American ShapewearFind your most beautiful look with Rago Shapewear foundation and body shaping garments and lingerie using these important shapewear tips:

  • To learn how to use/wear shapewear, first decide which style is best for your body and what areas you wish to target.
  • Consider your comfort level by looking at the control level of the garment (See below for more on levels of control).
  • Get the right fit. You may be tempted to buy a smaller size in shapewear to look smaller but shapewear that is too small will be difficult to wear for long periods of time and may affect breathing and movement. Instead, find shapewear size that will fit to the proper measurements of your body. Rago Shapewear offers detailed size charts for each garment so that you get just the right fit.
  • Look for the right fabric. If you live in a warmer climate, consider cotton or similar fabrics.
  • Think about the features of the garment. Look for features that will serve those areas of your body you want to focus on for support and shaping.
  • Don't settle for ill-fitting shapewear. If your shapewear does not stay in place or begins to roll down from your waist or bunch up on your legs, try another size.
