Product Review: Wink Shapewear

A couple of weeks ago I was asked if I'd like to try out a product from Wink Shapewear. I don't think it's any big secret that I've been trying to slim down recently and ever since having children, the dreaded mummy-tummy has been a real problem for me.  Over the past few years, when I've gone on nights out or to big events, shapewear has been my friend.

Wink Shapewear offer a range of compression and slimming shapewear made from patented medical grade material. You can start wearing Wink Shapewear immediately after a normal delivery. The exclusive patented fabric is made for post-surgical procedures, which makes them ideal for a post c-section delivery and the slimming system can actually help with recovery. Wink Shapewear's patented speciality fabric aids healing, discourages fluid accumulation and encourages you to engage your back and core muscles.  They specialise in compression shapewear for post-surgery and post-baby but it was their slimming shapewear that I am most interested in.  The range includes the Booty Shaper Shorts, Booty Shaper Knee Length, Tummy Tucker Tank, Ultimate Belly and Hip Shaper, Ultimate Full Body Lift, Ultimate Postpartum Original and the Ultimate Thigh Blaster. The shapewear is available in black, white and nude.

I was sent the Tummy Tucker Tank in nude.

The Tummy Tucker Tank is designed to slim the tummy with a longer tank top that sits below the hips and the longer tank top compresses the lower abdomen area and hips. It has a sleek design with a low-cut back and is designed to give the right support and flatter every figure.

Now obviously those images are stock images and certainly not my figure - I don't look like that even with shapewear but Wink assured me I didn't need to go through the ritual humiliation of posting my flabby tummy on the internet for all and sundry to see but rest assured I have tested the tank top and worn it out in public. 

What did I think? Well having experienced many different brands of shapewear over the past few years I was quite pleased with the tank top from Wink.  The material is nice and smooth and made me feel quite sleek. Another point to mention is I didn't seem to squeeze out of it anywhere - I don't know about you but in the past I've tried shapewear and whilst it does a good job of smoothing me out, the fat lumps just squidge out somewhere else - I didn't find that with this at all.   

What I like best about shapewear is the confidence it gives me. I felt sleeker and less lumpy with the tank top under my dress and it's not noticeable or uncomfortable at all. I'd whole-heartedly recommend WInk Shapewear if you've got a few problem areas and lumps and bumps you want to smooth out for a special occasion!

You can buy Wink Shapewear via their website.
