4 signs of wearing incorrect Shaping Lingerie

This is an interested question posted by one of the participants during our last Body Re-Make Workshop.

How do I know if I'm wearing the right Shaping Lingerie product?

Here're 4 simple, tell tale signs that you're wearing the wrong shaping lingerie.

1) Underarm & Back fat. Do you see improvement or has it gotten worst? A good Shaping Bra re-shapes your breast, reduces the appearance of Underarm and Back Fat. You may even increase a cup size by wearing a good Shaping Bra.

A bad bra that is not three dimensional (3D), may 'flatten' your breast, and pushes your breast tissue to your underarm and back, causing reduction in cup size and accumulation of fat under the arm and back area.

In some cases, the underwire of a poorly designed 2D bra cup compresses against the lymph nodes, around the breast area, hindering proper circulation around the breast area.

Too small or Poorly designed Bra cup does not hold & support your breast properly. It tends to push the breast tissue to the side, causing unslighly underarm fat.

Our Ideell bra is fully 3D, and is sewn from 59 pieces of materials (1 side of the bra cup). Normal bra is between 16 to 22 pieces.

2)  Can you still breathe properly after 6 hours of wearing? Traditional corset is tight, with minimal elasticity causing discomfort after long hours of wearing. Today, a good shaping lingerie made from high tech material should be Elastic and Light, allowing for up to 8 hours of wearing without any discomfort.

Our Ideell Shaping Lingerie uses a patented LYCRA material T920C, that is 1.5x more elastic that conventional polyurethane material.

Ensure the sizing is correct. Too small sizing will be too tight, and can hinder circulation, causing dizziness or numbness to certain body parts. Shaping Lingerie is not meant to be excessively tight as previously believed.
To re-shape effectively, it is best to wear your Shaping Lingerie daily, for up to 8 hours. If the discomfort is stopping you from wearing it daily for a number of hours, then the shaping effect will be minimum.

Based on our own experience, 8 hours of wearing is the optimum for re-shaping. It is effective, and for most professional women, it is within your working hours at the office. You can remove it when you reach home. Wear your workout and Work your body during office hours! There is no need to wear your Shaping Lingerie to bed. Shape up during the daytime, and wear your night lingerie to bed.


3) Hot, Sweaty & Sticky. Is that how you feel when you wear your Shaping Lingerie? A good quality shaping lingerie, made from good quality material is both Functional (for re-shaping), as well as Light and Quick Dry.
When you lift up your Shaping Lingerie, it should be 'light'. It is a piece of Lingerie after all! If your Shaping Lingerie feels heavy like your jeans, then the  material is too heavy and too thick for your comfort.

Ideel Shaping Lingerie - Porous & Quick Dry material, suitable for hot & humid weather.

4) 3D versus 2D. Your shaping lingerie acts as a 'mould' to re-shape your body. Always ask for a full 100% 3D shaping lingerie. A 2D design tend to compress your body, flattens and broadens your body instead of shaping it.

Remember that all shaping lingerie has a permanent shaping effect. A good or bad lingerie re-shapes you either positively or negatively. Always invest in a good pair of Shaping Lingerie that is right for you - the right product, design and size.

How Shaping Lingerie works

Will I lose weight after wearing Shaping Lingerie?

This is a very common question asked by many customers. Let us at ideell, try to clarify a misconception about Shaping Lingerie.

Shaping Lingerie, as the name suggests, is primarily for Shaping. The primary objective of this piece of undergarment is to “Shape”. Should you weigh yourself on a weighing machine, your weight loss may be minimal or none at all.

It has been proven that we will definitely ‘slim’ down, lose inches after wearing Shaping Lingerie, and the effect is permanent!

So, if your weight loss is minimal, how did you lose those inches? Why do you look more ‘toned’, with less fat bulges around your body?  And even better news, how do some women increased their cup size with proper Shaping Lingerie bra?

A Shaping Lingerie is your body’s ‘mould’. You push your body’s fat tissue (namely subcutaneous fat), back to its original location on your body, then you use the Shaping Lingerie to hold the fat in place. Thus, in areas where the fat is unwanted, fat loss will be experienced. In areas where the fat is supposed to be, example your breast, you will experience increase in cup size.

With this fat movement technic, you will lose inches and shape up immediately. With long wearing, the effect will be permanent. The unwanted fat will return to its original location and stay where it is supposed to be.  It normally takes 6 to 8 weeks to see permanent results. However, if a woman ‘ignored’ the need to wear good lingerie over a period of time, her body fat will run again.

You will also realized the importance of wearing a shaping lingerie correctly to see maximum results. If you are unsure of how to wear a piece of Bloom shaping lingerie, go to http://www.ideell.com.my. We have provided step by step guide on how to wear.

By now, you’ll probably be asking how can our body fat ‘migrate’ from one place to another? It is mainly due to insufficient support, incorrect size and fit of current lingerie that pushed the fat away.

In the next article, we will explain more on the “Female Body Fat” and how our fat moved from one location to another. We will also provide guidelines on how to choose a good shaping lingerie in the next few articles.

If your shaping lingerie is your body’s mould, make sure that the mould is the right mould for you!

Shaping Lingerie to regain your pre-pregnancy figure!  Safe and Natural.

Excess weight & fat gains around the hip and belly, loss of firmness around the underarms, signs of sagging breasts, and a figure that is going “out of shape” is a common worry among new mothers.

How do you regain your pre-pregnancy figure, after having your body being stretched for months?

Body Re-shaping within the first 6 months delivers the most promising results. However, we do encourage that you only start wearing the full suite of shaping lingerie from the 3^rd or 4^th weeks onwards. This is to ensure that your internal body organs and functions have returned to normal, before applying external pressure, especially so for birth by caesarean section.

1st week: Body recovery

During pregnancy, hormonal changes cause connective tissue to soften. The muscle and ligaments will be further stretch and strained during labour, rendering your body in a delicate condition in the first week after delivery. Thus, we encourage you to rest well and do some basic post-natal pelvic exercises to speed up your body’s recovery.

2nd Week onwards: Tummy & Hips

Most of your body functions would have returned to normal. Your energy level restored.

Your uterus may have contracted to half the size it was when you went into labour, but the stretched abdominal wall will take longer to recover. As the uterus slowly returns to its normal size, the belly will feel a bit soft.

During this time, the hormone Relaxin is still in your system. It will stay in your system for up to 8 weeks. Relaxin allows pelvic joints and ligaments to soften and expand so baby can pass through the birth canal during recovery. While your pelvic joints and ligaments are still soft, it is crucial that you start providing constant, but gentle pressure to your hips to guide the pelvis back to their pre-pregnancy position. A piece of Girdle, with good elasticity is a good option to re-shape your hip.

The Girdle, coupled with a Waist Nipper, will hold your flabby tummy skin and fat so it doesn’t hang lose, relieving the skin tissue from further downward stress. It provides support the area that has been “injured” during pregnancy and labour, allowing the underlying tissue to heal.

You will experience tender breasts as your breasts grow and begin to fill with milk. Wear a good Nursing Bra that will hold & support your breasts to minimize sag due to the weight.

Remember though that these garments should not be too tight and should be comfortable enough for long period periods of wearing. Look for shaping lingerie made from LYCRA materials. LYCRA is preferred due to its elasticity, which creates more comfortable shaping garments.

3rd Week onwards: Regain your pre-pregnancy figure!

Your internal organs would have been realigned and the post-pregnancy vaginal discharge would have reduced. This is the perfect time to do a full body re-shape.

This is the right time to wear a full shaping suit. The support & constant pressure of the full set of shaping lingerie will increase the intensity of the shaping process. With a complete, full suite of shaping lingerie, you are able to properly shift and hold your body fat, back to the correct position to achieve your ideal figure.

Again, remember that there are many types and brands of Shaping Lingerie in the market. Some key pointers to remember when hunting for good shaping lingerie – Materials, Cutting & Design, Qualified manufacturer, and not to forget, the experience of the Qualified Fitting Consultants.
