With so many items online now, including plus size swimsuits, it’s hard to distinguish what is the right shapewear for you that doesn’t feel constricting but also smoothes out the lumps. That’s why I’m going to help you out with a list of the ten best shapewear for plus size women that we chose. We will go into detail and break down what is important to you. Aspects we will be looking at include material, fit, design, comfort, etc. With the right shape and a sensible choice of outfits, dressing can become a lot more fun and wearing shapewear can add to your lifestyle.

What Makes Quality Women’s Shapewear?

When you’re looking at a piece of shapewear, the first thing to look at is the material. This material is typically nylon or spandex, which is ideal for stretch, comfort, and durability during wear. These features make them great to help smooth out different areas of the body while still being comfortable. But you also want to make sure there are as many cotton fibers as possible to allow circulation and breathability. The other most important factor of shapewear, sizing, which will differ from manufacturer to manufacturer I can’t emphasize how important it is to look at the sizing chart and grab a tape measure.

You do not need something that will feel tight and constricting. First of all, it won’t be comfortable, but most importantly, it may cut off blood circulation if it’s too tight. Our goal is the comfort and slimming. Last but not least is the design of the piece of shapewear. We included several types of apparel from full-body suits to pieces of apparel that targets and slims certain parts of the body, such as the butt, thighs, stomach, chest, etc. I encourage you to read through all of our choices below to find the perfect fit for you and do your due diligence.
