How to Care for Your Shapewear So It Lasts Longer

Care guide for Shapewear

Investing in quality shapewear like those from Shapemour means you want it to last. With proper care, your favorite tummy tuckers, bodysuits, and high-waist shorts can stay supportive and effective for a long time. Here’s how to treat them right:

1. Hand Wash Only

Shapewear is made from delicate yet powerful materials like polyamide, elastane, nylon, and spandex. Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent to prevent damage.

2. Avoid Heat

Never use hot water or a dryer. Always air dry flat in a shaded area to maintain elasticity and shape.

3. Wash After Every Wear

Since shapewear sits close to the skin, wash it after each wear to remove sweat and bacteria. This also keeps the fabric fresh and hygienic.

4. Don’t Wring or Twist

Instead of wringing your shapewear, gently press the water out with a towel. Twisting can distort its structure and reduce compression.

5. Rotate Between Multiple Pieces

Extend your shapewear’s lifespan by rotating between 2-3 pieces. For example, alternate between your Shapemour thong bodysuit, high waist shorts, and mid-thigh bodysuit.

By following these simple steps, your Shapemour shapewear will continue to provide the smooth, sculpted support you love—wear after wear.
