Are you choosing the right shapewear for tummy control? If not, then let me help you. I’m sharing some of my favorite plus size shapewear that helps me to slay my outfits with confidence. As a plus size woman with a fupa, I’ve tested numerous shapewear styles.
I’ve come across a handful of shapewear that actually lifted my fupa, sucked it in, and smoothed out my cellulite. So, today, I’m sharing my top plus size shapewear picks that worked for me. And can work for you too.
I’ve always believed that All shapewear is not created equal. And contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be plus size to wear shapewear. In addition, shapewear is not just for snatching waists. You can use shapewear for smoothing cellulite. Especially when wearing fabrics like satin, silk, or a thin jersey knit.
And if you have thick thighs or a booty that jiggles, shapewear can help to minimize the amount of jiggle. And help with lifting your butt. There’s even shapewear that offers light to moderate control. So you’re not wrestling with yourself just to get the shapewear on.
DISCLAIMER
You do not have to wear shapewear and no one is forcing you to. You can wear whatever you want, whichever way you want. There is nothing wrong with body jiggle and there is nothing wrong with lumps and bumps. As women, we all have one or the other or both.

Tummy Control Plus Size Shapewear
For bodycon dresses & skirts
When it comes to choosing the right shapewear for your outfits, think about your needs in that particular outfit.
- Do you just need something to smooth out your cellulite and minimize any jiggling?
- Are you looking for something to lift your butt and slim your thighs?
- Or do you need shaperwear to minimize your tummy?
Everyone wears shapewear for many reasons. Let me share mine. I choose shapewear whenever I wear a bodycon dress or skirt. I like my shapewear to help minimize my mid section and smooth out my cellulite. Especially when I wear something bodycon.
One of my favorite styles of shapewear are shaper shorts. I carry most of my weight in my midsection and behind. Which is why I’m always looking to smooth and minimize that area.
One of my favorite shapewear shorts are MOVWIN Tummy Control Shapewear for Women . This shapewear is perfect for women with an apron belly because it lifts. It has a criss cross panel in the front that lifts and holds up an apron belly.
Size Range: Small-5X (see the try on below)
Below is a photo a before and after photo of me in the shapewear.
I love these shaper shorts because they are high waisted, butt lifting, and thigh slimming. Whenever I put them on, they make a significant difference. In addition, they come with a panty lining. The only thing they’re missing is an open gusset.
As you can see in the above photo, the shapewear lifted my butt, held in my tummy, and smoothed out the cellulite around the back of my thighs and butt.
In the front you can see the tummy control from the shapewear. It minimized my waistline. While lifting my apron belly.

Alternative shapewear for bodycon dresses is a tummy control shapewear bodysuit.

This style of shapewear has adjustable spaghetti straps. It helps to smooth out any lower back rolls, plus, It comes with an open gusset. And it gives more of a seamless smoothing effect from your chest down.
Another pair of shaper shorts that I like for wearing under pants are the SPANXsculpt Seamless Power High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short Size Range: 1X-3X.
These really help with smoothing. And they give a significant amount of tummy control. Just look at the difference in the photo below. I’m wearing a bodycon skirt. Spanx sculpt not lifted my apron belly while smoothing it out and cinching in my waistline.
Now look at the difference in the side profile. You can see how the Spanx sculpt shorts minimizes my backside. As well and lifting my tummy. All while creating a more shapely figure.
PLUS SIZE BODY SHAPING SLIPS
If you’re wearing a fit and flare dress or a body skimming dress or skirt, then I recommend a smoothing shapewear slip dress.
This type of shapewear provides moderate smoothing and compression. And helps if you’re trying to minimize body jiggle. If you love your curves, this helps to still maintain your shapely figure.
Torrid Seamless Smoothing Slip Dress
A shapewear slip dress also helps clothing to not cling to your rolls. It’s easy to move in without feeling restricted.
I have a shapewear slip dress from an old brand called Yummie Tummy. It is no longer available, but I just wanted to show you the slight difference a slip dress can make. Especially when you’re looking for light to moderate tummy control. Shapewear slips can also smooth your back rolls.
Below is a photo of me in the Yummie Tummy Slip Dress. No longer available, but you can see the difference.
Another slip dress option you can checkout is from Yitty shapewear.
Let’s talk about shapewear for shorts and pants
Shapewear for pants is not necessarily about sucking in your tummy. Its more about smoothing to help the pants lay right and flow easily when you walk.However this type of shapewear has moderate control.
For light control and smoothing under pants, I love the Yitty Mesh shaper shorts. They have moisture wicking fabric. And you can also get them in a midi length. Since they have moderate control, its makes it a lot easier to go to the bathroom in. You’re not wrestling with yourself to get them down.
I wear these under linen pants or satin pants for the smoothing effect and they don’t cling.
Footless Shapewear Leggings
Perfect for jumpsuits, extra coverage for leggings, especially if you have sheer leggings or leggings with no control, and for smoothing under pants.
With footless shapewear leggings, you get light to moderate tummy control when wearing pants.
MD Shapewear Footless Leggings Sizes: XS-5X
