This movement stretches the shapewear to fit your body and helps it to smooth out your skin.

Don’t stretch for longer than 30 minutes in your shapewear and avoid working up a sweat. Shapewear is not good activewear since it compresses your breathing. To do a butterfly stretch, sit with your knees facing outward and pull your feet in towards your body. Bend your torso forward slightly to feel a stretch in your hips and groin.

Never twist or wring out your shapewear, or you could damage the fibers.

Some retail stores have sales representatives who can help you pick out your size if you aren’t sure.

Shapewear is designed to feel slightly uncomfortable, but if it is unbearably tight, it is probably too small.

Shapewear that is uncomfortably tight doesn’t smooth as well and won’t shape your body correctly.

Wearing shapewear every day can lead to digestive issues and breathing difficulties.

Stay hydrated when you wear shapewear by drinking plenty of water whenever you feel thirsty.
