Shapewear bodysuits don't have to look dull - case and point, the MAGISCULPT Bodyshaper in blush. With gorgeous lace cups and firm control panelling across the stomach; it is finished off beautifully with a bow - literally. Hook-and-eye fastening, adjustable straps and a popper gusset make it practical as well as cute.

Simple Be review: "Lovely item nice and comfortable and smooths everything, leaving a nice shape with no lumps and bumps. Lovely colour and very pretty lace on the bust. Very pleased with the item, bought two: one for my daughter's wedding and a spare one to wear anytime."

A unitard is the perfect way to smooth out your hips, back, thighs and waist all at once, and it's even fashionable these days to wear unitards by themselves, not just hidden underneath clothing. Just layer with a bomber jacket and chunky trainers and you've got a snatch-ifying outfit.

The Cool Comfort technology keeps you cool all day, so no sweaty thighs here.

M&S review: "Great fit and comfortable to wear. Better than anything I’ve had before. No bulges like you would get with shapewear knickers."

Want to one-up yourself and go full-on sexy and sultry with your shapewear? This MAGISCULPT body shaper, with added suspenders (bow chica wow-wow), guarantees no dreaded VPL.

Luckily, Pour Moi has you covered with their Superfit Shaper, with doesn't disappoint with its stylish lace bust design.

When Honeylove describes their shapewear shorts as "SuperPower", they don't exaggerate. Targeted tummy control technology is mixed with flexible boning, preventing roll-down. With a 4.6 star rating with 4,567 reviews, this is a surefire hit.

Honeylove review: "I rarely (if ever) write product reviews, but I have to for this product....omigosh…y’all!!! Perfection. I looked perfectly “snatched” (as the youths say), but was comfortable enough to dance all night long. This truly is the best shapewear I have ever worn. The small was a perfect fit for me. I wear a size 4-6 and have thicker thighs (my daughter and I favour the term “juicy”). I was afraid the shorts would be too tight on the leg and leave an unflattering line, but they did not. I will definitely purchase from Honeylove again. Their products are well made and they do what they say. I also love the inclusive sizing, colour palettes (beyond white, black, and nude) and the beautiful, diverse models. Keep it up, Honeylove! You have a life-long customer here."

ASOS' Curve Collection has these amazing mesh shorts in a range of skin tones, and sizing up to 30. They are high rise, so can tummy control whilst smoothing the thighs. And no thigh chafing in the summer? Yes, please. Be wary to hand wash only.

Want to turn to Amazon to get your shapewear fast? Shapermint, a brand renowned on the site for its shapewear magic, has these tummy control knickers that smooth from tummy to waist and are durable and long-lasting. Importantly, they're not a pain to get off and on.

Amazon rating: "This actually works, I mean no it doesn't make me into a thin person haha, but it does a good job of providing a smooth silhouette. I was sceptical about it staying up as most of these high-waisted 'suck it all in' underwear just roll down all the time. I wore it to work to test it and it stayed up and was very comfortable to wear. So well done on this product. I'm a size 20/22, 5'11 (but short-waisted) and ordered the 3X size."
