Use Shapewear Hook-Me-Ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are small straps to connect your shapewear to your bra strap<\/a>. These fixings are especially beneficial for ensuring that your high-waisted shapewear stays in place. To use these hooks, just clip them to the top seam of your shapewear and loop the straps around the sides of your bra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can tuck the waistband beneath your bra as a quick fix to keep it in place. This will, however, only work if your waistband is quite high. Once this is done, your shapewear will stay in place for as long as you want without rolling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try Shapewear With Bra Clasps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To keep your shapewear fit and in place, you can try purchasing one with hooks or clasps. You can easily hook up the shapewear to the bra with its fasteners. Once it’s hooked up to the bra it stays in place for as long as you want it to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to worry about its fit or overall outlook. These models are designed to lay perfectly in place as you have on single underwear<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Get the Right Size <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When shopping for shapewear, get real with yourself and do not size down. The problem is not solved by wearing a smaller size. In fact, if the shapewear is too small, it will roll down even more. It will inevitably cause bumps in the incorrect locations, and worse, draw all attention to those spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, getting correctly measured<\/a> and obtaining the perfect size is critical for a superb fit. Measure yourself, either in a lingerie store or at home using tailor’s tape. Use a piece of string to measure yourself. Consult the sizing guide for the manufacturer you are buying from once you have determined your size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because not all sizes are equivalent. An XL in one brand may differ significantly from an XL in another. Also, keep in mind that ordering a size smaller than your actual size will not increase shapewear compression. It will merely cause the shapewear to roll down or up, resulting in ugly bulges in your belly.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pick Shapewear With Silicone Hems or Strips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most high-waisted shapewear has a silicone grip or strips around the waistline to hold it up in place. These strips are mainly used as aids to keep your shapewear firmly in place without the use of straps or extensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are placed in between the waist seam of the shapewear and won’t leave imprints or marks on the skin. These silicone additions have been tested and should not have any negative or allergic reactions on the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy Shapewear With Straps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another simple method to explore would be buying shapewear with straps. Strapped shapewear will stay in place without shifting. You can wear this under your dresses or rompers without worrying about it shifting or changing shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Hairspray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although this does not sound like an immediate go-to option, it works. Spraying your stomach with some hairspray before dressing can do the trick. Hairspray will make your skin sticky enough to help keep your shapewear in place. Although, this trick would only last a few hours and should not be considered a long-term fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to pick a safe brand that won’t be harmful to your body<\/a>. Popular brands<\/a> to explore include the Amika Headstrong Intense Hold Hairspray. This hairspray brand has a fast-drying formula which means you can spray them on just before putting on your shapewear. It is also vegan-friendly and does not contain sulfates or other harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Does Shapewear Roll Down?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of reasons why your shapewear rolls down. These reasons are common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing the Wrong Size <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wearing smaller-size shapewear will not cause your figure to pop better than you think. It will only make you uncomfortable and show off your underwear lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing bigger shapewear too will cause fitting problems. Your shapewear might feel loose for several reasons, including weight loss. If you are in this situation you should look towards changing it, not wearing it. <\/p>\n\n\n

Using a Washing Machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is better to hand wash and air dry your shapewear. This is because it is made from different fabrics and mostly requires gentle washing. Also, most brands recommend not washing it after every use, since this can reduce the longevity of the shapewear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shapewear made from lycra fabric can lose its stretchy feature once it undergoes frequent washing. Tumble drying or frequent heat exposure can also cause the shapewear to shrink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Poor Quality Shapewear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You should look for quality shapewear made from good and quality materials. Wear and tear can cause your shapewear to lose its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
