Shapewear FAQs

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 shapewear is 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 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 bodysuit shapewear, 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.

What pieces of shapewear can I buy from Soma?

You can find several different types of shapewear in our selection, including shorts, tanks, briefs, bodysuits, and thongs. All of our shapewear pieces are designed to serve different purposes depending on what you’re looking for. 

For example, our high-waist shaping underwear smooths your torso and is great to wear under dresses, while the shaping tank is ideal for smoothing your stomach and keeping you warm. 

We also have shapewear in various colors and patterns, so you can find something that fits in seamlessly with your wardrobe and won’t be seen underneath anything you wear. 

If you need help choosing the right shapewear for your body type and preferences, don’t hesitate to use our Style Connect service to get assistance from one of our expert stylists.

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. 

It should not 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 is available in sizes S to XXXL, so every woman can find something that fits her body shape perfectly.

In addition to shapewear, you can complete your undergarments collection with luxurious bras and sultry lingerie. Shop now to find new essentials you’ll love.
