The Benefits of Wearing Shapewear: A Boost for Confidence, Comfort, and Style

The Benefits of Wearing Shapewear: A Boost for Confidence, Comfort, and Style





In today’s world, where confidence and comfort go hand in hand with style, shapewear has become an essential tool for many women looking to enhance their silhouette. This month, Phatabulous Magazine features the inspiring Gena Lashay on our cover. Gena is not only a talented model and actress but also a model coach and the owner of Glamfit Shapewear, a brand dedicated to providing women with shapewear that meets their unique style, shape, and needs. In a recent Facebook Live interview, Gena shared her expert insights on how shapewear can transform not only your look but also your confidence.






According to Gena, when worn in the right size, shapewear can do wonders, offering a sleek, polished appearance while giving you that added boost of confidence. Here are some benefits she discussed that explain why shapewear can be a game-changer in your wardrobe:


1. A Polished, Confident Look


Shapewear smooths out the natural curves of the body, helping clothes fit more seamlessly. When Gena talks about shapewear’s ability to “transform your entire look,” she means that it can give you a more defined waist and add that extra touch of polish, making any outfit look impeccable.


2. Posture Support


Wearing shapewear can also support your posture, something that’s not often talked about. Properly fitted shapewear can subtly encourage better posture, providing gentle support to the back and core muscles. This benefit is particularly valuable for women who spend hours on their feet or sitting at a desk. Improved posture doesn’t just impact physical health—it can also boost confidence.


3. Waist Definition and Shaping


Many shapewear options, such as waist trainers, provide a level of definition that enhances your natural shape. Gena explained that with consistent wear, certain types of shapewear can actually help define and shape the waist. This aspect can be particularly appealing to those looking to enhance their curves while enjoying a more sculpted silhouette.





4. Variety for Everybody and Need


At Glamfit Shapewear, Gena’s mission is to ensure that every woman can find the right fit for her. She offers a variety of pieces that cater to different shapes, needs, and occasions. Whether you’re seeking full-body support or targeted shaping for specific areas, there’s a style that suits your preference.

Plus Size Influencer Regrets Body Positivity Movement

Phases, Freedom & the Evolution of Body Positivity For over a decade, Gabriella Lascano built a platform rooted in self-love. In 2010, long before brand deals and viral TikToks, Lascano began posting on YouTube. She has shared that from a young age, “I always knew I was bigger.” She dreamed of being a star but believed her size would disqualify her. Online, however, she found something different: a community of plus-size women who felt empowered seeing someone who looked like them living boldly. “That just made me feel like I had a bigger purpose in what I was creating,” she said in a recent opinion video. With more than 600,000 followers across platforms, Lascano became part of a digital wave that helped redefine beauty standards.

But over time, her perspective shifted. Three years ago, Lascano post...

Ozempic Culture is Here, But What Happens to Body Positivity?

When Thin Became Trendy Again: Who Gets Left Behind? By Phatabulous Magazine Staff Ozempic Culture & the Quiet Rollback of Body Positivity For a brief, shimmering moment, it felt like the world was finally catching up. Plus-size women were visible. Fashion brands expanded their sizing. Campaigns spoke the language of “body neutrality,” “health at every size,” and “confidence without apology.” Fat bodies weren’t just tolerated—they were styled, centered, and celebrated. And then, almost overnight, thin became trendy again. Not because the science changed. Not because fat bodies suddenly became unhealthy. But because Ozempic culture arrived. Watch Commentary Video GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound have reshaped beauty standards at record speed. What began as a medical intervention for diabetes and obesity has quietly morphed into a cultural reset—one where shrinking is praised, staying the same is questioned, and opting out feels like rebellion.
