If you are “in the know,” you’ve probably heard that girdles have taken on a brand new shape in recent times. Instead of the bulky, and unattractive controlling underwear that was always available, controlling underwear took on a new shape in the late 90′s. Instead of calling them girdles, the proper term for this type of clothing is now: women’s body shapers.

This is not the only thing that is new in the world of body shapers. You can find women’s body shapers as stand-alone items for sale– like shorts, tanks or extended bras.

Because of the free, and easy nature of a lot of the body shapers on the market today, we will find women’s body shapers integrated into tank tops, bathing suits, bikinis, boy shorts, jeans, and much more.

The girdles of the past always had a lot of boning, and very rigid structuring. The body shapers of today, are made of breathable, and stretchable acrylic, silk and cotton blends. They are comfortable to wear under many styles of clothing, and many famous models and actresses are proud of the fact that they wear body shapers from time to time.
