part of what makes shapewear effective) do need time to rest and your skin needs time to breathe. Our vests, cinchers, corsets and girdles are designed to be snug but comfortable even when worn safely and comfortably, up to 8 hours a day.
