Shapewear is specifically designed to help smooth out unwanted lumps and bumps of fat, making your body shape more smooth and helping you find your curve.

Many celebrities and influencers utilise shapewear to give them an instant confidence boost, women across Australia can now do the same and feel as amazing as an A-lister on the red carpet. 

Body Support

Shapewear is known for slimming the body, but it can also extenuate certain areas of the body such as the bottom and bust. Styles of shapewear such as bodysuits & vest place emphasis and support for the bust region. These types of garments give the chest a pushup bra effect, whilst also providing back support and posture correction. Other items such as the booty enhancer give you a more curved behind whilst also supporting your lower back. 

Increased Blood Flow/Thermal Activity

This next feature is often a surprise for most ladies when mentioned. Multiple studies have shown that shapewear has a positive effect on your bodies blood flow and thermal activity.
