SHAPEWEAR FAQS

What IS A BODY SHAPER?

Body shapers are worn under clothing to help slim and smooth your figure. These garments are typically made with spandex to hug the body, which helps define your natural contours and makes it more discreet under clothing.

There are a variety of types of body shapers, from shapewear bodysuits to shaping underwear and shorts. Typically, shapewear for women is available in a variety of nude shades, so they easily blend in under whatever you choose to wear.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SOMA SHAPEWEAR?

Shapewear is an excellent way to slim and contour your figure, leaving you with a smooth silhouette. But shapewear isn’t just used for shaping your body; it’s also great for improving your posture. Shapewear provides compression and supports your back, which helps to straighten your posture and alleviate pain in your lower back.

Shapewear is great for many reasons, and we offer an array of options that provide skimming, smoothing, and shaping benefits. Our body shapers are incredibly soft and versatile, offering maximum flexibility and comfort. 

With our shapewear, you can smooth and contour your shape without feeling constricted, like with other shapewear brands.

WHAT TYPES OF SHAPEWEAR FOR WOMEN DOES SOMA MAKE?

We offer three levels of shapewear: skimming, smoothing, and shaping.

• Skimming shapewear mainly includes brief and thong shapewear and is great for flattening the tummy.
• Smoothing shapewear slims and contours your body shape and offers light to moderate compression so you can still move around freely. This collection includes shapewear bodysuits, panties, and camis. 
• Shaping styles offer high compression and maximum support. This collection includes more high-waisted pieces that slim your entire figure and help you achieve that hourglass shape.

HOW SHOULD SHAPEWEAR FIT?

While shapewear is designed to smooth and contour your body, that doesn’t mean it should be uncomfortable. Shapewear should feel tight on your body, but you should still be able to move around freely. 

Body shapers shouldn’t restrict your movements or limit you from doing things throughout the day. The amount of flexibility you have will vary depending on the type of shapewear you have on, but for the most part, shapewear should fit snugly on your body for best-looking results.

Our shapewear for women is available in sizes S to XXXL, so every woman can find something that fits her body shape perfectly.
