How do I care for my shapewear?
Proper care and maintenance of your shapewear are essential for ensuring its longevity and effectiveness. Always check the care instructions on the label and follow them carefully. Most shapewear can be hand washed or machine washed on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the garment. Hang or lay flat to dry, and avoid using a dryer or iron. With proper care, your shapewear can last for many wears and provide the desired shaping effect every time.
Can shapewear be worn every day?
Shapewear can be worn every day, but it's important to choose the right style and size for your needs. Shapewear should be comfortable enough to wear for extended periods without causing discomfort or restricting movement. If you plan to wear shapewear every day, consider choosing a style that provides moderate shaping rather than maximum compression. It's also essential to take breaks from wearing shapewear to allow your body to breathe and avoid any potential health risks.
