3️⃣ 💡 Top 3 Most Comfortable Shapewear Items on Shapermint - According to YOU!

We all know the horror stories - and most of them revolve around how uncomfortable shapewear can feel. It’s gotten so bad that, for many women, comfortable shapewear just seems like a contradiction.

But it is NOT. Comfortable shapewear is actually one of the main drivers behind our inspiration for launching Shapermint. Did you know that we take down any products that have less than 3.5-star average reviews in our site? That’s how serious we take comfort - and that’s also why we offer free exchanges so that all customers can find the perfect, comfortable shapewear for their own body.

So for this week, we asked our #ShapermintGals on social media to share their thoughts on what’s the most comfortable shapewear they found on Shapermint so far - and why! Read on to find out 😉

1) Empetua High-Waisted Shaper Shorts

Comfort is not only about invisible panty lines and not feeling like something is trying to squeeze the life out of your body. You can grab your own comfy Shaper Shorts right over here.

2) The Co’Coon Seamless Antibacterial Hip-Hugger Bodysuit

They say bodysuits are the new black in shapewear and we can see why. It’s the only sure-fire way to avoid any annoying rolling at the top, plus it offers full, confident-infusing coverage for most of the day.

3) High-Waisted Shaper Panty

It takes the stand again! We’re always running out of stock and restocking this baby. Our #ShapermintGals can’t seem to get enough of it and, apparently, comfort has a huge role to play in this.

1. Compression and Support

First things first, why are you getting shapewear? Are you looking for an everyday confidence boost? An ally for a special occasion? Just a quick pick-me-up to pull out of your sock drawer every time you need a pep talk?

The longer you are planning on wearing your shapewear, the more comfortable you need it to be. Medium and medium-to-high compression shapewear is excellent for everyday wear, or when you’re just looking for a soft nudge into the confident direction.

Shapewear CAN Be Body Positive - Here’s Why

Look, we get it. When we, at Shapermint, first started getting excited about spreading the word on what shapewear meant to us, we knew we’d get some serious backlash. After all, shapewear was invented a long, long time ago as a way to actually cover-up women’s bodies, molding them into unattainable standards that were imposed by, of course, men.

But we live in the 21st century right now. This is no longer true. Plus, we now have the power to define what stuff means to us - and NOT the other way round.

So here are 7 ways in which shapewear can actually be body positive. Join us in spreading the love! Us girls need to stick up for each other and stop 👏🏼judging 👏🏼each 👏🏼other 👏🏼 - ASAP!

Postpartum Shapewear 101: The Basics

We hate to jump on the post-pregnancy horror bandwagon but, yes, your body does change after having a baby. Not only does your expanding tummy now take its sweet, sweet time to recede, but you’re also left with flab, bulges and pouches that no one ever told you would stay. Mix in lack of sleep, no time to shower and the odd stretch mark and it’s no wonder learning to love our body once again is such hard work! 

But it CAN be done! And it’s not just because we’re about to talk about the wonders of postpartum and maternity shapewear. Just watching the numbers on that scale go down as soon as you give birth can be exhilarating, breastfeeding burns a ton of calories and, most importantly, having a kid is AWESOME. Trust us on this one!
