And because of that specific concern, we focus on choosing the most high-quality fabrics and best property materials for our shapers, and you can feel the difference from the first wear. The difference between a regular shaper and a CYSM one is that:
- They allow airflow through their structure
- Recovers its shape after manipulation and it doesn't lose thickness
- Creates a microclimate due to the space formed inside, allowing the moisture to be transported to the outside
- It doesn’t deform with frequent washing

However, ​​You can extend the life of your garments, & maintain their original shape; by following our garment care recommendations, which are based on our Shapewear industry-insight.
