What is the difference between slimming down and body shaping? |
Body shaping" and "slimming down" are two issues. The former refers to shaping a perfect curve and body, while the latter means losing weight. There is no perfect way to slim down. Slimming down requires a healthy diet control and exercise. However, it's hard to find time and determination for a workout. Gym visits usually stop shortly after you pay for a gym membership. Diet control is even more challenging, for it's troublesome to count calories per meal and painful to resist delicious food. Even though you go through these trials and reach your ideal weight, you may not be very satisfied, because the place that should be slim is not slim, but the place that should not be thin is thinner. Or you just change from a big pear shape to a smaller one. So what exactly is the problem? Everyone has a different fat distribution. It is difficult to control the growth of fat through drugs, workouts, or diet. What's more, aging, slower metabolism, out of shape because of gravity, postpartum hip change, poor posture or genetic factors make it harder to get slim in some parts, such as arms, thighs, etc. Finally, we still need assistive devices like shapewear to help. Otherwise, we can only rely on surgical liposuction. Both have their pros and cons. It takes patience and time to wear shapewear. Liposuction is fast, but it is invasive with side effects like pain, inflammation, and fat calcification, and it costs more. For people who are overweight or with BMI indicating obesity, it is healthier to lose weight first, of course. Once they reach the standard weight, they can choose tailor-made shapewear to shape their body. After two to three months, they are sure to have a smooth contour with golden ratio proportions. We have to fully understand every way to slim down/shape our bodies and choose wisely without taking diet pills casually. Only then can we become smart and healthy modern women! |
Can shapewear really help to slim down? |
According to research, elastic garments provide full pulling force to keep the spine in a more correct position. As a result, they effectively help to prevent slouching and stop other spine problems from deteriorating, as well as maintaining an elegant and healthy posture. People who choose to wear high-elastic shapewear consume more calories than those without shapewear when doing daily activities. So slimming down is an additional benefit. Shapewear mainly uses constant physical pressure to relocate fat cells to the required places. The fat cells can even become smaller to sculpt the body. Therefore, the shapewear alone can only make limited effects on slimming down. Diet control and exercise are still necessary for losing weight. |
Why do I choose tailor-made shapewear? |
From the perspective of medicine, except for invasive methods like liposuction, tailor-made shapewear is a strikingly efficient assistive tool to shape or maintain body curves. Tailor-made shapewear can shape your body to an ideal golden ratio without worrying blood circulation, metabolism, bruises, or dull skin. However, since each one has a different skeleton, distribution of fat and muscle, it is advised to choose tailored-made shapewear if budget permits. In addition to better results, tailor-made shapewear also solves annoying problems by providing customer service and alterations, etc. Shapewear is a smart bargain to choose from |
How do I choose shapewear? |
Tracing back the development of shapewear underwear, we see that shapewear gradually becomes elastic ones mainly because of health considerations. Clinical studies have shown that the shapewear has to be worn 6-8 hours a day, for 2-3 months in a row to have visible effects. So the key to success is wearing it and wearing it long. Elastic fabrics strike a balance between providing pressure and not affecting blood circulation, so elastic shapewear is suitable for long periods. Non-elastic fabrics are ideal for corsets to shape the body for a short while. Fat cells are alive, and we spend time waiting for the cells to get smaller. Slowly the cells die, shrink, and migrate. Never rush the process! |
Is the rule |
Everyone feels "tight" in not exactly the same way, but we shall not think tighter shapewear is better even though we are eager to see results. The elasticity and pressure of the 560 Den fabric are very strong. It is recommended to wear the shapewear that is measured precisely and "exactly fit." The right way is to shape your body in the coziest way without burden. |
Why does HEBEN choose 560D elastic fabric? |
Human bodies vary greatly. "Non" tailor-made shapewear can only be made of moderate elastic fabrics like 300~400D ones, so its effect is quite limited. Tailor-made shapewear features the one and only template exclusively made for the person, so it can be made of 560D high elastic fabric. 560D high elastic fabric provides fat cells with enough physical pressure to facilitate fat burning and metabolism. That's why it brings about the best effects on body shaping. The fabric also lasts longer, which makes it the best bargain. However, if the high elastic fabric is not measured precisely or made properly, it may harm the body. So it is essential to choose a shapewear team with medical expertise and experienced dressmakers! In addition, garments made of 560D elastic fabric come in various elasticity, thickness, comfort and breathability because they are made with different elastic fibers and weaving methods. Therefore, the best way is to try on the shapewear by yourself to make sure you can wear it for long hours. |
It's getting hotter and hotter in summer. I'm not sure if I can stay in the shapewear. |
As long as you pick the right fabric, you can wear shapewear in summer! Studies have shown that shapewear has to be worn for 2 to 3 months in a row and 6-8 hours per day to make successful body-sculpting. However, it is sultry and scorching in summer. Many people worry that they waste money buying shapewear that they can't wear long. In fact, whether the shapewear can be worn for long hours depends on its material. Some imported high-tech materials are even cooler and more breathable than ordinary undergarments or T-shirts. The most frequently encountered problem is: The fabrics of shapewear look similar. It's challenging to distinguish unless one tries the shapewear on in person and understand its touch and design by herself. In addition to the high elasticity, the elastic fabric used in good shapewear should be breathable and comfortable. Elastic fabric is completely non-absorbent, so heat from the human body disperses directly. But the thicker the fabric, the longer it takes to remove the heat. And of course, the more stuffy it is. Thanks to the ever-changing technology, the imported medical elastic fabric now maintains high elasticity but is only half the thickness of traditional ones. Even a burned patient can wear it for 24 hours a day without chafing the skin. In fact, it is more breathable and cooler than ordinary cotton underwear. Many moms responded that they felt cozy when wearing HEBEN's shapewear in Pingtung, where it reached more than 30 degrees Celsius in summer. So please rest assured that you can still wear HEBEN's shapewear for body sculpting in summer. |
Can I sleep in shapewear? |
It is not recommended to sleep in shapewear! Compared with liposuction, shapewear is a non-invasive way to shape the body. Based on biological and physical principles, shapewear applies stable pressure on the skin. Applying long-term pressure, shapewear affects fat metabolism and calorie consumption in daily activities, allowing fat cells to rearrange and regenerate. Tailor-made shapewear with precise production controls the pressure to be the most suitable. It can minimize the impact on human blood circulation and skin. But it should be worn for 6-8 hours at most a day. Just like a person can't do any sport for too long, it is still necessary to give the body some time to rest. Patience and perseverance make body-shaping a beautiful and healthy process. |
