How long can I wear a pair of shapewear?

Because of its compressive nature, shapewear is meant for short periods of wear, like during a night out or a formal event. You shouldn't wear shapewear for longer than eight hours at a time, and don't ever sleep in shapewear.

How should shapewear fit me?

Shapewear is snug by nature, but it shouldn't bite or pull uncomfortably on your skin. It should stay up easily without any rolling or pinching. Shapewear is designed to be true to size, so buy a pair that's the same as your regular clothes. There aren't any advantages to buying shapewear a size smaller than your typical clothes, since this will just result in uncomfortable tightness.

How do I maintain my shapewear?

Since shapewear has elastic, you should wash it in cool or warm water and then let it air dry to help it keep its shape. Always double-check the manufacturer's guidelines to make sure you're taking care of the shapewear properly.
