The high-waisted shaping panty shapes the stomach, hips, and thighs in one piece: extending beyond where classic briefs would stop. At Twinswomen, all models are available in sizes 36 to 52, made of seamless microfiber, invisible under bodycon dresses or slim-fit trousers. Choose your support level (light / medium / strong) depending on the occasion.

Why choose a high-waisted shaping panty?
Classic briefs stop at the hips. The shaping panty, on the other hand, covers from just below the bust to mid-thigh: a much wider coverage area, for a shaping effect on several areas at once: stomach, hips, buttocks, and thighs.
What high-waist specifically offers:
Instant flat stomach: the front panel compresses and smooths the lower abdomen without creating rolls at the waist
Gentle lumbar support: the high band supports the lower back, ideal for prolonged standing
Refined waist: progressive compression reshapes the silhouette without a "cut in half" effect
Invisible under clothing: no visible lines under bodycon dresses, slim-fit trousers, or suits
Who needs it?
Postpartum: the stomach needs gentle, supportive compression
Evening gown or wedding dress: zero visible marks, a smoothed silhouette from bust to thighs
Our advice: for an evening dress or slim-fit trousers, the panty is unbeatable. For everyday wear without a special occasion, a shaping brief is often sufficient.
Plus size shaping panty: from 36 to 52 without compromise
This is where most generalist brands fail. A size 50 panty designed like an enlarged size 38 does not work: seams mark, fabric pulls, edges roll up.
Common problems with plus sizes:
Waistband that rolls or digs in
Fabric that lacks stretch in key areas (hips, thighs)
Side seams visible under clothing
What Twinswomen does differently:
Cuts specifically graded for each size: not just simple proportional enlargement
Seamless microfiber: zero lines, zero chafing, second-skin effect from 36 to 52
Soft ribbed edge at waist and thighs: support without a tourniquet effect
Anatomical and progressive compression panels: firmer on the stomach, softer on the thighs

FAQ: Shaping panty: all your questions
1. What is the difference between a shaping panty and shaping briefs?
A shaping panty covers from under the bust to mid-thigh. Shaping briefs, on the other hand, stop at the hips. The panty therefore shapes the stomach, hips, buttocks and thighs in one piece: this is its great strength under a long dress or slim-fit trousers.
2. Is the shaping panty visible under slim-fit trousers?
No, provided you choose a seamless model with laser-cut edges or a flat ribbed edge. Twinswomen models are designed to be invisible even under thin or light-colored fabrics.
3. How to choose your shaping panty size?
Take your usual size: do not go down a size for "more compression". A too-small panty creates rolls and discomfort. If in doubt between two sizes, consult our size guide with your waist and hip measurements.
4. Can you wear a shaping panty all day?
Yes, with a light or medium support model in breathable microfiber. For strong support models, 8 to 10 hours of wear is reasonable. Remember to alternate with 2 or 3 pieces and let your skin breathe on certain days.
5. Is the shaping panty suitable for plus sizes?
Absolutely: it's even one of Twinswomen's specialties. Our panties are available from 36 to 52 with cuts specifically graded for each size, not just enlarged. The result: effective support and real comfort whatever the body shape.
6. Which shaping panty to choose under a bodycon dress?
Opt for a strong support, seamless panty, in nude or black depending on your dress. The length should extend at least 5 cm beyond the hem of the dress to avoid any visible edge effect. Also check out our selection of flat stomach shaping bodysuits if you also want bust support.
7. Does the shaping panty roll up on the stomach?
A quality panty with an anti-slip ribbed edge stays in place all day. If your panty rolls up, it's usually because it's too small or the fabric lacks elasticity. Twinswomen models include a flexible edge that holds without rolling.
8. How to care for your shaping panty?
Wash at max 30 °C, by hand or in a machine with a laundry bag
No tumble drying: heat damages elastic fibers
No fabric softener: it alters the shaping properties of the fabric
