When it comes to fashion that's flattering, supportive and comfortable to wear, there's nothing like a well-made bodysuit. At Shapetape we believe every woman deserves to feel confident – whether she's going out, heading to the office or relaxing at home. That's why our mission is to design comfortable, stylish and effective shapewear that suits every body. Today we dive into the world of bodysuits – what they are, how they help and which type suits you best.
What is a bodysuit?
A bodysuit is a one-piece garment that covers your torso and sometimes your arms and legs too. It hugs your body like a second skin and usually fastens at the bottom with poppers or hooks. What makes a bodysuit special is its ability to shape, support and smooth your body while staying invisible under your clothes. Whether worn as underwear or outerwear, bodysuits are both functional and fashionable.
Why wear a bodysuit?
Lots of our customers are looking for support and comfort without sacrificing style. A women's bodysuit gives you exactly that. It smooths your tummy, disguises love handles, supports your bust and creates a slim silhouette. Unlike a shirt tucked into your trousers, a bodysuit doesn't come untucked all day.
Bodysuits are also versatile. You can wear them under dresses, pair them with jeans or even style them as a top. Some are designed to stay invisible under your clothes, while others are stylish enough to wear on their own. Whatever you need, there's always a bodysuit to suit you.
Strapless bodysuits
Strapless bodysuits are perfect for off-the-shoulder tops or dresses. They give support around your bust and torso without visible straps. Ideal for eveningwear or summer outfits where you want to keep an elegant neckline. Our Shapetape strapless bodysuits stay firmly in place thanks to strong elastic bands and silicone strips, so you don't have to worry about slipping.
Our strapless styles give medium to strong compression, shape your waist and stay invisible under your clothes. Perfect for weddings, parties or any occasion when you want to look polished.
Shaping bodysuits
One of our most popular categories is the tummy-smoothing shaping bodysuit. Perfect for every day: with firm but comfortable compression, it smooths your tummy and accentuates your waist without constricting you. Wear it under jeans, skirts or dresses. Breathable fabrics keep you cool and dry, even when you wear it all day. These styles are especially popular with women who want a little more support – for example after giving birth or during a busy working day. They give you a confident feeling and are really practical to wear.
Thong and seamless bodysuits
Nobody likes visible underwear lines. That's why thong and seamless bodysuits are so popular. Ideal for tight or light-coloured clothing where you want everything to look smooth. The thong back prevents lines, while seamless edges blend elegantly into your skin. Available in different colours to match your skin tone or outfit. Many styles have adjustable straps and stretchy fabrics for maximum freedom of movement.
Postpartum and maternity bodysuits
Your body changes a lot during and after pregnancy. Special maternity and postpartum bodysuits give soft but effective support for your back, tummy and bust. Stretchy fabrics adapt to your body and give you the comfort you need during this special time.
