When wearing tight skirts and slim clothes in summer, many people will rely on body underwear to create smooth curves, but choosing the wrong style often falls into the dilemma of "breathless" or "wearing like not wearing. In fact, really good body underwear can find a balance between "invisible shaping" and "free breathing. Master the following 3 core rules, you can easily choose both body and comfortable body underwear. 1. look for the material combination of "shaping not tight" The comfort of body underwear, 80% determined by the material. Inferior products are mostly made of breathable chemical fiber fabrics, which are not only sweaty and itchy, but also cause local red marks due to poor elasticity. Good models usually use the gold combination of "high elastic fiber + breathable substrate. The core molding layer is preferred to contain 5%-15% spandex (or lycra) fabric, spandex accounted for the higher the stronger the elasticity, but too high will lead to tightness, about 10% can provide continuous support, but also with physical activity rebound, to avoid "more through loose". The skin-friendly layer should contain cotton, modal and other natural fibers, or cool ice silk material, especially in summer, choose the style with mesh ventilation holes, can reduce the feeling of sultry. Avoid pure polyester fiber, nylon and other non-elastic stiff fabrics, this kind of material is easy to rub the skin, wearing for a long time may cause allergies. 2. "choose the version according to the demand" and refuse to blindly follow the trend. Different body shapes and wearing requirements correspond to different versions of body underwear. Selecting the wrong version will directly affect comfort and shaping effect: ① Local shaping requirements: If you want to improve the waist and abdomen, choose a high waist girdle, and pay attention to the "gradient pressure design" of the waist and abdomen fabric-slightly stronger waist pressure and moderate abdomen to avoid shortness of breath caused by tightness of the whole piece; If you need to optimize the hip line, choose a short pants-style body-beautification underwear with hip-lifting design, and the trouser legs should have anti-slip silicone strips to prevent curling. ② Full body shaping requirements: The conjoined model is suitable for creating the overall curve, but you should choose the style of "adjustable shoulder strap" and "crotch opening buckle", which is convenient to put on and take off and can be fine-tuned according to the body shape. ③ Daily commuting needs: give priority to "light plastic" styles, such as seamless vest style and thin waist. This kind of products have moderate pressure and are suitable for matching shirts and dresses. They will not show obvious traces and will not tighten their waist after sitting for a long time. 3. 3 details to avoid the "invisible minefield" The details that many people ignore are the key to comfort: ① Do "dynamic test" when trying on: static fitting is not enough, you need to bend over, raise your hand, sit down and other actions. In case of shoulder strap slipping, leg curling, abdominal tightness and other situations, it indicates that the version or size is not suitable. The size of the choice of "rather than small": many people think that "wear a small size shaping effect is better", in fact, too tight will oppress the internal organs, affect blood circulation, the correct approach is based on waist circumference, hip circumference and other data control size table, choose can easily reach into the size of 1-2 fingers. ③ Check the "pressure mark": regular products will be marked with "mild pressure", "moderate pressure" and "severe pressure". Daily wear can be mild or moderate pressure. Severe pressure is more suitable for short-term shaping (such as wedding and shooting). It is not recommended to wear more than 4 hours a day. In addition, attention should also be paid to the cleaning and replacement cycle of body underwear. It is recommended to wash and dry by hand to avoid machine washing from damaging elastic fibers. When wearing for more than 3 months, elasticity decreases and fabric pilling, replace it in time to ensure the shaping effect and healthy wearing. Choting the right body underwear can not only quietly optimize the body curve, but also enjoy daily activities freely, and truly realize "comfortable and beautiful.
