Best Plus Size Shapewear for Tummy Control | Spanx® Guide

Écrit par Karen Robbins

Finding the best plus size shapewear shouldn’t feel like squeezing into something that doesn’t fit—literally or figuratively. Whether you're dressing up for a wedding, heading into a boardroom, or just want everyday comfort with a little extra smoothing, we’ve got your curves (and your core) covered. This guide breaks down the top Spanx styles engineered to flatten the tummy, enhance your natural silhouette, and keep you cool and anti-chafe. Let’s dive into the world of tummy-control shapewear that works with your body, not against it.

What to Look for in Plus Size Shapewear for Tummy Control

When shopping for shapewear that smooths the stomach without sacrificing comfort, focus on these must-have features:

  • Targeted Compression: Built-in tummy panels that sculpt without squeezing
  • Breathability: Fabrics that wick moisture and allow airflow
  • Anti-Chafe Protection: Especially in mid-thigh lengths —your thighs will thank you
  • Bonded Seams: Say goodbye to rolling, digging, or bulging
  • Compression Options: From gentle smoothing to firm sculpting (thanks, SPANXeffect™)
