The Problem Isn’t You - It’s Your Shapewear
Why Isn’t the Shapewear You Bought to Sculpt Your Figure Working?
Stay until the end because I’m about to reveal 7 mistakes that ruin your results.
The Problem Isn’t You - It’s Your Shapewear
A staggering 68% of women who wear shapewear don’t get their desired results due to avoidable mistakes (MarketWatch, 2023). But that’s not all—23% experience physical discomfort (lower back pain, digestive issues) from wearing the wrong size or materials (Journal of Textile Science, 2022).
At Forma Tu Cuerpo Shapewear, we’ve analyzed thousands of cases and identified 7 critical mistakes that sabotage your experience. Below, we reveal how to fix them and maximize your investment.
1. Choosing a Smaller Size "For a More Dramatic Effect"
Myth: "If it’s tighter, I’ll slim down faster - that’s what I want."
Truth: Oversized compression squeezes your diaphragm, causing dizziness and acid reflux (Clinical Gastroenterology, 2023). It also crushes organs, worsening digestion and leading to rebound sagging.
So, what’s the solution?
Choose your size based on your current measurements - not your goal.
We specialize in guiding our clients - it’s not just about S, M, or L. You need to understand your exact size and needs.
2. Ignoring Compression Levels
Not all shapewear applies the same pressure. Bodies vary, and generic sizing fails when people don’t realize everybody is unique.
3. Using Non-Breathable Materials
Common mistake: Buying low-cost polyester shapewear that:
Traps heat (increasing fluid retention)
Irritates skin (causing dermatitis from poor ventilation, Journal of Dermatology, 2023)
Forma Tu Cuerpo Solution:
Bamboo & vitamin E-infused fabrics (antibacterial & temperature-regulating).
4. Not Considering Your Body Type
The most common shapewear needs:
Apple shape: Needs abdominal support.
Pear shape: Requires hip/thigh control.
Hourglass: Seeks waist definition.
5. Prioritizing Price Over Quality
Shocking fact: 90% of cheap shapewear fails within 3 months (Consumer Reports, 2023).
Forma Tu Cuerpo Advantage:
1-year warranty on seams & materials.
Lasts 3x longer than budget brands.
3 Shapewear Myths vs. Facts
Myth: "Sweating more in shapewear burns fat."
Fact: You only lose water weight - not fat (American Council on Exercise, 2023).
Myth: "I can wear it 24/7 for better results."
Fact: Overuse weakens muscles (Spine Health Institute, 2023).
Myth: "All shapewear is the same."
Fact: Medical-grade shapewear (like ours) improves posture & circulation.
