What is shapewear?

Shapewear for women is designed to smooth, shape, and support your silhouette while staying comfortable enough for everyday wear. Today’s shapewear combines lightweight compression, flexible fabrics, and breathable comfort to help create a smoother look under clothing without feeling overly restrictive.

Modern shapewear styles are designed to move with your body while helping smooth the stomach, waist, hips, thighs, and back. Whether you’re looking for light shaping, firm tummy control, or smoothing support under dresses and fitted clothing, there are more comfortable shapewear options available than ever before.

Maidenform has styles to sculpt, shape, and smooth from bust to ankle. We offer shaping panties, including briefs, thongs, and high-waist styles. For a little more coverage, consider thigh-slimmer styles that come in various silhouettes and can reach from just under your bra to mid or even the lower thigh for a clean, hourglass shape. For complete control, we offer all-in-one body shapers, some with a built-in underwire bra and some with an open bust to accommodate your own bra, offering you lots of flexibility. Other entries in our shapewear gallery include waist cinchers that focus on your middle, camisoles for control from bust to hips, many of them pretty enough to solo as tanks, and shapewear leggings for that sleek smoothness from waist to ankle. With all these different styles, each targeting a particular area, you can customize your figure just the way you want.

What type of shapewear should I choose?

The best shapewear depends on your outfit, comfort preferences, and the level of shaping support you want.

Light-control shapewear offers smoothing and flexibility for everyday wear and layering under casual outfits. Firm-control shapewear provides more targeted shaping and support for special occasions, dresses, or form-fitting clothing. Ultra-firm styles offer maximum compression and sculpting support while still using modern stretch fabrics for flexibility and movement.

Popular shapewear styles include:

• tummy control shapewear
• shaping underwear
• shaping panties
• thigh slimmers
• smoothing shorts
• full body shapers
• seamless shapewear
• high-waisted shapewear
• Many women also look for breathable shapewear with lightweight fabrics that help smooth without feeling too tight or restrictive.

In addition to shaping all the places that need shaping, we offer fajas choices in control levels. You’ll find light control for gentle smoothing, firm control for more holding power, and select styles with ultra-firm control when you need serious compression for that tight-fitting little dress. Whether you’re looking for camis or panties, body shapers or thigh slimmers, you can find the control level you need.

Is shapewear comfortable enough for everyday wear?

Comfortable shapewear is one of the biggest priorities for today’s shoppers. Modern shaping styles are designed with softer fabrics, flexible stretch, and smoother construction that help reduce rolling, digging, and discomfort.

Features like Cool Comfort® moisture-wicking fabric, lightweight compression, seamless construction, and flexible waistbands help create shapewear that feels more wearable throughout long days, work, travel, and special occasions.

Many women prefer shapewear that smooths and supports without sacrificing movement or breathability. That’s why today’s shaping styles are designed to balance comfort, flexibility, and confidence.

What shapewear works best under dresses and fitted clothing?

Seamless shapewear and smoothing styles are especially popular under dresses, skirts, leggings, and fitted outfits because they help create a sleek, smooth silhouette under clothing.

High-waisted shapewear and shaping shorts are commonly chosen for tummy smoothing and waist shaping, while body shapers and thigh slimmers help create all-over smoothing support. Lightweight fabrics and no-show construction can also help reduce visible lines under clothing.

Many women specifically look for shapewear that stays in place throughout the day without rolling down or bunching under fitted outfits.

What features should I look for in shapewear?

When shopping for the best shapewear for women, many shoppers prioritize:

• tummy control support
• breathable fabrics
• lightweight compression
• seamless construction
• moisture-wicking performance
• flexible stretch
• smoothing support
• stay-put waistbands
• all-day comfort

Some shapewear styles also include targeted shaping zones, smoothing panels, or anti-roll features designed to improve fit and comfort during wear.
