HOW TO USE SHAPEWEAR TO SLIM YOUR BODY

Back in the day in order for a woman to look slimmer, she had to wear a girdle or corset.  Those were basically the only two options women had during that time.  They were so uncomfortable to wear, it was hard to sit down, hard to bend over or to even move!  If you are familiar with that time then you know what I mean.  There are times where you just had to sit down and don't move looking like the Statue of Liberty.  O I don't miss those times!  Well of course times have changed and the invention of shapewear came along, it was like a miracle!  Built in girdles and "suck me ups"! Ahhh!  What a releif!  Now you can buy clothes with a built in spanx.  Most of the time back in the day, most women just wore their girdles on special occassions because of the discomfort.  I mean who could stand like a statue all day everyday! 

Before you go overboard when purchasing your shapewear, because I know you are excited, there are things that you should know when buying.  Don't over do it!  Try to focus on two areas.  For most women it is the stomach and the thighs.  You do not want to focus on thighs, stomach, bust, butt, legs, and so forth!  You will like like a #2 pencil! 

Size it Right.  Shapewear is designed to disguise your bumps not show them.  Go one size smaller than the size you wear.  Picking the right size matters.  You do not want to be uncomfortable.  Try on before you buy if you can and see if it is comfortable for you.  You also do not want to go to big either.

Go for Seamless.  Like I stated in the last paragraph, Shapewear is designed to disguise your bumps.  You also do not want everyone to notice that you have a girdle or "suck me up" on!  If you are wearing shapers that show do not wear see through clothing such as lace.  No one wants to know you have a girdle on.

Handwash for Longer Use.  If you want to maintain the shape of your Shapewear, I suggest you handwash instead of putting in the washing machine.  Handwashing not only maintains the shape of your shapewear, it tends to last a little longer than normal.
