I've spoken about the Belvia Bra before and even now, I still find myself reaching for it daily as it's so comfortable. And new to their range is the Belvia Shapewear. I've been trying this out for a while now and I've tried it out in many different 'conditions' and finally, I'm ready to tell you my thoughts!
There are three different products available in the Belvia Shapewear range. The Belvia Shapewear Top (£14.99),* the Belvia Shapewear Slimming Briefs (£14.99)* and the Belvia Shapewear Bodysuit (£19.99). The bodysuit targets your waist, hips, stomachs, sides, bottom, back and under your bust. It cuts out around the breast area so you can wear your bra as normal without any bumps at the back. I haven't personally tried this out but I keep looking at it and it's something that I'm definitely thinking about getting. Especially seeing as the other products in the range are so wonderful...
Belvia Shapewear Slimming Briefs - £14.99*
These briefs target your waist, stomach, bottom, hips and hides and they hide and a conceal bumps and bulges to ensure that you have beautiful, contoured curves. The thing that I love the most about these briefs is that the fabric doesn't roll down like a lot of shapewear products do. Once these are on, they aren't moving until you take them off. Despite this, the material is very breathable and it doesn't grasp your skin so tightly that it's uncomfortable. In fact, I find these very comfortable and for the most part, I don't even notice that I'm wearing them. They're completely discreet underneath clothing and they don't leave any nasty VPL!
Belvia Shapewear Top - £14.99*
The top targets your waist, stomach, hips, back and sides. Once again, like the briefs, this top stays down and doesn't roll up throughout the day. I've tested this top (and the briefs) during exercise, at work, sitting around the house, running everyday errands and still, they do not move. This is also very comfortable and the fabric is breathable. The straps don't dig into the skin and like the briefs, this top goes unnoticeable underneath clothing. I was worried about this top because originally I thought that it would sort of, 'mask down' my chest area and make it look flat and quite bulgy but it didn't at it. It skimmed over it and it also helped to make my chest look 'more pert' which is always a plus!
If I had to choose between the two, I don't think I'd be able to. Mainly because it depends on what type of clothing you wear. In my recent Freshers Week post I was wearing one of these products in every outfit. And as you can see, I wouldn't be able to wear the shapewear top with this outfit as you'd be able to see it over the top of the playsuit. So it does completely depend on what type of clothing you wear.
The items come in sizes Small (UK 10-12), Medium (UK 14-16) and Large (UK 18-20) and mine are in the size small. Each item comes in either black, white or beige. I've found myself wearing these pretty much every single day since receiving them and now, they're just like extra pieces of clothing. They slim you down and they really do create the perfect silhouette whilst still being comfortable. And I can't wait to wear them in Freshers Week! Have you tried this shapewear out before? Will you be doing so?
