Each piece was also tested for ease of use. We looked at whether it was hard to put on or take off, and if the pieces were difficult to pull down when taking a bathroom break.

We tested most of the shapewear in the below list over the last few weeks, but we also included some longtime favorites our editors pack every day, like Gatherall’s nipple sleeves and Skims’ compressive bodysuit.
