The Best Easy-On Shapewear for Women Over 50
Comfortable, supportive styles that smooth the tummy, stay in place and are gentle on joints.
Shapewear that works for real women over 50 - As we move through our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, our bodies change and so do our shapewear needs.
Menopause bloating, tummy softness, a little spare tyre, arthritis in the fingers, joint stiffness and the simple desire for comfort all play a part. Many of my customers tell me they’re tired of shapewear that’s hard to get on, rolls down, or feels like a workout just to wear.
This week, I spoke to a lovely customer, 71 years old, who said:
“I just need something easy to pull on. My tummy is my main problem, and I want a smooth look under a dress. Nothing that rolls or moves about.”
She tried my top recommendations and absolutely loved them.
All the styles featured below are available in Black and Warm Beige, with inclusive sizing up to plus sizes - because every woman deserves comfort and confidence.
If you want shapewear that is easy to pull on, gentle on arthritic fingers, comfortable, supportive, great for tummy smoothing, non rolling and perfect under dresses, these are Jess’s Top Picks - tried, tested and loved.
