SHAPEWEAR GUIDE

What Shapewear can do for you

Shapewear is your secret weapon when it comes to undergarments, what you can't see matters a lot. Each body shape deserves a fit and style that's just right. When it's done right, what's unseen can transform what's seen - your shape, your confidence, your sense of your own elegance and sensuality. Here's some of the things Shapewear can do for you:
	Shape and enhance your body
	Smooth midriff
	Push-up breasts
	Push-up bottom
	Flatten tummy
	Create an hourglass waist
	Correct poor posture and support back
	Help post-natal recovery
	Help eliminate flaccidity following liposuction
	Makes you feel fabulous!
Always remember: As well as using Shapewear we would always recommend taking exercise, eating a balanced diet and drinking water, which help to maintain good health and improve quality of life.

How to wear Shapewear

1.	Choose the size corresponding to your waist measurement, in order to prevent discomfort during use and damage to the garment.
2.	When putting on Shapewear always step-into them, do not put on over your head.
3.	Avoid wearing Shapewear during any type of exercise or sport. Overheated skin in contact with the Shapewear may cause irritation to sensitive skin.
4.	The use of creams is not recommended for areas that are covered by the Shapewear. Creams may damage the garment and reduce the life of the Shapewear.

How the materials in Shapewear work

All of the Shapewear in theApparelPlace's collections are made with high-quality materials. Shapewear garments are designed to help you look great and feel comfortable and you'll notice the difference the moment you slip into any of the pieces from our collection. Shapewear garments can use different combinations of materials, here are some of the most commonly used:
Latex:	This material comes from the Hevea plant which provides the elasticity and capacity to hold shape memory in Shapewear garments. Latex is the main material which provides firm control to your problem areas.
Elastane:	Also known as Lycra, this is a very well-known synthetic fiber for its great elasticity. It is characterized as that because it can be stretched to 600% without breaking. In addition, it is also possible to be stretched a great number of times without ruining the shape of the garment. Elastine is light, flexible and smooth and is also resistant to sweat and skin care products.
Nylon:	This is an artificial polymer. It is very smooth and resistant to general wear and tear. Nylon makes Shapewear garments easy to slip into, this is because nylon provides extra support and creates smooth contours.
Cotton:	This material makes it easier for your skin to breathe and it also absorbs moisture. Cotton is used in the inner area of the girdle where you need it most.

How to look after your Shapewear

We want you to enjoy the full life of all the Shapewear you purchase from theApparelPlace.

You can preserve most of your garments for several years by hand-washing in cold water using mild detergent and removing stains using non-chlorine bleach when needed. Air-dry all of these pieces to maintain elasticity and reduce the risk of breaking up delicate fibers.
