Have you tried body shapers?

Have you tried body shapers?  How well do they work?

Which ones or styles?  Have you tried the ones you step into and lift up or the kinds that fasten up?

I am considering some to see if they can actually provide the look of a slightly better shape.
Corsets can but I am taking about shapers that I guess work by compressing your body at particular points of your torso. 

It would be much better simply to have a nice shape naturally or having really good results using medically supervised HRT. 

Unsure if wearing these would be uncomfortable or not.  What has been your experience?

Finally, is this simply providing a phony image of yourself?  It seems so, so I am reluctant to try them for that reason.  On the other hand, maybe this is not a biggie issue and so what if you give them a try?  There must be many woman (assigned at birth) who use them sometimes to look shapelier.

Be a good example of good behavior.  Always be kinder than needed.  Be tender to others.  You are as beautiful as the thoughts you think and the words that you speak.   Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding.  Knowledge and action shown without love is not impressive.  If you look for the good in people you will find it. Healthy relationships are so important to good living.  Serve others.

Good living, joy, unity, love, and happiness can come from following these practices: Never let selfishness or conceit motivate you.  Regard others as more important than yourself.  Do not limit attention to only your interests, but include the interests of others. 

It is not usually about how fast you transition, it is about how well you transition.   .

I was thinking of trying one called Spanx.  Have you tried those or the equivalent?

I tried a Bali tank top today.  I would not call it a shaper, however it does cling tight to the body.
I put it on over a bra and let’s say the tank certainly emphasized the “girls.”  At least so in my mind.
It is a longer tank top, that is, it is not a crop top.

I think this was fun to try on and see how it looked on me.  Not sure how often I would wear it.  It is of a plain “nude” color.  I will keep it though, at least for now.

Do you wear tank tops?
