Shapewear (Quality)



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 10/25/12 and I've lost over 100lbs at this juncture. Prior to surgery I lost 100lbs on my own. Losing this much weight has left me with plenty of excess skin and it's making dressing and exercising EXTREMELY challenging!

Can you kind ladies recommend some QUALITY Shapwear? I'm looking for something that will cover my upper arms as well as my upper and lower abdominal area, as those are my biggest problem areas right now.

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope it works here. Thanks in advance!

I wear Spanx for dressing up but for working out I use Danskin tight leggings and capris and fitted shirts from them also. Seems to hold a lot of jiggle while working out. You can find them at Walmart. Target also carries this type of wear just different brand and higher priced. Hope this helps, great job on the weightloss:)

For working out I remember reading that underarmor (sp?) has good options.

I hate Spanx but lots love them. They just make me overheat and don't suck in enough for my tastes.

I can't give advice on the arms but for a high waist cincher I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Rago Shapewear. It's old school - quite retro - but leaves a great line under my clothes and pulls everything in, revealing MY shape, not the shape of my skin. I like the Rago 821 as it has super firm control and really pulls it all in. It goes from directly under my bra to the top of my hips and nobody has ever realized it's under my clothes. I have one in nude and one in black so they work under anything.

It all depends on how much you want from your shapewear. If you're looking for some moderate smoothing, things like Spanx or the Maidenform shapewear will work. If you want something that really shapes you, search out the retro shapewear. For some folks it's too uncomfortable but I love it. Then again, I wear custom corsets, too, so I'm used to and enjoy that constriction. :)

Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
