Buying guide / Shapewear

Choose the coverage.
Check the fit.

Compare two CYSM styles around the areas you want covered and the fit details worth checking first.

Your quickest starting point

Choose by coverage.

Three-quarter sleeves to mid-thigh

Shoppers who want one garment with arm, waist and thigh coverage

Compare first if: Torso length, adjustable shoulder straps or lower cost matters most

Arms and upper back

Shoppers who want arm and upper-back coverage without a full bodysuit

Compare first if: Garment length often causes fit issues for you, or you need verified medical compression

Compare the measurements for the areas each garment covers with its size guide. Your usual clothing size is only a starting point.

Look at sleeve ends, straps and closures. Coverage and adjustability only help if the garment feels right when you sit and move.
