Since most of us aren't blessed with the "perfect" (whatever that means to you) shape, shapewear is a fashion fix that loads of ladies swear by. Lumps and bumps are smoothed and sucked in thanks to the figure-flattering, flesh-flattening undergarments. Many of these pieces - while they do the trick – can be super-uncomfortable, some to the point of downright painful. But a sleek and shapely silhouette shouldn't have to be ouch-inducing. These super shapewear finds are functional and freeing. No squeezing...how pleasing!
