3 Types of Body Shapers for Women

Whether you call them women's body girdles, corsets, or foundation garments - body shapers for women have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. There is nothing new about a woman's desire to re-shape her body into something more desirable in her eyes.

The hourglass figure has always been the ideal body shape on a woman, preferred by both men and women alike. The corsets of yester-year were painful organ shifting devices, but thankfully technology has changed things over the course of time.

Body Slimmers: I stress that a body slimmer should not be confused with a body shaper. I know it sounds confusing, but just follow me. Now most shapers do slim the body, however - be advised that not every slimmer shapes the body! Most body slimmers are made of more light weight material such as Lycra spandex. Flexees, Spanx, Yummie Tummie and Slimpressions are great examples of slimmers. These are most useful when you want to smooth over bulges and give a more "clean" and flat look to your body in your clothes.
