For instance, we know one man that wanted to wear Spanx shapewear and he did so because of the names that he got called when he was younger.  He admits that he was a little overweight but that it affected his confidence more than anything.  Now, we aren’t spinning no sob story here – just the opinions of one man!  He went on to try Spanx shapewear and never regretted it, even after his weight went up and down.  Like most of us, men and women and gender neutral, he found that he was never the ‘perfect’ size and would always be somewhere in-between – that’s life!  So, he found that by wearing shapewear and body shapers he could shape his body, after much trying and buying, to something that he liked.

As with most men, wearing body shapers and shapewear is a bit of an anomaly.  What are shapewear?  What do they do?  Are they a torture device?  And so on.  Men may have heard of the odd garment such as corsets but not really understood why they are worn to shape the body.

Let’s be honest now, men are becoming more and more in touch with their ‘open’ side to experiences.  When I was growing up, if someone mentioned ‘man bags’ to my brother he would have said a few choice words.  These days there is a choice of many a man.  So why is this different with shapewear? Well, we think that, traditionally, men have worn boxer shorts and underwear that they’re comfortable with and they don’t want to experiment outside of that realm.  Wearing shapewear could be very much called experimenting out there!

Also, there is the old fashioned macho thing.  Some men are just not comfortable suggesting that they need that little bit of help pushing in some lumps and bumps when really they are pining for it inside!

So keep an eye out for some great deals, reviews and guides on choosing the righ shapewear – this is a new page and topic for us and will be updated soon!
