They can often be worn discreetly under a short dress, skirt or pants.

The long shorty, also called " bib shorty ", looks exactly like a cyclist. This model is designed to provide support and compression not only in the abdomen, but also in the thighs. This model is particularly useful for women looking to slim their legs while enjoying the traditional sculpting benefits of a shapewear. The long shorty is a versatile option that can be worn under long dresses or pants.

Choose your shorty according to the occasion
Daily: comfort and discretion
For daily use, the shaping shorty is a good alternative to the girdle because it combines comfort and discretion. Opt for models made from soft, breathable fabrics, such as cotton or microfiber, which allow sufficient air circulation and prevent irritation. Discretion is also important to prevent lingerie from leaving unattractive marks under your clothes. Seamless or fine-edged styles are ideal for everyday wear, as they blend easily under your outfits without creating demarcations.
