The SPANX Guide to Lightweight, Breathable Shapewear
Ever worn shapewear that felt more like medieval armor than a style upgrade? Yeah, we’ve all been there—trapped in something so thick and stifling that you start counting down the minutes until you can undress.
Your shapewear shouldn’t feel like a sauna suit. That’s where the SPANX Invisible Shaping collection comes in. From bodysuits to briefs, these ultra-thin base layers give you the feeling of being "held in" and smoothed without any intense compression that traditional shapewear is known for.
In this guide, we’ll give you the scoop on the science behind the SPANX Invisible Shapewear collection and break down six pieces that deserve a spot in your daily rotation.
What Makes SPANX Invisible Shapewear Breathable?
SPANX Invisible Shapewear is so lightweight you’ll forget you’re wearing it. Our secret? It’s all in the tech.
We crafted these pieces with single-layer Printed Power® shaping technology, which sounds fancy because it is. This tech delivers targeted shaping power without any unnecessary bulk. Think of it as a sleek, no-nonsense approach to holding you in where it counts, without adding an extra layer of discomfort.
And then there’s LYCRA® FitSense™—a patented coating that creates a bit of extra hold in key areas while eliminating the need for heavy fabrics or sewn-in panels. Think of it as a second skin that provides shaping and lift without compromising on comfort.
This combo means our shapewear moves with you, not against you, keeping things breezy and ridiculously easy to wear all day long.
