How to Keep Shapewear from Rolling Down

Learn how to keep your shapewear in place with Yummie’s expert tips! From choosing the right size to selecting the correct style, our guide will help you pick the best tummy control shapewear that is less likely to roll down, ensuring all-day comfort and support.

 

Size Matters

Ditch the myth that you need to size down. A “the-tighter-the-better” mentality can lead to shapewear that bunches and contracts because it’s too small and too tight on your body. This creates lumps and bumps from overflow where the shapewear is overly compressing you, the opposite of the smooth curves you’re looking for.

 

Pick for Stick

Shapewear tends to be made from very stretchy materials that are constantly fighting to return to their un-stretched state. The best shapewear that doesn’t roll down has design features to combat this contraction, like straps or sticky silicone strips. 

Silicone strips grip your skin to keep shapewear from riding and rolling. Every item in Yummie’s Seamless Solutions line includes silicone waistbands to lock the high waist just under the bra line. This gives you peace of mind to enjoy their all-over firm shaping and all-day comfort.

Peep the Inseam

To learn how to stop shapewear from rolling, check out the leg hem – a longer leg hem means more coverage and can minimize the likelihood of rolling. Pair with a silicone band at the hem and you’re ready for anything! Our Ultralight Shapewear Short delivers light shaping, a wide tummy-smoothing waistband, and comfortable sideseam-free construction. (While our Ultralight Shapewear Slip Short has a slightly longer inseam and taller leg hem, it does not contain a silicone strip). Our Bustless Zoned Shapewear Slip has adjustable straps and an open bust – all the no-slip properties of a bodysuit without having to worry about chest compression, in addition to a silicone-lined hem.

 

Our Bria Shapewear Short is selling fast, and no wonder: it offers graduated control from the waist to tummy for your smoothest fit yet, while ruching at the back gives you a perkier-looking tush.

 

Get a Gusset

Have you ever had a shapewear look great in your bedroom and…not so great after you tug it back on following a bathroom break? Avoid stretching out your garment (and guesswork bathroom placement) by choosing a piece with a gusset – a folded or snapped opening at the crotch that makes bathroom breaks a whole lot easier. Our Bella Shapewear Bodysuit has a double snap gusset that also lets you adjust the fit. It’s got firm shaping and engineered bustline support with a brief back. Our Ivy Shapewear Bodysuit has a thong back and a top that’s a tank in disguise – layer it under sweaters and blouses or wear it on its own as a top.

 

For any piece of shapewear, make sure you wash it according to the instructions – improper washing can stretch fibers and elastics resulting in a less snug fit.
