Many styles offer a seamless mesh, meaning there is zero VPL and no thigh bulge.

If you choose a shaper with an open bust design you'll be able to wear your own bra for more flexibility, ideal if you're bigger or smaller on top compared with your bottom half. A U-type anti-droop open bust design will also give the breasts a lift, find a style with adjustable shoulder straps to offer lift and support.

Most are designed with adjustable straps, they offers super control of the tummy and waist. Some waist trainers do have a tendency to roll down but some styles have steel bones that help to hold them in place and also strengthen the shaping effect.
