Comment choisir le bon short femme forte gainant pour votre morphologie ?

Shaping shorts are an essential accessory for curvy women. They help flatten the stomach, slim the waist and shape the buttocks thanks to their compression effect. You still need to choose the right model adapted to your body shape to enjoy its benefits. Here is our advice.

Size: a key criterion

To comfortably wear shaping shorts, the size of the shorts is an important criterion. The shorts must indeed be tight enough to stay in place, but not too tight to avoid discomfort. To choose the right size, you must take into account your measurements. Namely, your height and your waist size. The choice will then be made by matching your measurements to the appropriate size .

At the same time, you also need to take into account your body type. Shaping shorts can be adapted to your size, but they are not suitable for your body type. Whether you have a well-proportioned H-shaped, round, pyramid-shaped or curvy 8-shaped figure, your shaping shorts must be able to refine your silhouette and highlight your feminine curves. Shaping shorts will allow you to embrace your curves like the big stars including Adele , Kim Kardashian or Beth Ditto .

The H-shaped silhouette is easier to dress despite the balance between the top and the bottom. As long as there is a difference in volume between the stomach and the hips, you need to plan for a well-adapted model so as not to find yourself in unsuitable shorts that will bring more discomfort than benefits. If you had an O-shaped morphology , it would be more appropriate to choose high-waisted shaping shorts that close the stomach a little more and highlight your curves at the hips.

Comfort when carrying

For underwear, comfort is a key criterion that will allow you to feel comfortable throughout the day. We therefore advise you to choose the appropriate size of shaping shorts to guarantee comfort when wearing them . Do not hesitate to try on the shorts as soon as you buy them and take advantage of the seller's advice. As soon as you feel a feeling of discomfort in your movements, opt for a larger size.

After purchasing, your body will adapt to the shaping shorts day by day so that you no longer feel any discomfort. Start by wearing your shorts for one or two hours and let your body get used to them gradually. Over the days, you will no longer have any trouble wearing your shaping shorts wherever you go.

Pay attention to the material of manufacture

The fabric of your shaping shorts is a crucial element that determines the comfort when wearing them. It is important to choose the right fabric that will contribute to your goal. Shaping shorts are an accessory that is generally worn under clothing all day long and deserves special attention for the material. The choice can be influenced by the use.

  • For daily use

Opt for lightweight and breathable materials like cotton. The latter is hypoallergenic and respects sensitive skin in addition to providing softness and comfort . Also, favor easily washable materials if you plan to use it daily.

  • To do sports

Sports activities require more comfortable materials for all sports activities. The most popular materials are polyester , lycra or elastane . The elasticity and waterproofness of the fabric can also be taken into account in your choice.

  • To lose weight

If you are planning to lose weight, you can opt for shapewear shorts that are specifically designed for sweating. On the contrary, they are designed from non-breathable materials such as neoprene, PVC, lycra or polyamide to increase body transportation and facilitate water evacuation.

The holding system and adhesive strips

The last criterion to take into account when choosing the shaping shorts adapted to your body shape is the presence of a support system. As its name suggests, the support system keeps your shaping shorts in place to prevent them from suddenly slipping when wearing them.

The support system of the shaping shorts can be made up of underwires , boning , silicone strips or adhesive strips, just like for bras.
