What nobody fully prepared me for after delivering my first baby was that your belly does not magically pop back into shape right away (and if yours did, please pretend it didn’t – for my sanity!). No, there are these weeks of what I call “pizza dough belly” as my body slowly readjusted to not having a baby inside it. Not so attractive underneath clothing!
So… this time I have two great undergarments to help me combat the “dough-belly” effect. The Wink Ultimate Belly & Hip Shaper and Wink Booty Shaper Shorts! Wink Shapeware has a great lineup of slimming undergarments, made from medical grade material to compress your shape.
Here’s what makes Wink Shapewear stand out from the rest:
-
consistent level of compression
-
comfort – not itchy or warm to wear
-
ability to adjust – 6 layers of hook and eye closures
-
long enough to cover and compress hips
-
not bulky under clothes
I am excited about these features, as compression clothing I’ve tried in the past was frankly more uncomfortable than it was worth! Plus, just from examining the samples I was sent for review – the fabric is soft, silky and feels breathable so I can see how these would be comfortable!
Wink Ultimate Belly & Hip Shaper is a great answer for post-partum or post surgery recovery. It’s longer than the average compression band, extending below the hip. You get compression at the waist and hip, compressing and shrinking your belly up to TWO SIZES! And there is a top and bottom elastic band to secure the Shaper so it doesn’t ride up when you sit down.
The breathable fabric has six panels of hook/eye closures so you can keep adjusting as your size goes down. But don’t just use this for post-partum – these are everyday garments any woman can wear for a slimmer, toned look with Wink Shapewear!
I’m also going to review (and give away!) the Wink Booty Shaper Shorts after I give birth (just 7 weeks!). I want to wait to show the full effect, but I know so many pregnant or new moms, I couldn’t wait to share the Wink brand of shapewear with you!
BUY IT: Wink’s Ultimate Belly & Hip Shaper comes in two colors (black, nude) and 3 sizes (XS/S, M/L, XL/XXL). Retails for $54.99. Wink also carries tanks, capris, yoga pants, and men’s compression clothing! Follow them on Facebook and Twitter!
