What’s the Skinny on Shapeware….Or Shall I Say A Women’s BFF?

Spanx, girdles, long bras, high panties, control hose or whatever you prefer to call your BFF, all assist women in sucking in and tucking away unwanted bulging, creating the illusion of smoother skin and coke bottle bodies. I will be the first to confess my love for shapeware. In my opinion, there is nothing more attractive than neatly fitted garb. Clothing should flatter your physique regardless of your body type and the right shapeware will definitely do the job. It’s a great cheating method for those of you who haven’t totally committed to rigorous gym regimes or if you simply want your clothes to fit better. The funny thing is women large and small are wearers of shapeware. Believe it or not, shapeware has been one of the best kept secrets among celebrities for centuries. Nevertheless, as flattering and beautiful as it makes women appear, the medical community is beginning to express concerns regarding excessive suckedindom. According to a recent NBC article on this very issue, an OBGYN from Kaiser Permanente warned that long-term use of shapeware can affect circulation, can cause bacterial infections and nerve damage. She further advised about the possibility of blood clots forming in the body, which can ultimately travel to the brain. She recommended wearing shapeware for special occasions, avoid sizes that are too small and definitely avoid wearing more than one pair at a time, which is a special secret for some celebrities….OUCH. Unfortunately ladies, it appears we are being left with no other alternatives but to eat right and exercise. Health before beauty!!!
