If you are a Shapewear virgin or a hater, then you have landed up at the right post. I had my own hits and misses with body shapers but I didn’t give up until I found the right one for me. This post addresses a lot of questions like which size to buy, how to wear a waist cincher, which style works with which outfit, how comfortable or uncomfortable are they, etc. etc. As for the slimming effect, it’s quite noticeable. I wanted to put my before and after pics here but I'm not a pro. So now let’s start with the thing you should know.
1. If it’s your first time, talk to their rep on whatsapp. If you send her your full photo, she will use the picture you send to her to pick the right size for you. Luckily, after you receive it, if it does not fit they will exchange it within 3 days of your receiving it.
2. It's a common misconception that going smaller on your size will result in a flatter tummy very fast. You want to be careful not to overdo anything in this life. You need the perfect size for you. The high compression will make you uncomfortable all night and boy don’t you ask what happens if you indulge in that sinful dessert.
Similarly, if you go a size bigger then you won’t have the desired effect. Check the size tags. I’m generally a size S or M depending on the brand and I got size M for me which fits me perfectly. And now I have moved to a size S because my belly fat has finally reduced.
3. One Shapewear won’t go with all of your Dresses
No girl. You need to build your body shaper wardrobe just like you build your bra wardrobe. A separate style to go with every outfit. Every bodysuit targets a set of areas. Some are meant just for the tummy while others work on thighs, butt, etc.
4. Don’t over eat
Like I said, we all need to learn not to overdo anything in life. That one is another topic for another day. Well this one is for petite girls like me. My tummy sticks out as soon as I have starters. Forget the main course. So while wearing a body shaper make sure you don’t over eat. I know. Sigh. Or just take off that thing! That's also the purpose of it all. To control excessive eating.
5. How to wear a waist cincher
Alright let me confess something. The first time I tried wearing one was a battle in itself. Sweat, scratches, heavy breathing..yep. Then I begged by friend to help me put it on. After that to be honest, it really got comfortable and I was able to do it myself the next day.
5. I love whatsapp
I have been buying different ones from different stores but when Slim Girl came into Nigeria, remember that whatsapp thing I was telling you? I sent them my picture and they helped me pick my size. Simple. Later I started ordering online and had some more questions and I got it instantly from reps and from their website (www.slimgirl.ng) I honestly have no complaint so far.
Look sleek in whatever you wear by slipping into one of these innovative styles.
You can get a waist cincher and their cinch leggings like me or try out the butt lifter (thank God I am gifted in that area). But those of you who are not, I have seen pictures of them and they seem like they will work too.
