Use the slimming sheath correctly
Wearing a girdle: techniques for putting on the girdle while avoiding wrinkles and discomfort
To put on a slimming sheath properly, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Make sure your skin and sheath are dry. This makes it easier to put on the sheath and avoids skin irritation.
- Positioning: Hold the sheath at hip height, with the opening facing up and the label at the back. The bottom pull-on shapers are put on like tights, while the top pull-on shapers are put on like a sleeveless top.
- Donning: If you are putting on a girdle from below, slide your feet through the opening, taking care not to snag your nails or jewelry. For top-on girdles, pass your arms through the arm openings.
- Fit: Slowly slide the accessory over your body, starting at the thighs or hips. Use your hands to adjust and smooth the fabric, being careful to avoid any wrinkles or tight areas. Make sure the sheath is positioned correctly and covers the desired areas.
- Comfort Check: Once the shapewear is in place, move and breathe normally to ensure it is comfortable and you can move around without restriction. If the girdle is too tight or uncomfortable, consider choosing a larger size or another model.
Responsible use and precautions
To use this type of accessory responsibly, consider the following precautions:
- Wearing Time: Do not wear the sheath for long periods of time without interruption. It is recommended to wear the sheath for a few hours a day at the beginning and to gradually increase the duration, avoiding exceeding 8 to 10 hours a day.
-
Do not use a slimming sheath to sleep .
- Do not persist if you have pain: If you experience discomfort, pain, difficulty breathing or numbness, remove the sheath immediately. These signs may indicate that it is too tight or poorly fitted.
- Do not overtighten: Avoid overtightening the sheath to achieve quick results. Excessive compression can cause blood circulation problems, digestive problems and muscle pain.
Adapt the duration of use according to the type of sheath
Recommended duration for semi-rigid sheaths
Semi-rigid shapers also called body shapers offer a higher level of compression than other types of shapers, meaning they should not be worn for long periods of time. It is generally recommended to wear them for 4-6 hours per day, depending on your comfort and tolerance. Do not wear these girdles for long periods of time or while sleeping, as this may cause problems with blood circulation and breathing.
Recommended duration for neoprene sleeves
Sweat girdles are designed to be worn during exercise to stimulate sweating and support weight loss. It is recommended to only wear them for the duration of your workout, usually between 1 and 2 hours. Do not wear a shapewear outside of workouts, as they can cause discomfort and blood circulation problems if worn for long periods of time.
Recommended duration for shapewear
Shaping underwear and bodysuits offer light to moderate compression and are suitable for everyday use. You can wear them for a working day, about 8 hours. However, it is important to listen to your body and remove the sheath if you feel any discomfort or discomfort. Do not wear these girdles while you sleep, as this can cause blood circulation and breathing problems.
Maintenance and cleaning of the slimming sheath
Recommended cleaning frequency
It is important to clean your sheath regularly to remove impurities, bacteria and odors. Cleaning frequency depends on use, but in general it is recommended to wash the device after 2 to 3 uses. If you wear the girdle every day, it may be a good idea to have several so you can wear a clean one while the other is washed.
Suitable cleaning methods for different types of ducts
Cleaning methods vary depending on materials and manufacturer's instructions. Here are some general tips for cleaning different types of ducts:
- Hand wash: To preserve the quality and elasticity of the materials, it is often recommended to wash the sheath by hand. Use warm water and a mild detergent, then gently scrub the sheath to remove dirt and odors. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and squeeze gently to remove excess water.
- Machine wash: If the sheath is machine washable, place it in a wash bag to protect it and select a delicate cycle with a cold or warm water temperature. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softener.
- Dry Cleaning: Some models, particularly those made of latex, may require dry cleaning. Check the manufacturer's instructions and follow them carefully to avoid damage to the sheath.
Tips for Extending Jacket Life
- Drying: Avoid exposing the sheath to a direct heat source, such as a dryer or radiator. Let the sheath air dry, lying flat on a clean towel or hanging on a hanger.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid bending or crushing it, as this may damage the materials and reduce the effectiveness of the compression.
- Rotating shapers: If you regularly use shapewear, consider having several to rotate between. This helps reduce wear and extend the life of each sheath. We invite you to read our article by clicking on the following underlined text: make the right choice for your slimming sheath .
