When soft shapewear just isn't firm enough
Some shapers feel lovely but give up by lunchtime. They fold at the waist, roll at the top and stop doing anything the moment you sit down. If you want real hold under a fitted outfit, you need something with structure.
What it is
An open-bust mid-thigh faja with boning through the body and hook-and-eye fastening all the way down the front, with three rows so you can choose how firm it sits. Wide straps adjust at the shoulder, the leg hems are finished in lace, and a zip crotch means you don't need to undo the front to use the loo.
What changes when you wear it
Your waist looks more defined and your tummy looks flatter under clothes, and the boning helps it stay that way when you sit and move. It works while you're wearing it. It doesn't change your body.

Please note: this is a compression garment and it's designed to fit much closer than regular underwear. If you're between sizes, have a broader build, or prefer less intense compression, we recommend sizing up.
FAQ
How long can I wear it?
Start with a few hours and build up if it feels comfortable. Take it off if it pinches or makes breathing difficult, and don't sleep in it.
Will the boning show under clothes?
Under thin, clingy fabrics you may see a faint line. It's smoothest under structured or medium-weight clothing.
Is it suitable after surgery or during pregnancy?
No. If you've had surgery, wear the garment your surgeon recommends. Don't wear it if you're pregnant.
