Thigh Shape Wear - Everything You Need To Know

  The Thigh Shape Wear Styles At A Glance

• Control Shorts - from waist to mid-thigh coverage
  

• Shapewear Bodysuit - from bra to mid-thigh and lower coverage
  

• Long Leg Shapewear - from waist to mid-calf and lower coverage
  

• Shapewear Slip - from top to mid-thigh coverage
  

Light support options are also great at minimizing bounce and jiggling as you go about your day. Here are a few tips to keep in mind -

• Smooth, seamless styles with laser cut edges are one of the best ways to prevent VPL (visible panty lines) for an almost invisible profile.

• A wider hem with silicone grippers along the inner edges of the shorts will help to minimize roll-up, and ensure that everything remains comfortably in place under your clothes.

• Want additional tummy support? Check out a high-waisted style (with a build-in control panel) that extends higher than the natural waistline for a flatter and smoother middle.

Mid to longer length legs shape the hips and thighs beautifully, making it a great “set it and forget it” thigh slimming favorite. Here are some helpful tips -

• Looking for something a little more flexible that you can wear with your strapless and sleeveless dresses and tops? Opt for a strapless shapewear bodysuit. With convertible straps it can be worn with a multitude of flowing and curve hugging styles, and is super versatile.

• Thigh shape wear styles with rear shaping control panels provide additional support and lift to bumpy or shapeless bottoms.

• An overlapping crotch or snap closure allows for easier bathroom breaks.

• Lightweight nylon / Spandex fabrics offer better support while keeping you cool and comfortable for the summer months and hotter climates

Want a style that boosts and adjusts your bottom without padding? Look for panties with a shaper panel that lifts and supports.

Leg shapers can be worn under longer skirts and dresses, pants (slacks), and leggings. Things to keep in mind with leg shapers -

• For slimmer waist and smoother lines, look for high-waisted styles with an easy-fitting hidden band.

• Laser cut edges with silicone along the inner hem ensure a virtually invisible look and smoother fit that stays in place.

• Styles with a center seam along the back of the panty offer an easy curve hugging fit.

• Capri (mid-calf) and longer length shapers are more comfortable in softer lightweight nylon spandex blend fabrics for all day wear.

• Looking for something warmer for winter? Longer leg styles are great as a liner to keep warm during the colder months.

• Light weight styles tend to tone, but do not minimize; whereas firm and extra-firm control options with compression technology are more vigorous in sculpting and slimming the hips and highs.

Lightweight and perfect for everyday (and spring and summer) wear - when serious slimming is not the goal – half slip shapewear styles are excellent for smoothing lines and bumps, and minimizing jiggle. Here's what to keep in mind -

• Soft knit fabrics with four way stretch are more comfortable for all-day wear.

• A silicone gripper along the inner edge of the hem helps keep the slip in place.

• For slips with attached panties – a cotton crotch lining is more comfortable.

• Not sure which colors work best? Go for the colors and shades that are closest to your natural skin tone – you’ll be able to wear them under sheer fabrics without worrying about show-through.
