When it comes to shapewear, the slimming girdle quickly emerges as THE flagship product. More than just sheathing undergarments, girdles for men are also a discreet but powerful tool that can make a big difference to the way a man feels and looks. But what exactly is a slimming girdle? Which one should you choose, according to your needs and morphology?
What is a slimming girdle?
Use over time
Slimming girdles for men, also known as compression underwear, girdle or waist trainer, are fitted garments designed to help sculpt and smooth the figure. In effect, this compressive garment is designed to flatten the abdomen and refine the waistline. They are generally made from comfortable, elastic materials such as nylon or spandex.
Initially marketed as a health product for people with back or posture problems, the girdle is now increasingly fashionable, becoming a genuine fashion accessory, just as corsets were in their day.
When to wear a girdle for men?
Men’s girdles can be a powerful tool for improving self-confidence,physical appearance and general well-being. Whether for a special occasion or for everyday life, these compression undergarments offer a discreet and effective solution to help men feel better about themselves. With summer just around the corner, weddings are going to be the order of the day! Don’t hesitate to wear a girdle under your slim-fitting shirt.
Naturally, moderate use is recommended to avoid health problems such as breathing difficulties, poor circulation and muscular pain. On the other hand, a few hours a day or a week, at rest or during sports training, can increase sweating and support posture, making it an ally for slimming your figure!
Which girdle to choose, and for which needs?
With a variety of styles and levels of compression available, it’s never been easier to find the perfect sheath to suit your needs.

Other brands have developed patented technologies. Such is the case of Andrew Christian, with its Active Smooth girdle. Active Smooth compression will sculpt the body and erase curves thanks to its super-stretch, breathable, moisture-wicking mesh fabric.
BeautyTherm has developed a sculpting, firming girdle using cryotherapy.

The jade fibers in the girdle are renowned for their cooling properties. In contact with the skin, they help to cool the body, which has to burn energy from fat to maintain a temperature of 37°C. Microcapsules loaded with phytomarine active ingredients firm the skin quickly and durably.
