LOL.  When I was young, we called them GIRDLES.  They were awful.  Why young people would tolerate this type of garment is beyond me.  I thought the younger generation was smarter than my older generation.  Smarter and all about comfort. 


OMG I remember my mother couldn't wait to go home and take off her girdle.

While Shapermint isn't Skims, shapewear is BIG business and big money is being made.

Like I said, it is over TikTok. Skims and Skims knockoffs are big business. I have seen shapwear on the big A with 18,000 reviews.  Lizzo just came out with a line of Shapwear and it was constantly on my Twitter and Facebook pages. 

 

Personally, if I am spending the money on a nice outfit I am wearing shapewear I don't care how hot it is. I think it just makes you look more polished.

I don't need a shaper - but in warm weather to keep pants from "sticking" to me when I stand up after sitting for a while (e.g. in restaurant, church, bus, etc.) .... I usually wear pantyhose or a pants liner.

 

I have some of those Jockey briefs - but under light fabrics - you can see a line of demarcation.

Did anyone one else hear CK say something about how cute they were (the model was wearing the matching bra) and that you could wear them on their own...whaaaat??!!!

I could be mistaken but I doubt it.

I was quite impressed with the vendor's presentation. She had a lively voice, had a nice sunny disposition, and acted professionally. She is quite pretty.
