When shopping for a shaper, girdle or other garment meant to slim your figure you need to think about compression. Simply stated compression is the amount of pressure applied to your body, generally in specific areas, to target that area for shaping or slimming. Many products claim to have a slimming effect and while that may be true you will find that the more compression you require the more likely it is that latex or rubber will be used as it has less give, thus more compression. Unfortunately the more compression you desire the heavier and more confining the garment must become. Generally you will not find a light and airy shaper that provides maximum compression. So when you are looking for a shaper that will shape areas of accumulated fat consider how much compression the garment has. Low or medium compression garments are often made from natural fabrics and some spandex. Women who only want to hold in a minor problem area or want a silhouette that does not have bulges or specific areas handled will do well with a medium compression garment. Strong compression is a garment that is usually made with elastane, nylon, and often latex rubber. The latex has shape memory and significant elasticity thus it is used in strong compression garments. Strong compression and other terms that manufacturers use is simply a signal that the garment is intended to restrict a woman's problem areas and the garment will likely cause a woman to get warm or hot as the latex is not a natural fabric and thus does not breathe. If you feel you really need some help in shaping your body then a strong compression or something comparable is what you need.

Dual compression is a term used to describe a shaper that contains both medium and strong compression for the sake of comfort. Purchase a dual compression garment when you want a shaper that focuses on one or perhaps two problem areas with strong compression but also provides medium compression in other areas for the sake of a smooth, shaped look and feel. It does no good to shape a problem area only to have that area migrate to an adjacent area of your body.

Shapewear is the newer term for garments that were often referred to as foundations, girdles and such. Someone decided that girdles doesn't sound as soothing as shapewear thus a new term was born. Many, many women need and want to wear shapewear, some for a little problem under the tighest dresses or gowns while others want and need more support in certain areas. Other women want a full length garment that goes from the knees to the bust. Take you time when choosing a foundation garment or shapewear to meet your specific needs. If you have never worn shapewear before you will be amazed at how good it makes you look and feel. Gone are those stubborn areas of accumulated fat that cause you to look unsightly in a clingy dress as your bra straps or panty line or other undergarments are not hidden. The shapewear solves these problems and gives you renewed confidence in your appearance. Whether you think you are overweight or not shapewear is for you. Your appearance is so important as it says so much about you so why not look and feel your best?
