JEYODA Fat Burning High Waist Underwear Body Shaping Abdomen Control Shaping Pants

Product Information

With its combination of satin cups and a tantalising centre-front, this figure-hugging body exudes allure from every angle. It's worth mentioning, though, that the thong-shaped back doesn't offer quite as much coverage in that department as others on our list. The criss-cross style seam targets both your upper and lower abdomen, whilst the centre seam to the rear helps lift and tone your bottom too. Even in the most fitted of dresses, the Maidenform bodysuit creates a sleek and seam-free shape from bra line to mid-thigh, with firm control fabric supporting your tummy and waist.

To help you find the best shapewear options for you, we've gathered insights from experienced Mumsnet users who know the ins and outs of shapewear. Due to its firm control, getting it on does require a fair bit of wriggling, but once it’s on reviewers found that it was comfortable, offered full freedom during toilet trips, and was effective at smoothing away lumps and bumps. Transparency is really important to us and that's why we're always upfront about where we find our recommendations. We also looked out for any negative reviews, where Mumsetters highlighted products that they felt were poor quality, ineffective, rolled down or simply failed to create a smoothing effect.Thanks to their high-waisted design, the Spanx Higher Power Shorts target the tummy and prevent any visible ‘muffin top’, as well as shaping and smoothing across your thighs and bottom. We work hard to provide honest and independent advice you can trust and we spend hours scouring the Mumsnet forums and online bestseller lists to find products that real parents rate. First up, we sought out the trusted opinions of Mumsnet users to get their feedback on their favourite shapewear, as well as the brands that they have tried, rated, and would recommend to their friends. In theory very restrictive or tight fitting clothing can cause poor blood circulation which could in turn pose a risk to baby. If you find it’s leaving red marks on your skin or, worse, that it’s hard to breathe properly or eat, you’re in the wrong shapewear.

Due to their design, you may still see a subtle yet visible seam line at the brief when wearing very fitted clothing. Pieces that cover most of your body are often particularly hot as most of your core is covered - you’re essentially adding another layer of clothing. The lace trim makes these shapewear shorts a little more visually pleasing than some traditional shapewear, but it is worth noting that they're not completely seamless. From tummy control to thigh trimming shorts, the best shapewear solutions are comfortable with high-tech fabrics for flexibility and breathability.They make maternity shape wear that supports a bump or which holds in other areas (legs / bum) but non that aim to reduce or restrict the bump. Whilst there is an element of compression, they shouldn't feel restrictive or painful, nor should they leave painful marks on your skin. Made of a blend of nylon and spandex, they’re soft against your skin, moisture-wicking and breathable, so they’re comfortable to wear all day long. However, since then Kim has launched her own shapewear brand, SKIMS, so if you’re a fan you might like to give that a go. Spanx is still definitely the market leader when it comes to Mumsnetters’ favourite shapewear styles.

Made from lightweight cotton, they’re really quite simple to pull on, creating a smooth and seamless silhouette with no visible panty line. Known for their fab range of support and shapewear tights, The Outer Bodysuit from the brand uses advanced technical fabrics to smooth and support your body, claiming to shave up to 5cm off your waist whilst firming and flattening your tummy. The downside of an all-in-one like this is that, obviously, you have to completely take it off to go to the loo, which means taking off whatever you’ve got on top.Whilst maternity and shapewear aren’t necessarily two words you expect to hear together, many mums-to-be find that traditional underwear can be restrictive and uncomfortable as their bump starts to grow. With a traditional brief cut with a higher stretch waistband, these soft and stretchy control briefs are designed to shape and support your tummy and gently flatten muffin tops, while feeling just like regular pants – ideal when you want a little extra coverage to help you feel more comfortable under your clothes but don’t want to feel like you’re wearing scaffolding. Thanks to the all-in-one design with straps, you don’t have to worry about it riding up and down as it will stay securely in place. I also bought some straps to go with them to keep them up as the high-waisted stuff always rolls down on me.

They come with anti-chafing benefits too, helping prevent uncomfortable rubbing or friction between your thighs in warmer weather. When it comes to body contouring and accentuating curves, A-lister Kim Kardashian knows a thing or two and, as such, her shapewear brand SKIMS has been a huge hit since its launch in the UK in 2020. Mumsnetters have certainly put shapewear brands through their paces when dressing up for nights out and special events, with many Mumsnet users sharing experiences (both good and bad) of the shapewear they’ve personally tried and tested. Medium control pants will provide a smooth silhouette but may be less effective at flattening tummy fat.

However, it’s worth noting that this style of shapewear with hook and eye fastening at the front is less ideal for bodycon or fitted dresses as the seams will still be visible. The heat can sometimes contribute to chafing, skin rashes and even UTIs if worn regularly so it’s best to keep your shapewear for high days and holidays. But if you do have the extra pennies, then you won’t regret investing in Heist’s shapewear, like The Outer Body, as recommended above. The wired cups provide an extra boost, ensuring you feel secure and empowered throughout the day or night.
