The first shapers were worn by the Greeks, and
continued all the way till the freewheeling 70s, after which their popularity
declined. However, shapers have made
a comeback now, and how. Here's everything there is to know about this trend.
Shapers work in a very different way
from traditional cosmetic garments: instead of making certain body parts appear
enhanced, they nip and tuck the body part, i.e., controls its appearance. It is
mainly used by men and women who want to appear slimmer and smoother. Whether
or not shapers do
actually burn fat is a completely different question- one that has no certain
answer to. Proponents claim that the garments are stitched in a way that
maximizes the amount of fat burnt (this claim, however, has no scientific
backing). Other benefits include but are not limited to looking slimmer almost
instantly, its inexpensiveness, and the boost to confidence that it provides.
Opponents claim that wearing shapers cause blood clots and soreness, heartburn
and acid reflux, breathing problems while deluding users into believing that
they are in shape and do not have to exercise- all problems which can be
avoided by wearing the correct size. Shapers are generally available in small,
medium and large, although brands like Victoria's
Secret, Spanx, Vedette, etc are now expanding their lines to include 3 more
sizes.
Shapers make the user look slimmer- there is no doubt in this. Even so, users must
spend time ensuring they are informed about all the other benefits and
disadvantages.
