That's what ordinary shapewear does, because the waistband cuts across your tummy. Ours is high-waisted: it sits above your belly, so there's no edge for it to roll over. Sit, bend, pick up the shopping: it stays where you put it. And if it doesn't for you, the 60-day guarantee has you covered.

No. That effect comes from one tight band squeezing at the waist. Here, the hold is spread across the front, sides and back by soft cross-over bands, and the waistband is wide and soft. It smooths you in rather than pushing you up and over.

That's exactly why it has breathable mesh panels. Ordinary shapewear traps heat; ours lets air through. It's still a layer, so we won't pretend you'll feel nothing, but it's made to be worn through a hot flush, not peeled off in the ladies'.

It's designed to disappear under jeans, work trousers and dresses. For light or close-fitting fabrics, pick the shade closest to your skin tone: there are six to choose from.

That's the whole point. Soft, stretchy fabric and a gentle hold, not a squeeze. You should be able to breathe, eat lunch and sit through a meeting without thinking about it. It's everyday support, not medical compression.

We make it in S to 2XL. Measure your waist and hips, then check the size guide on the product page. Between two sizes? Go up one for comfort. Still unsure? Send us your measurements and we'll tell you which one to pick.

No, and we'd be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Shapewear doesn't change your body. It gently smooths and supports, so your clothes sit the way you want them to. That's it. For most of us, that's plenty.

Not this one. It's made for Tuesday as much as for the wedding: the school run, the office, lunch with friends. Pull it on in the morning, forget it's there, and feel put-together all day.
