Quelle différence entre un body gainant et une combinaison gainante ?

Le body gainant couvre du buste à l'aine en une seule pièce. La combinaison gainante descend jusqu'aux genoux ou aux chevilles. Pour le quotidien, le body est plus discret et confortable.

Comment porter un body gainant sous une robe ?

Pour une robe ajustée, choisissez le modèle invisible. Pour une robe dos nu, le body gainant dos nu. Pour une robe bustier, le body bustier sans bretelles. Adaptez la coupe au décolleté de la robe.

Le body gainant est-il confortable toute la journée ?

Oui, nos bodies seamless 78% nylon / 22% élasthanne sont conçus pour 14h+ de port sans gêne. La fermeture à pression entrejambe permet une utilisation aux toilettes sans retirer la pièce.

Maintien modéré ou maintien fort body gainant ?

Maintien modéré pour le quotidien (14h+ confortable). Maintien fort pour soirées et occasions avec effet sculptant visible (4-8h idéales).

How to choose a shapewear bodysuit

Choosing your shapewear bodysuit comes down to three things: the level of control you want, the coverage (knickers, thong or shorts) and the outfit you'll wear it under. Here's our guide to finding the style that fits your everyday life.

The classic tummy control bodysuit in a knicker cut stays the most versatile choice — it works under most everyday outfits (jeans, skirt, trousers) with a moderate control that's forgotten on the skin. For bodycon dresses or satin sheath dresses, go for the seamless laser-cut version that eliminates any lines.

If the outfit is backless or deeply cut, the low-back bodysuit takes over from the classic style. For strapless or off-the-shoulder dresses, the strapless bandeau bodysuit, with its non-slip silicone band, is designed for exactly that.

On control, most of our bodysuits offer a moderate hold made for 14h+ wear. For a pronounced sculpting effect in the evening or on a special occasion, the firm control bodysuit delivers firm compression from the bust to the crotch without giving up on breathing or digestion.

— Frequently asked questions

All about shapewear bodysuits

What's the difference between a shapewear bodysuit and full body shapewear?

The shapewear bodysuit covers from the bust to the crotch in a single piece. Full body shapewear reaches down to the knees or ankles, offering extended control to the thighs. For everyday wear, the bodysuit is more discreet and comfortable; full body shapewear is for occasions when you want to shape the whole body.

How do you wear a shapewear bodysuit under a dress?

For a fitted dress, choose the seamless laser-cut style. For a backless dress, the low-back bodysuit. For a strapless dress, the strapless bandeau bodysuit with its silicone band. The rule: match the cut of the bodysuit to the back and front neckline of the dress.

Is the shapewear bodysuit comfortable all day?

Yes. Our bodysuits in seamless fabric (78% nylon / 22% elastane) are made for 14 hours of wear with no discomfort or lines. The snap-fastening gusset lets you use the bathroom without taking the piece off.

Moderate control or firm control?

Moderate control for everyday wear (comfortable, forgotten on the skin, 14h+ wear). Firm control for evenings and occasions where you want a visible sculpting effect (firm compression, 4-8h of wear ideal).
