How does sports shaping clothing work?

Nothing motivates you to work on your own body as much as the visible effects of your exercises. A changing body, firmer skin and timidly appearing muscles only prove one thing - you are getting closer to your goal! You have to remember that the key to your dream figure is not only hard work and a lot of motivation, but above all patience. Believe us, no one was born with a "grid" on their stomach! So what to do to not lose it? The answer is simple: shaping sportswear! 

We know perfectly well that nothing happens by itself. No, not even the best leggings in the world will shape our figure without regular exercise and a balanced diet, just like that - forever. They will not make our legs look like after 10 years of regular exercise after the first workout, but they will help us look good here and now. There are no shortcuts, but it is worth using the solutions offered by technological progress. Although shaping clothing works on the same principle as slimming underwear known for decades, it is a relatively new topic in the fit environment.

Slimming clothes are available in many versions. On the market, there are slimming leggings that will slim the thighs, lift and round the buttocks and hide the belly, tops and sports bras that beautifully emphasize the bust, comfortable training sweatshirts that turn out to be a must-have for people who want to hide the waist and belly, and entire sports sets that will shape the entire body. 

Optical slimming of the figure through sportswear is a great way to feel good in your own skin despite a few extra kilos, belly folds or wider thighs that we struggle with every day. This is a great option for women who are still not completely satisfied with the appearance of their belly or are struggling with (unnecessary!) complexes. In a quick way, they can optically slim their figure. All thanks to the use of wide rubber, which efficiently hides all imperfections in the hip, waist and belly area.

Sports shaping clothing is characterized by the fact that it is made of a knit with a much tighter weave than the classic Lycra or microfiber that we know from everyday wardrobe. Strong, but still flexible material and a refined construction guarantee the emphasis of the natural assets of the figure and hide what we are not yet completely satisfied with. 

How do shaping sports sets work?

Their secret is a refined design and a material tailored to your needs. These are blends of synthetic fibers that are distinguished by their elasticity, absorbency, and great comfort of use. Thanks to the addition of elastane, training clothing adheres to the body, creates the impression of a "second skin" and is able to shape the body - give it the desired shapes. You can read about why sportswear should be made of synthetic materials in this article.

The construction of sports shaping sets is characterized by a multitude of stitching, reinforcements and stiffenings, which make body shaping very effective and visible to the naked eye.

How to choose the right shapewear?

The key point is choosing the right size. When choosing a slimming sports set, you should be guided by the size you currently wear. A big mistake is buying such clothing in a smaller size. This type of sportswear is naturally quite narrow and at first glance may seem smaller than classic gym leggings. However, once put on, they will fit your body perfectly. However, if the leggings or sports top are too small, you will not only give yourself an uncomfortable workout, but above all you will not achieve the intended optical effect of body shaping. 

Do slimming sportswear come with different levels of shaping?

Absolutely! The BeShaped leggings that will definitely shape your figure the most effectively are the Bottom up model. They are made of a slightly tighter knit than the other models. For comparison, the Always On ! model with pockets, which does not provide such a strong slimming effect, or the Strike a Pose model, which focuses on enhancing the buttocks and hips.

Do sports modeling kits have any disadvantages?

Of course, yes! It is worth remembering that this is not a solution for everyone. Pregnant women, among others, should not use this solution. Remember that slimming leggings, although they make our legs look great, should not be worn all day long. Wearing this type of clothing for too long can result in increased pressure in the abdominal cavity, can block the free flow of blood, cause too much pressure on nerve endings, and even lead to fainting.
