For many years, the fashion world was governed by unattainable standards. The culture of extreme and health-risking diets, intense physical exercise performed without medical supervision, and not to mention the media pressure, led many women to develop a difficult relationship with their own bodies. This has also worsened in recent decades through social media and the internet itself.
However, with the emergence of movements celebrating body positivity and the campaigns carried out in its favor, society’s mindset has evolved significantly, and we have made extremely positive progress in this regard. Today, women are more aware of their own value, which goes far beyond aesthetic and/or physical appearance. Even so, there is still a long way to go, as many people considered “outside the standard” unfortunately still face difficulties, barriers, and prejudice.
That is why here at Shapellx, we value and celebrate body diversity and inclusion. We do not believe there is a single, universal standard that should be followed, but rather that every woman deserves to find confidence and happiness in being who she is. That is why we develop shapewear to help them find self-love and appreciate their natural beauty, whether through a butt lifting shapewear, for example, or any other model available on our website. The main goal here is to enhance your beauty, not to hide it or make you think you have something wrong with your own appearance.
Understanding the difficulty many plus-size women face in finding stylish clothing in the right sizes, our brand has focused on offering an extremely wide and diverse size chart, ranging from XL to 6XL, along with our fit guide, to ensure you find the perfect piece.

To find the ideal model: choose the control area
If you want a piece that provides a more lifting effect in a broader way, covering multiple areas of the body, the body shaper bodysuit is the most recommended option. But if you want, for example, to enhance the waist area, you can opt for waist trainers. Taking into account the areas you want to control—whether to enhance or to achieve a flatter effect—is, without a doubt, the first step in choosing the ideal shapewear. On the website, you can even filter specific shapewear for each body area, saving time when searching and avoiding any doubts you may have.
To find the ideal size: take your measurements
Knowing your clothing size is important. But plus-size women know that size charts can vary greatly from one place to another, and if you wear 4XL in one store, your size might be 6XL in another, since each brand has its own measurements and sizing structure. Here at Shapellx, in addition to sizes, you can find the perfect shapewear based on your own measurements. Using a measuring tape and writing down each number, you can compare them with the chart available for each product on Shapellx, in centimeters. Our measurements are structured around bust, waist, and hips, so when taking your measurements, you already know which areas to focus on to achieve a more accurate and ideal result.
For the best use: think about comfort
This is the most essential requirement! Many women may think that the tighter the garment, the better the results it will provide, but the opposite is true. At Shapellx, there are various levels of compression, starting with light support and going up to super-strong support, and most pieces also feature adjustable closures that allow you to modify the compression level. It is important that the garments do not leave marks on your body at the end of the day and that you pay attention to whether you feel any pain or discomfort, as this is not normal. Some of our designs have been awarded for their high technology and comfort, and the fabrics used in the shapewear are specifically chosen for being breathable and comfortable, ensuring that no issues arise during use.
See? It’s not difficult. Shapellx is committed to inclusion, and all our pieces are developed and designed to ensure the best experience for our customers and, of course, to build loyalty as well. Everything is carefully thought out, from the beginning of the manufacturing process to the moment the pieces are placed on the website—and when they arrive at your home. I selected a few models to illustrate this post, but you can find many others here.
