— The Elya guide

How to choose tummy control underwear

Well-chosen tummy control underwear changes everything: it disappears under the tightest outfits while naturally sculpting the silhouette. Three criteria to find the right style for your wardrobe.

The classic tummy control knickers with a mid-rise waist and a shaping front panel stay the everyday essential — comfortable under jeans, straight skirts and work trousers. For fitted dresses or tailored tops, the high waisted knickers reach up under the bust to create a continuous silhouette with no lines.

Under very close-fitting outfits (satin, ultra-thin jersey, silk), the shaping thong or the seamless laser-cut knickers make every visible trace of underwear disappear. The thong gives discretion at the back, the seamless knickers all-round discretion.

For a pronounced sculpting effect in the evening or on a special occasion, the firm control knickers deliver firm compression on the stomach and hips — ideal for 4 to 6 hours. For the postpartum period, the postpartum knickers, with their extra-high waist and non-compressive fabric, offer gentle support after birth.

— Frequently asked questions

All about tummy control underwear

High waisted knickers or mid-rise knickers?

Mid-rise waist (above the navel) for everyday wear — discreet under jeans and trousers. Extra-high waist (under the bust) for fitted dresses and tailored tops where you want continuous control with no line at the upper stomach.

Which underwear do you wear under a bodycon dress?

The seamless laser-cut tummy control knickers are made for these outfits — they eliminate any line under dresses in fine jersey, tight satin or viscose. For a sheath dress, the shaping thong offers maximum discretion at the back while still holding the stomach.

Is tummy control underwear comfortable for everyday wear?

Yes, for the moderate-control styles made for 14h+ wear. The shaping front panel flattens the stomach without restricting, the mid-rise waist doesn't roll down, and the seamless technology avoids any seam that shows.

Shaping thong or seamless knickers?

The shaping thong removes any trace at the back (ideal under a fitted sheath dress). The seamless knickers offer full coverage with an invisible laser-cut finish (ideal under a tight satin dress where you want to eliminate any line, front and back).
