The tummy control shapewear features an open-bust bodysuit silhouette with a gorgeous tulle material that smooths the tummy and waist while also leaving a little up to the imagination. Some people may worry that wearing tight shapewear over time may constrict the muscles and cause damage. The award for our best high waisted shapewear thong goes again to the Miraclesuit Sexy Sheer High Waisted Control Thong. If you love shapewear with an open-bust style but aren’t a fan of the usual bodysuit design, the Shapermint Open Cust Shaper Camisole is a must-try.

Our Hourglass Firm Control Thong has been designed to hold you in and help create an hourglass figure. These undies are constructed from stretchy nylon, so they’re breathable, comfortable, and fit the body without too much constriction.This piece is constructed from stretchy yet highly compressive nylon material with antimicrobial SilverSeam technology to keep bacteria and odors at bay. The dress is also made from a soft and breathable stretchy modal material, so it’s comfortable to the touch and features adjustable straps for a better fit. These sheer tights are constructed from stretchy nylon and feature a thick and wide waistband designed to smooth and sculpt the low belly, waist, and hips without ever digging into the skin. I bought mine in the Sales, so cheap - so I shall be investing in the thong too to create some Beyonce booty. As a result, this waist-cincher is actually comfortable and supportive and doesn’t make you feel too restricted when it's on.

The supportive shorts are cut from a stretchy and breathable nylon material, and it has an open gusset, making it easier to use the restroom without having to pull down your shapewear. If your shapewear comes right up to your bra (this depends on how tall you are, rather than the style), you can tuck the waistband under your bra, especially at the sides and back. In addition to stretch, Richards says to make sure the fabric in general is comfortable, breathable, and not restrictive. When it comes to plus-size shapewear, one of our favorite tummy control picks is Yitty's Headliner Shaping High Waist Short, a bike short with strong support and lots of sculpting and shaping capabilities. The tights are also seamless, so you can wear them under the thinnest of fabrics without worrying if they will show through, and they even feature a cotton gusset so you can go commando and avoid more visible lines.

If you wear a body garment that is extremely tight for a long time, it could squeeze your digestive tract enough to create acid reflux, a condition in which stomach contents leak into the oesophagus. Since this only targets the lower part of the belly, it's not going to be top choice for anyone needing shaping benefits for the entire tummy area. The EXTRA FIRM control, high waisted style wraps around your waist and stomach and REALLY sucks everything in.

This super-high waisted thong separate may not fit how it's supposed to on more petite people or those with short torsos. With it’s high-waisted thong shape that sits on the waist, this style is perfect for wearing under your favorite party dress. Since these can be worn on their own, they may not be a thin enough material for someone wanting to wear it solely as an undergarment. The thong back (the bit that goes between your bum cheeks) is super soft, which makes it an extremely comfortable thong to wear for long periods of time.Don’t go for a shapewear thong if you have lots to pack into it, please go for something a bit more all encompassing and forgiving.

Digitalia Not Firm support and rolls up on the leg Nice fit, love that they offer support (although I would say they are medium and NOT firm support) The sides (sheer stripe) over the legs roll up which is annoying. The front and back panels have a high compressive rubbery feel to the material for the ultimate hold and shaping in control underwear.Unlike Victorian-era corsets, with their tight lacings and metal panels, modern-day shapewear is not going to permanently narrow your ribcage or relocate your organs.
