Website Spotlight: Durafits

 I recently found out about Durafits shapewear. I don't use shapewear myself, but I've always been impressed with how quickly it can change someone's appearance, and curious about how it feels. If you're using shapewear, it's important to consider several different aspects - the fit, the quality, the color, and the design.

Shapewear needs to fit well. If it's too tight, it won't be comfortable; if it's too big, it won't adequately provide the control you need. It's also important to find shapewear that is the appropriate quality. If you're only using it occasionally, you might be able to use a lower-quality shapewear. However, if you're using it a lot, it will be worth it to invest in higher-quality pieces.

Color can make a difference in shapewear as well. The shapewear bodysuit pictured here comes in two different colors, black and nude (which is not really accurately named, but as far as colors go people understand the rough shade it implies). You can find shapewear to match nearly every skin tone, to help it blend in just in case it accidentally peeks out from under clothes. You can also choose shapewear with different colors to help it blend in better underneath clothes or if you're feeling really bold, you can even find shapewear in bright colors.

The design is important too. Shapewear can be found for any area of the body, or for full-body coverage. It's available for women of all sizes, including this plus size shapewear bodysuit pictured at left. Besides the specific area of control, different shapewear is designed with different levels of coverage, different types of straps, and many other features, so if you've tried shapewear before and it hasn't quite worked, you can always try a different design to see if it suits you better.

If you are going to try shapewear, my policy is never to pay full price - and Durafits is running several sales and promotions now, so it's a good time to see how it compares to the shapewear you normally buy. They allow for exchanges, and you can also contact them to help you find the shapewear that's right for you.
