The Many Benefits of Shapewear
SKIMS Shapewear is here to help you achieve the firmest foundation for your sleekest you. But let’s confirm some of the questions out there surrounding shapewear and what it can achieve.
Whether you’re still curious about shapewear and trying it on for the first time, or you’re a longtime devotee and expert, here’s a refresher on the real benefits of shapewear. See why our signature compression fabric technology and carefully cut silhouette options are meant to be your wardrobe’s best friend.

Does shapewear really slim your waist?
If you’re looking to achieve some waist cinching, you’re in the right place. Shapewear is designed to slim your silhouette without feeling uncomfortable. Go ahead and get excited to fit into clothes that were a bit snug a minute ago. Stretchy, compressive shapewear is designed to smooth and enhance your curves while slimming you down.
If you want some serious cinching, our waist trainers are made of ultra-strong and stretchy neoprene, designed to guarantee strong structure and shape for your waist—compressing your curves while more actively giving your waist a defined shape.
How many inches can shapewear reduce?
If you never thought you could remove actual inches from your waistline in a matter of minutes, think again. SKIMS shapewear can remove up to 1-2 inches from your waistline just by cinching you in. When you want your fitted jeans to feel a bit more comfortable or when you need to slip into an eye-catching bodycon dress, shapewear is your answer for keeping things tight and sleek.

Does shapewear flatten your stomach?
Shapewear is absolutely designed to flatten and smooth your midsection. When it comes time to put on anything from a bridesmaid dress to your new leather pants, the right shapewear is an effortless way to get the look you want.
Which shapewear is best for tummy control?
We all know the struggle. For light tummy control compression in a silky mesh fabric, try our Sheer Sculpt shapewear, or, if you’re looking for medium compression, our Sheer Seamless collection. For the strongest tummy control and smoothing for your midsection, turn to SKIMS Core Control Collection and our lineup of Core Sculpt options in the SKIMS Body collection, with double-ply material, reinforced waistbands, and engineered stitching.
