How does shaping sportswear work?

Nothing motivates you to work on your own body as much as the visible effects of our workouts. A changing body, firmer skin, and the shy appearance of muscles indicate only one thing - you are getting closer to your goal! You must remember that the key to your dream figure is not only hard work and a lot of motivation, but above all, patience. Believe us, no one was born with a 'six-pack' on their stomach! So what should you do to not lose that? The answer is simple: shaping sportswear! 

We know perfectly well that nothing happens on its own. No matter how good the Leggings in the world, they will not shape our figure without regular workouts and a balanced diet, just like that - forever. They won't make our legs look like they have been trained for 10 years after the first workout, but they will help us look good here and now. There is no shortcut, but it is worth using the solutions that technological progress offers us. Although shaping clothing works on the same principle as the well-known slimming underwear for decades, in the fitness environment, it is a relatively new topic.

Shaping clothes are available in many versions. On the market, you can find Leggings slimming that slim the thighs, lift and round the buttocks, and hide the belly, tops, and sports bras that beautifully emphasize the bust, comfortable training hoodies that turn out to be a must-have for those wanting to hide their waist and belly, and entire sport sets that will shape the whole body. 

Optical slimming of the figure through sportswear is a great way to feel good in your own skin despite a few extra kilograms, belly folds, or larger thighs that we fight with every day. It is an excellent option for women who are still not completely satisfied with the appearance of their belly or struggle with (unnecessary!) complexes. In a quick way, they can optically slim their figure. All thanks to the use of wide elastic, which efficiently hides any imperfections around the hips, waist, and belly.

Sport shaping clothing is characterized by being made from a fabric with a significantly tighter weave than classic lycra or microfiber, which we know from everyday wardrobe. The strong, yet still elastic material and refined construction guarantee the highlighting of natural body advantages and conceal what we are not yet fully satisfied with.  

How do shaping sports sets work?

Their secret lies in the refined construction and the material tailored to needs. They are blends of synthetic fibers that stand out due to their elasticity, absorbency, and great comfort of use. Thanks to the addition of elastane, training clothing fits the body properly, creates the impression of a 'second skin', and is able to shape the body - giving it the desired forms. You can read about why sports clothing should be made from synthetic materials in this article.

The construction of shaping sports sets is characterized by a multitude of seams, reinforcements, and stiffeners, which make the body shaping very effective and visible to the naked eye.  

How to choose the right shaping clothing?

The key point is choosing the right size. When selecting a slimming sports set, you should be guided by the size you currently wear. A big mistake is buying such clothing in a smaller size. This type of sportswear is naturally quite tight and at first glance may seem smaller than classic Leggings for the gym. However, once worn, they fit the body perfectly. If Leggings or sports top is too small, you will not only have an uncomfortable workout but, most importantly, you will not achieve the desired optical effect of body shaping. 

Does slimming sports clothing have different levels of shaping?

Absolutely yes! Leggings BeShaped, which definitely shape the silhouette most effectively, is the Bottom up model. They are made from a slightly denser fabric than the other models. For comparison, the Always On model ! with pockets that do not provide such strong slimming, or the model Strike a Pose, which focuses on highlighting the buttocks and hips.

Do shaping sports sets have any drawbacks?

Of course they do! It is worth remembering that this is not a solution for everyone. For instance, pregnant women should not use such solutions. Remember that legging slimming although they make our legs look great, should not be worn all day. Wearing this type of clothing for too long can result in increased pressure in the abdominal cavity, may restrict blood flow, cause too much pressure on nerve endings, and even lead to fainting.
