Full Body Shaper or Waist Corset: Which Gives the Best Result?
Both a full body shaper and a waist corset give you a slimmer waist, but they work differently. One smooths your whole silhouette; the other focuses on the waist. Here's how to decide.
Full body shaper (bodysuit)
A one-piece shaper from the chest to mid-thigh. It controls the tummy, waist, back, hips and thighs, and often lifts the bust.
- Result: the smoothest overall silhouette, with no lines at the waist.
- Best for: fitted and evening dresses, weddings and occasions.
- Consider: it's more fabric, so it's warmer, and bathroom breaks take longer unless it has an opening.
- Examples: the Lupo Full Body Shaper with Bra and the Lupo Slim Full Body Bodysuit.
Waist corset
Focused, firm control around the waist and tummy, worn with your own bra and underwear.
- Result: the most defined waist, for an hourglass shape.
- Best for: blouses, belted dresses and high-waisted trousers or skirts.
- Consider: it doesn't shape the hips or thighs, so pair it with a short or bermuda if you need that.
- Examples: the Lupo Slim Waist Trainer Corset and the Lupo Waist Corset with Thong.

Our advice
If you'll only buy one piece for a special occasion, choose a full body shaper. If your main goal is a smaller-looking waist for everyday outfits, choose a waist corset. Either way, choose your real size using the size guide; sizing down won't give a better result.
