What kinds of waist cinchers are available today?
You have a few different options. The two types most commonly available in department stores are the hook-and-eye and step-in styles. These descriptions refer to the closures, or lack thereof, on the garments. Decorative, lace-up options are available too; however, these sometimes can be seen underneath clothing. Other, less common, styles incorporate buckles and zippers. Of course, you’re more likely to find lace-up and buckle cinchers in specialty shops selling tantalizing lingerie, not functional shapewear. A cincher may also be combined with a brief or thigh slimmer in a single, comprehensive, lower-body shaping garment.
