The Current Body Shaper A Real Take On The Art Of Shape-shifting
It should come as no surprise to people that body image can be defined by unrealistic rules. We are immersed in media anywhere and everywhere we go. Movie stars and models are spread out across the covers of magazines and gossip sites like a buffet of bad feelings about how I look in my jeans. Slender is one fashion trend that is always in style.
I remember the first time I heard about body shapers. I was thumbing through a weekly magazine and saw I stunning photo of an up and coming singer wearing one of those clingy satin numbers on a red carpet. The tag on the photo asked the stunner how she prepared for that dress and she said “Thank God for Spanx”. I had never heard of such a thing so I looked it up on line.
When my eyes beheld the product specifications on this popular brand of body shaper, I was forced to grab my soap box (even though I was alone in my office) and defend the liberated ladies of the world against the return of the corseted figure. Images of the bruised ribs of a woman who was laced so tightly that she occasionally passed out ran through my brain. I pull myself together and continue to read online and comparing the products that are available.
The design of the modern shaper is no kin to the medieval braces of long ago. They are commonly made of luxurious stretchy fabric that clings to the body without feeling like it is squeezing the precious oxygen from your body. You can cover a small section like your waist or cinch everything from your neck to your ankles. My personal favorite goes from directly under your bra and down over your hips. Don’t get me wrong, these shapers don’t slide right on and off like panties. They are fitted garments and you will not forget that you are wearing one.
At any age and any weight you can always find some imperfection that needs to be contained. You can wear them under a clingy dress or with jeans. They come in an array of sizes and have become increasingly popular among men. No matter whom you are and how you wear it, a properly fitted (most high-end ones are sold at stores where a clerk will help you choose the size that is right for you) body reshaper will smooth the lines of your figure and make you more confident. That is a good thing!
There are many companies that specialize in reshaping garments for both men and women. The company I like the best is Ardyss International. Ardyss has eighteen Body Shapers for men and for women. The Body magic shaper is the flagship product for the company. This product can be purchased online at www.getbodymagiconline or www.getbodyshapersonline
