How Today’s Shaping Essentials Are Making Moms’ Lives Easier

Shapewear has come a long way from the stiff, once-a-year pieces worn only to weddings and special events. It has evolved into something more wearable — and, surprisingly, even helpful — for all women, moms and moms-to-be included. What was once seen as purely aesthetic (and often uncomfortable) has evolved into an everyday essential that can even help expecting mothers during their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. And how so? Shapermint knows the answer.

The brand, which has been shaping confidence for seven years now, has a clear mission: to empower every body to embrace their confidence, regardless of body type, size, or lifestyle. That’s why their shaping essentials are created with real bodies in mind: bodies that move, change, and carry a lot through each day. Better yet, they’re just as accessible as they are flattering.

Mom life means there’s little time to stop and think about shape-enhancing garments, but it doesn’t mean style isn’t important, and Shapermint gets it. That’s why they create everyday, all-day comfort pieces that work as your favorite daily essentials, but with smoothing benefits you don't get from standard basics. Take their smoothing leggings, for example. From ultra high-waisted sculpting leggings that are easy to pair with your favorite t-shirts, to classic jeggings and active leggings for long walks or busy days, every style is made to move with you and your life.

When in need of a bra rotation upgrade, their wireless bras are a great choice, perfect for ditching the old, poking underwire bras in your top drawer. Their full-coverage designs with wide bands are one more reason to love them, because of the smooth silhouette they create.

And because motherhood is as demanding as it is beautiful, Shapermint’s Maternity collection was created to cater to the needs of expecting mothers, including nursing bras and camis, as well as belly support shorts and leggings. These styles provide gentle support, which can help your body to feel at ease as it adjusts and recovers.

With over 12 million customers and a diverse community of brand ambassadors and creators, Shapermint continues to champion body positivity through comfort-first shaping essentials, empowering all women to join the confidence movement. Whether you’re a longtime fan or trying shapewear for the first time, today’s options make it easier than ever to embrace your shape, and feel amazing doing it.
