Firm-Control Shapewear FAQs
What is firm-control shapewear?
Firm-control shapewear helps you smooth out your midsection and thigh areas. It helps create the appearance of a tight tummy and buttocks in virtually anything you wear.
Some firm tummy control shapewear reaches from your bust area to mid-thigh. Others come as one piece from your shoulders to your knees, but you can also find two-piece sets. Browse our selection to find our latest styles.
When should you wear firm-control shapewear?
Many people wear firm-control shapewear to help them pull in their tummies and streamline cellulite areas. It also can help stop belly rolls from appearing underneath your dress, slacks, or skirts. Women often wear firm tummy control shapewear underneath their office clothes to create a sleek silhouette that makes them feel most confident.
You might decide when to wear firm shapewear based on the occasion and the specific garment you plan to wear. For example, firm shapewear is most commonly worn with form-fitting clothing that might pinch or cling to the body. For example, you might wear firm shapewear under a bridesmaid dress or for a special evening out.
Really, you can put on firm shapewear whenever you feel like it’ll help you look and feel your best.
Does Soma have styles of firm-support shapewear?
We have many types of firm-support shapewear; which is right for you will depend on your personal preferences and the trouble areas you’re trying to target.
Our high-rise waist-cinching style will show off your natural curves without riding up or rolling, and it doesn’t have awkward, bulky seams. This style may feel less constricting than full bodysuits but provides the same level of support. You can remove it more easily than a bodysuit, too, so it’s ideal for when you're out for an entire evening.
On the other hand, you may prefer the seamlessness of the full bodysuit. It usually provides the most interrupted sculpting experience and is preferred for professional and formal occasions. Browse our entire selection of shapewear before you make your selection.
How do I find the right shapewear for my body type?
Find the types of body shapers that you most feel comfortable in. For example, some women have a preference for higher-rise shapewear to hold in the entirety of their tummy, while others would rather have control-top underwear that sits just above the belly button.
If you’re self-conscious about your thighs, you may want to opt for shapewear that extends to the mid-thigh or just above the knee–keep in mind how long your skirt or dress will be.
