Best Overall

Control: Medium

Sizes: XXS-5XL

Shapewear should support, contour and smoothen your shape while providing all-day comfort. According to hundreds of Amazon reviews, SHAPERX's bodysuit checks all those boxes, and more.

With a broad size range of XXS-5XL and a mesh bra to support and hold all bust sizes comfortably, this bodysuit is great for all body types. Unlike the traditional tight, body-hugging shapewear, this bodysuit is constructed with a stretchy and breathable nylon and spandex fabric, making it comfortable enough to wear all day. And with many reviewers raving about its tank top design, you can wear this shapewear casually with jeans and shorts. One reviewer says: ''This is the best shaper I ever bought. Sliming and comfortable, Highly recommend!''

Buy if: You want a seamless option

Best Full Body

Control: Medium

Sizes: XS-5XL

Want to sculpt your curves, lift your bottom, and smoothen out any lumps or bumps? Consider this full-body shaper. Known to be a SKIMS alternative, the FeelinGirl Full Body Suit brings in your waist, flattens the stomach, and smoothens out your back fat. Stopping mid-thigh, this garment also doubles as shapewear shorts, leaving your thighs tightened and chafe-free.

Some reviews say it's better to wear the bodysuit with a bra for more support. It's a longer piece than some of the other ones on our list, so if you're new to shapewear and still wondering what design you need, check out our guide on how to wear shapewear.

Best Strapless

Control: Medium

Sizes: XXS-5XL

If you want to wear halter tops and strapless dresses without visible bra straps, this strapless and seamless bodysuit is the perfect option, giving you a smooth, polished finish. With lots of five star reviews, this undergarment supports and squeezes you in all the right places while giving you all-day comfort.

Unlike traditional half-bras that always slide down and don't give you the best lift or support, based on reviews, this strapless one-piece stays up and holds everything together. This is well-loved by customers, one reviewer advises ''the quality is amazing, it sucks you in without being uncomfortable, and you can’t beat the price especially for what you get.''

Best Thong

Control: Medium

Sizes: S-3XL

If a bodysuit or shorts aren't your ideal shapewear, consider adding these seamless shapewear pants to your Amazon cart. They give you the same tummy control and waist-cinching effect as a full bodysuit and slip shapewear but with way less fabric.

The best part about shapewear thongs is that you don't have to worry about VPL - even in the most fitted dress. One reviewer wrote "Ordered this to go under my wedding dress as a last resort as was struggling to find elsewhere. Wasnt expecting much but it was great. Very comfortable and a good fit. I didn't feel restricted after eating and manage wore all-day without feeling uncomfortable. Very impressed with this product."

Best High Waisted

Control: Medium

Sizes: S-4XL

High waisted shapewear goes beyond flattening the stomach. It also supports the back and smoothens any areas of your back that you're self-conscious about. And it's a plus if they don't roll down. That's why we included these SHAPERMINT shaper shorts - they check off every box.

With more than 62,000 ratings and being an Amazon bestseller, we're confident these will give your curves the sculpt they need and the tummy control you desire. Plus, with these shorts stopping mid-thigh, according to reviews, your thighs will be supported as well. These are brilliant for wearing under a dress, with one reviewer saying: ''these are very stable and don't roll down, thanks to the silicone band.''

Buy if: You want back support and an impressive colour range

Avoid if: You want to wear shorter skirts

Best Light Control

Control: Light-medium

Sizes: XS-XL

Made from a cotton blend and with a double layer waistband, these are the perfect blend of comfort and control. There are four different colour options available, and they're designed to wear all day, rather than just for an occasion.

Several reviewers wrote about how comfortable these briefs are, and how they hold you in without feeling suffocated. And if you're not a fan of cheeky shapewear, these panties are full-coverage.

Buy if: You need some subtle smoothing

Avoid if: You're looking for serious shaping

Best Waist Slimmer

Control: Medium-firm

Sizes: XS-4XL

Based on over 15,000 Amazon reviews, these shapewear shorts flatten the stomach, bring in your waistline, and are the perfect undergarment for dresses. They're essentially the best shapewear and the best anti-chafing shorts rolled into one. The shorts are stretchy and breathable but run small and the brand recommends sizing up. This has been a well-loved choice amongst buyers, with one calling it: ''the most comfortable and effective shapewear I have''.

Finding quality shapewear that's seamless and doesn't roll down is hard to come by. Fortunately, these shorts are constructed with four steel-like brackets that keep the garment up on your waist.

Buy if: You want a smooth, slimmer waist

Avoid if: The texture of the shorts might show up under slinkier dresses

Best Slip

Control: Firm

Sizes: XS-XL

This shapewear slip has a firm fit that pulls everything in and smooths out any bumps under your clothing. And it has an open-bust design, allowing you to wear your best bra with it.

This slip is the perfect undergarment to wear underneath fitted dresses. It brings in your waist, flattens your stomach, and gives you a slimmer appearance. If you need a bit of a confidence boost, this slip is a great alternative to dresses to hide a tummy. woman&home's Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr is a big fan too: ''Spanx really is the best in the business, and there's a reason it's the first brand that springs to mind when you think of shapewear. A slip is brilliant for underneath dresses, as it gives you that smoothing effect, but in my opinion is much more comfortable than shorts or a bodysuit.''

Buy if: You want shapewear with a plunging neckline

Avoid if: You struggle with chafing

Best Firm Control

Control: Firm

Sizes: S-XXL

Nothing is worse than bulky shapewear that shows through your clothing. This seamless body shaper has a short-like bottom that can be worn under jeans, shorts, and dresses while supporting and contouring your top half. These have outstanding reviews, with one commenting, ''Perfect product. Out of all the shapewear I have tried this is by far the best. Snug, smooth and made from great material. I’m a 14 and bought a large. Feels flawless on!''

This SHAPERX bodysuit is constructed with three firm layers that all work to give you a slimming and snatched waist. And its open, U-shaped bust allows you to wear your favourite bra, whether that's your best strapless bra or regular bra.
