Cotton: Cotton shapewear is usually breathable, comfortable to wear, and suitable for daily wear. However, their body shaping effect may not be as good as other materials of shapewear.

 

Nylon and spandex: These two common synthetic fibers have strong elasticity and resilience, providing good body shaping effects, but their breathability may not be as good as cotton shapewear.

 

Lycra: Lycra is an elastic fiber that is usually mixed with other fibers to increase the elasticity and recovery ability of shapewear, with good body shaping effect and longer service life.

 

Silicone: Silicone shapewear is typically used for shaping specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs. They have a strong body shaping effect, but their breathability may be poor.

 

Lace and mesh: These materials are commonly used for women's underwear and tight fitting clothes, with good breathability and aesthetics, but the body shaping effect may not be as good as other materials of shapewear.

 

High elasticity fiber: such as Lycra fabric produced by DuPont in the United States, it has excellent moisture absorption, comfortable wearing, good breathability and other characteristics. It also has a cashmere like feel, skin friendliness, mildew resistance, moth resistance, low shrinkage and other properties.

 

The effect and applicable scenarios of shapewear:

 

Body shaping underwear is mainly made of strong elastic fiber materials or synthetic fabrics, which have the functions of shaping the waist, tightening the abdomen, and modifying the leg lines. They can reshape and reshape body curves, but the effect is temporary and can only gather excess fat in certain parts of the body to achieve a shaping effect. After removal, local excess fat will still appear. If it is necessary to completely remove excess fat from the skin, methods such as liposuction surgery can be considered.
