Body Shaping Underwear

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   i want to buy some body shaping underwear, but i was wondering if there are any brands people would recommend?
   so people who know people who like it, brands wise...
   really need your help
   plz plz plz i need your help!

   • ANSWER:
     I love La senza's branded ones, they really work well and are comfy too. Plus they are not too expensive so if they aren't for you, you won't have broken the bank. My friend also likes the figleaves brand one's which she wears all the time- they have loads of one's for different occasions and outfits.

2. QUESTION:
   Do those body curving underwear/undergarments actually work?
   i am currently exercising and trying to tone my body, especially my stomach. i am quite thin already and i was just wondering if the body shaping underwear works. if i were to wear them would it hold in my stomach and actually make my body stay to that shape? or is their purpose to make you look good under a dress or something? sorry if this is confusing, but i'm not sure how hey actually work.

   • ANSWER:
     They are good, but for cosmetic purposes only... they DONT do the slightest thing to effect ur body weight or composition, or do anything to tone any areas. They just hold stuff in tight to make u look good under certain clothes. i found their really good under satin dresses cuz it creates a smooth line as ur flabby bits tend to be accentuated under satin! i measured myself before and after putting on the bike short looking ones once, there was like 2.5 cm difference, so not much but it can help u feel good, and pretty much smoothes everything out.. hope that helps!

3. QUESTION:
   What's the best body shaping underwear?
   I have a wedding to go to in April, and I'm wearing this really awesome sleeveless knee-length vintage cocktail wiggle dress in navy blue silk chiffon with all over horizontal pleats. Sort of like this: http://www.lordandtaylor.com/eng/WomensA... except solid navy, knee length, and without the weird thing at the bodice. I had it tailored to fit, and I am in pretty good shape, but I want to go that extra mile and get a body shaper. I have a small problem area on my lower abdomen that I want to control, and since silk chiffon isn't the most forgiving fabric, I want everything else to be nice and smooth. I would also like the option of peeing without completely undressing at some point in the evening. Any recommendations with links would be greatly appreciated.

   • ANSWER:

6. QUESTION:
   Body shaping clothing, does it really work?
   I just saw a commercial for body shaping clothing (like underwear) It is supposed to flatten your stomach and back. If you wear that long enough does it actually flatten your stomach? What I mean is...when you don't wear it will you still have a flatter stomach?

   Sorry if it doesn't make sense, lol. I'm up fairly early, haha but thanks for your help!

   • ANSWER:
     It only works if you are prepared to work at your own shaping the clothing will alter your shape but your diet will maintain it ~~

   Do body shapers help you look slim?
   Just wondering if body shaping underwear really works or not. I've gone up a size over the past couple of months and Im about to go on a short holiday and want ot look my best.

   Is it worth investing in body shaping underwear?

   • ANSWER:
     I tried these from Costco and they did not work. A good body shaper will have a thin band of rubber between two layers of fabric to really help the stomach to pull it in and I recommend the kind from this site; www.shop.lefemmebodyshaper.com the reference number is 1456. They offer free shipping on all purchases and tax is included in the price! Best regards.

10. QUESTION:
    What underwear styles/cuts would be most flattering on a woman with an apple body shape?

    • ANSWER:
      Are we talking sexy underwear or practical?

      Corsets are great for nipping in an apple shaped body at the waist. If not go for a really well fitted bra.
      Knickers shouldn't be too low cut as this can accentuate a lack of hips. Go for ones that are cute really high in the leg to make them look longer - eg not boxers, try small french knickers.

      Practical - get some magic pants Gok Wan raves about them for a reason, they create a lovely silhouette

16. QUESTION:
    How Can I Make The Most Of My Body Shape ?
    Okay so most of the time i cant seem to find clothes/underwear to make the most of my body shape my measurements are :

    bust- 42"
    waist-26"
    hips-34"

    I have an hourglass bodyshape and my bra size is 34FF and I'm around 5ft9

    I'm not a tomboy but i'm not a real girly girl, btw i'm 17 (:

    • ANSWER:
      if you wear red figure hugging dresses with a big chunkey black belt it will enhance your bust and hips while still showing your hourglass waist, or shirts tucked in to a black pencil skirt ?

17. QUESTION:
    Where's the best place to find jeans for my body shape?
    The narrowest part of my waist is 23 inches. The widest point of my wips/butt measures 37 inches.
    The problem is that either the butt fits fine, but the waist and thigh is baggy. And if the waist is good, the butt and thigh is way too tight. The pants usually gap at the back and expose my underwear when I sit down even if I'm wearing the tighest belt known to man.
    I usually get my jeans at Old Navy because they have low rise and are stretch. I literally have kept my jeans until they have worn down to bare threads. Now that I have thrown them out, I can't seem to find any jeans that aren't this new "skinny leg" trend that choke my ankles. Apparently, stretch is also out of style?
    I'm 5'4 and usually wear a size 2.
    I need some suggestions for jeans that aren't too expensive that would be good for my body type. I'm getting sick of wearing the same 3 jeans and trying on every pair in a store only to leave with nothing.

    • ANSWER:
      Try an outlet store (ie Old Navy Outlet), they shouldn't have as many "skinny leg" jeans because they don't get all the new clothes right away.

      I worked at the Gap Outlet and they had quite the variety... perhaps you can find something there for you too.

    • ANSWER:
      In my experience, guys have tended to like thongs...the skimpier the better! This is for your husband so he isn't going to notice the imperfections but he is going to notice that you went out of your way to please him, and that alone will turn him on. Wear whatever you decide with confidence.. Go with red...that is always a good color, and it is fitting for valentines day too.

    Hi I am six feet tall and weigh 72 kg's. My waist is 30 and I have a V shaped body. My problem is i get undies of size 30.. Now this is the awkward part. My height is too much and as you can guess my "down there" size is equally longer.. And size 30 undies are clearly too uncomfortable.

22. QUESTION:
    What kind of underwear/lingerie do guys prefer?
    Color/ Style? Does it change with body shape or age?
    I'm 21, thin, small breasts- does that make a difference?

    • ANSWER:
      Body type certainly affects what sort of lingerie you should be wearing.

      Color: Lighter skinned women usually look best in black or red. Blue and green can work as well. Darker skinned women can dip into orange, yellow and white.

      In general, women seem to lean further to the "pretty" side, and less to the "trashy" side than guys would prefer. I've had girlfriends "suprise" me with lingerie that was hardly more revealing than something she could wear in public.

      As for style, pick an asset you want to emphasize, and plan accordingly. If you like your butt, consider something with a g-string that really accentuates it. Since you're thin, showing off your stomach might be a good idea too.

      The idea is to find something you feel sexy in, but that is also provokative. Not every guy has the same tastes. It's tough to go wrong with a nice push-up bra and skimpy panty set though.

23. QUESTION:

25. QUESTION:
    Question about female body shapes - I'm confused?
    I'm confused about female body shapes. When I look at myself in the mirror in my underwear, I'd say I'm a pretty straight figure. But most sites and sources say that "straight" or "banana" figures gain weight around the shoulder and chest. I don't do that, I just gain weight everywhere. When I gain weight, I gain it in my butt and my stomach and my arms, not just one concentrated place.... What's up with this? Am I a combo of body shapes, or does this happen to everyone?

    • ANSWER:
      Every females body is different. so is yours. Its nothing to be worried about

    Bras: Full coverage? Padded? Sport? Racer back? Push-up? Strapless? Lace? Corset? Peek-a-boo style? Nipple coverings?

    Hosiery & Stockings: Thigh highs? Fish net? Satin?

    What's your favorite? ;-*

31. QUESTION:
    Ladies: What underwear is the most flattering on a guy who's got a bit of a gut?
    I've got a medium build, and I'm moderately tall but yet I'm slightly over weight for my height (5'9", 175 lbs). And so naturally, I've got a little bit of a belly. Now when a girl sees me in my underwear I still want to look my best, and I don't want to embarrass myself. I currently prefer boxer briefs, but I'm not sure if the tightness of the waistband makes me look chubbier. Any recommendations that might look good on me despite my body shape?

    • ANSWER:
      i think u should use both, so like that, ur girl doesn't know what to expect ..
      but i recommend the tightness .

32. QUESTION:
    Brand of Jeans for pear shaped body, without a very defined waist, and larger thighs?
    I'm looking for a brand of jeans that will fit my shape. Most jeans fit tight in the hips and thighs and looser in the waist, so they sag and make by butt look like a blob rather than defined, they also slide down so much that love handles (and underwear) show too. The only brand I have found so far is Levi's Demi Curve Regular Boot Cut Jeans. They made my butt look fantastic, and fit perfectly around the waist, but frankly, Levi's Jeans are ugly.

    In my waist size, jeans all seem to fit this ruler type of body (Typical of a size 27 or 28):

    Waist: 35 (1.5 inch below navel)
    Hips: 36
    Thighs: 20

    Here are my measurements:

    Waist: 33
    Hips: 36
    Thighs: 21.5

    Some boot cut styles fit my thighs, but the still fit the same around the hips and waist. And usually the pockets are too far apart and look worse than regular flare type jeans.

    I have looked at PZI Jeans, but those are for much more curvier women

    Can anyone recommend a brand (and maybe a style in that brand), that would fit my type?
    Oh yeah, and no high waisted mom-jeans please. I'm 27, not going on 60.

33. QUESTION:
    How can I dress my weird body shape in a flattering way?
    I'm quite tall (5ft and although I wear a size 12 I have the appearance of being much skinnier, most people expect me to be a 6 or 8.
    I've got very long skinny legs, a long torso, averagely rounded hips and bum, and a rounded belly that I seem to be stuck with no matter how much weight I lose!
    Also, although I've got virtually no boobs at all (AAA cups) I have an abnormally wide ribcage and often struggle to do up blouses and dresses with zips.
    Is there ANYTHING I can wear that will fit me properly and look flattering? Clothes tend to be huge on some parts of my body and tight on others (not in the right places) and are nearly always too short.
    Looking at me in the mirror in my underwear I actually don't appear that much out of proportion, but putting on clothes that work for my body is really hard!

35. QUESTION:
    Would you date a guy that goes commando (wears no underwear)?
    I never had anyone complain, and I have never had problems doing it. I am a 31 year old male, and I keep my body in shape. I also practice very good hygiene so I keep myself clean EVERYWHERE. I wear the in style clothes: jeans, cargo shorts, and shirts from American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, Diesel, Guess, Fossil, Adidas, Nike, Diadora, Puma, etc. I rarely wear underwear because I do not feel I needed it, and I think it is comfortable to wear go without it. Only if I wear a suit or dress pants do I wear boxer briefs or Underarmour during intense sports. jerry_taylor31@yahoo.com

      Never thought about it one way or the other but a man I work with goes commando and if I was not married I would date him. I have no problem with the commando idea.

36. QUESTION:
    How to become a model?
    I was told recently I would make a great model, and at first I thought the idea was a total no. I do not seem the right kind of shape, because its not the type most models are.

    I have a great figure and have some measurements (but i have a feeling i am too big);
    bum: 40"
    hips: 36"
    waist: 27"
    boobs: 35"
    leg to body ratio: 40:17"
    I am almost 5ft9"
    I am a size 10 but sometimes a size 12...
    As for a picture, I am not comfortable putting one online, but I have natural very light blonde, long hair, good skin, well shaped, brown eyebrows, big and dark brown eyes.
    I'm not impeccably toned, but I am working on it. I have an hourglass figure and look in proportion for my height, though I am aware that my body shape isn't very model-y.

    What kind of model could I be with this shape? Underwear? Swimsuit? But I still think I may be too big.

    Thank you in advance (:

37. QUESTION:
    How do I make my wife feel good about her body?
    My wife has some severe insecurities. #1 Being her difficulty in communicating. #2 She doesn't like her body.

    My wife has gained weight over the years (about 10 lbs), couple that with the fact that she has a very interesting shape. She's very large chested, but is very short & petite. She's a size 7 (medium). She is the smallest woman I've been with since high school, as I usually have dated plus sized women.

    I have noticed my wife's weight gain and haven't said anything to her about it. It doesn't bother me at all. I think she's gorgeous. She is very insecure about her body and because of it she wouldn't wear lingerie for a long time. Actually, she's more insecure about her body in lingerie than she is with her naked body.

    For a long time she just refused to wear lingerie, which was an issue for me because she knew how much I like it. And she would make excuses: She didn't have the money, she threw away the old lingerie because it didn't fit, why couldn't I love her without it, etc.

    She finally opened up to me (after 3 years of this problem) and told me that most of it doesn't fit her properly and it's not that she feels uncomfortable in it...its that it constantly reminds her that she has an odd shaped body.

    I ALWAYS compliment my wife on her body, and when she dresses sexy. I am always romantic and touchy feeling with her when she's in lingerie on even if she has on pretty underwear under her clothes...just so that she knows at least one person (the person who counts) likes the way she looks.

    My wife by no stretch of the imagination is unattractive. She has what I call a "stripper body". And if a stripper can find clothes/lingerie...so can she. My wife frequents Las Vegas and she says that's the only place she can find lingerie or pretty bras to fit her, but she won't go get any when she goes. She won't buy online, because she says that she has to try things on...and I have wasted money before testing that...because half the clothes that "claimed" to be her size fit & the other half didn't.

    I know that self-esteem begins with SELF...but there has to be something that I can do?

    I don't always feel attractive...and I've gained way more than 10lbs since we've been married, but when my wife compliments me...it absolutely makes my day.

    • ANSWER:
      I am in a similar situation. She is still stunningly beautiful, but she's gained 10-12 pounds, and she feels very insecure about it. It's true, self-esteem begins with "self", but there are things you can do to help her.

      1) When you wake up next to her one morning, just look at her, smile, and say something like "Good morning, beautiful." Trust me, it will absolutely make her day.

      2) Whenever she does bring you to try on clothes (God knows all woman do this to you at some point) act like you've just seen Scarlett Johansson completely naked. Don't go over the top, but moderation is good.

      3) Don't bring up the issue. If she brings it up, just tell her "Honey, you know how I feel about you, that's all that should matter."

39. QUESTION:
    how to fix odd body shape?
    i hardly consider myself fat, im 5'4" and 113 lb, something i consider healthy for a 16 year old. however, i hav fairly large thighs and hips. this would not bother me much if it werent for this big problem.
    i hav an odd gap between my hip fat and thigh fat. It's like an hourglass figure, but it is verrrry defined, and veryy odd looking.
    it falls at where the stretchband part of my underwear hits, and i dont know how to get rid of it

40. QUESTION:
    Should I be embarrassed about my body?
    I am 16 years old, I have been in a relationship with a boy also 16, for about 8 months now.
    Obviously in a relationship at some point things are going to get sexual, I'm currently a virgin and so is my boyfriend, but I do everything I can to avoid sexual contact with him as I hate my labia. I feel as if they're quite enlarged as they hang 2-3cms over my labia majora. It's something I've been very self consious of since I have been old enough to identify and explore my body.
    I know and understand lots of women have this problem as well, and many feel blessed to have enlarged labia but I still feel very concious about it. It affects the clothes I wear as I feel as if people can see it, the undwear I wear, getting changed around people and even wearing bikini's in the summer.
    Should I feel embarrassed to be like this?
    I love the other parts of my body, such as my legs and stomach, and often end up showing them off as I much prefer them compared to my labia. I would love to have the confidence I have with the rest of my body with my labia. I feel as if they are holding me back from enjoying a good sexual relationship (I'm only human, I want to experience these things aswell. )
    Sometimes it gets me really down that I have enlarged labia and makes me feel physically sick looking at them. It also makes me feel slightly depressed as I pull away from my boyfriend when he wants things to go further and make a petty excuse such as 'my mum will be home soon' I really want to be able to have sex with him, and feel as if my insecurities are unfair on him as you wouldn't expect a 16 year old male to wait so long.

    Ive tried buying some sexy underwear, but they tend to 'poke' out or dis-shape the underwear.
    Any help or tips on things I can do to boost my confidence or make things easier for myself? Or am I worrying too much? Will he even care what it looks like down below?

    btw, i'm in a bathing suit not my underwear

    • ANSWER:
      Cardio: The best way to get into shape is doing cardio exercises such as running and joggin atleast 30 minutes a day. This will burn fat and calories that you produce.

      Dieting: Eating lighter meals than you usually eat through the day. Try cutting your calories by half throughout the day for a couple of weeks. You will see results.

      Doing a variety of sit up exercises will build your abs and burn fat around your abs. Normal sit up positions usually don't effect your body, so search on google to perform other situp positions such as crunches and bicycle situps.

      Staying away from fatty foods such as bread, potoatoes, fries etc. are high on carbohydrates which turn into fat.

      Goodluck!

43. QUESTION:
    How do you get a nice womanly body?
    I'm seriously tired or reading different things from difference websites. Some say to eat healthy, some say do the eat-every-3-hour thing. I'm sick of seeing all of these excersizes, and then websites telling that the excersizes don't work and you should try something else.

    I've been through all of that. I've tried those tight underwear that stretch down your thighs and up to just under your chest; that "supposively" shape your body (and yes, it was expencive. Over 0).

    I want to know something that actually WORKS. Not from what you've 'heard', but is there anyone out there that actually has been doing something over a long duration of doing excersizes, going on a certain diet or something where you actually have experienced your body changing. Weight and shape.

    I want a body like Mariah Carey's. Womanly. Not buff, not anorexic.

    I want to know what works from real experience. Seriously.
    Things that I should do, things that I shouldn't.

    Thank You
    "I have lost 18lbs in just under 10weeks using a muscle building and fat burning system. I was a size 8 and went to a six. I'm 5'5" and 33 yrs old. I have been coaching people on weight loss for a while now and the most important thing is to create a plan based on weight loss then maintenance. I'm wondering what your stats are before I can tell you more."

    If anyone else needs this information as well:
    I'm 5'1 and probably around 100-105lb. The last time I weighed myself, I was 100.
    - And also my goal is to aim for probably 95-97lb. That sounds pretty dramatically little, but I'm sure that my current weight is nearly overweight for my height.
    Last thing to add - sorry.
    I want to get down to that 95-97 because most of my body is just fat. Yes, fat that jiggles and folds inwards at times. I want to tighten my stomach, my thighs and my arms without them looking buff. I'd prefer a toned and curved body. I can practically squeeze my stomach and all there'd be is a lump of just fat. In my arms I can pinch bulges of it, and my thighs down just smoothly curve downwards.
    down just smoothly curve downwards.

    *don't

    • ANSWER:
      I agree, a woman should have curves, being too skinny or having madonna man arms is not attractive on females. Simply eat when you are hungry, when you gain weight it is the fat that will fill out your womanly areas. To ensure you don't gain too much weight, do some moderate exercise. This is what Mariah Carey does. Try to walk about 30 minutes a day, do a few sit ups and lunges every day, get a 5 lb weight and do arm curls etc.

      Here's a link on Mariah Carey's exercise and diet regime that I saw on Oprah:

    hey all, i have been asked to wear a hideously tight bridesmaid dress for my FSIL's wedding. all of her other bridesmaids are small and im a UK 14 (US 10) i am in proportion to the most part and the one problem i have is my hips, i have a very large dip either side of my his, sort of the top of my thigh meets my side, so from the front view it looks all lumpy like i have some really tight panties digging in!

    the dress she wants me to wear is a fishtail ddress, so it excentuates that part of my body! i need some slimming undies that will help reduce this, inthe hope that i put a few pairs on and it minimises the problem.
