In fact, I believe a gal should at least have one or two body shapers in her wardrobe for special occasions. And for when you want to fit in your pants during you know, when it's the time of the month.

Luckily, body slimmers today are more versatile, comfortable, discreet and stylish. Compare that to the heavy corsets and grandma-looking girdles way back in the old days! No need to worry about being squeezed in shapewear.

Most body shapers are made of Spandex which is fabric that "compresses" your body as well as letting it breathe and move around.
