Slimming Undergarments

Types of Slimming Undergarments

Today, there’s so much more offered by lingerie companies than the uncomfortable girdles of yesteryear. Materials are modern and made with a woman’s comfort in mind, so while you’re trying to look as if you’ve dropped a few pounds, you can do so without feeling constricted. Look for these types of slimming undergarments to help you look your best:

• Bodysuit: This piece doesn’t cover your entire body, but can incorporate a bra and torso slimmer as well as coverage for your thighs. The smaller piece looks like a one-piece bathing suit and is made to contour your waist and minimize any tummy bulge. If it fits over your thighs, too, it can make your thighs appear skinnier under form-fitting slacks. This is a good item to wear under clingy knit skirts or dresses as it eliminates any unsightly panty lines or bulges.
• Long leg panty or legging: These are great for getting rid of panty lines. Your entire hip and thigh area is encased in a slimming shaper that not only flattens your tummy, but also gives your rear end a lift at the same time. These work well under pencil skirts, knit skirts and slacks.
• High waist briefs: You can minimize your stomach and get support for your back and torso at the same time with these slimming undergarments. Look for high waist briefs that don’t roll down because constantly having to adjust the band can be uncomfortable and annoying.
• Camisoles: You can even buy slimming undergarments for your upper half. Camisoles that promise to make you look trim have a variety of strap options for various shirts. Underwire lifts your bustline while the midriff slimming qualities control your tummy bulge.
• Bra: For all the women who hate how their backs look in form-fitting tops when their “back fat” spills over their bra bands, there are now bras made that eliminate that dreaded problem. Sassybax is one brand that comes in regular and torso length bras. The design allows for a smooth and flattering fit under the tightest tops.
• Pantyhose: While control-top pantyhose have been around for a while, newer technologies make them more comfortable than ever. If you need only slight control, these are a great option that not only minimize your tummy, but also provide the nylon coverage you need.
