(I) The principle of shapewear and recommended wearing time

The principle behind how shapewear can make you slimmer is that it has a "contact inhibition" effect, which continuously applies pressure to the body parts you want to sculpt, pushing excess fat into the correct position and preventing it from growing further.

Therefore, if you want to achieve a sculpting effect by wearing shapewear, it is recommended to wear it every day for a full 8 hours. If your body is not used to it at first, you can practice wearing it for 3 to 4 hours a day.

⚠️ Side effects of wearing shapewear for too long

• Impaired blood circulation: Wearing shapewear for extended periods prevents the body from stretching effectively, which may affect blood flow and metabolism.
• Decreased sleep quality: The body should be in a relaxed state while sleeping, and wearing shapewear to bed may affect sleep quality. It is recommended to remove shapewear 2 hours before bedtime to allow the body to rest properly.

⚠️ Side effects of wearing shapewear that is too tight

• Difficulty breathing: Excessive tightness can compress the chest, thus affecting breathing.
• Indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort: Tight shapewear may compress internal organs, causing indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort. In severe cases, it may even lead to acid reflux, causing symptoms such as chest tightness and coughing.

If properly cared for, a shapewear garment can last approximately 2 to 3 years, while better quality ones can last 3 to 5 years.

Shapewear is worn close to the skin, so it is recommended to wash it daily and keep it clean to effectively extend its lifespan. Here are some suggested washing methods for shapewear for your reference!

1. Soak the shapewear briefly in water below 30 degrees Celsius.
2. Gently wash clothes by hand.
3. Lay the shapewear flat to air dry naturally.

When soaking, remember to avoid using fabric softener, and avoid rubbing during washing to prevent the garment from deforming! When drying, be careful not to hang the shapewear or expose it to direct sunlight to prevent it from losing its elasticity or being damaged by the sun.
