12 best control tops

Control tops are a type of shapewear primarily designed for women.They are a popular undergarment choice that helps provide a slimming effect and smoother appearance to the lower abdomen, hips, and thighs. Control tops are often worn under various types of clothing, including dresses, skirts, and pants, to create a more streamlined silhouette.

Key features of control tops include:

  1. Compression: Control tops are made from materials with varying degrees of elasticity and compression. This compression helps to flatten the stomach, shape the waist, and smooth out any bulges or imperfections in the lower torso area.

  2. Waistband: They typically have a wide and elasticized waistband that sits at or just below the natural waistline. This waistband helps hold the control top in place and prevents it from rolling down during wear.

  3. Coverage: Control tops can vary in terms of coverage. Some may be designed to cover only the lower abdomen and waist, while others extend down to the thighs, providing additional shaping and support for the hips and thighs.

  4. Materials: Control tops can be made from a variety of materials, including nylon, spandex, and elastane, which offer stretch and flexibility while maintaining their shaping properties.

  5. Sheerness: Some control tops come in different levels of sheerness, allowing the wearer to choose between sheer and opaque options depending on their outfit and desired level of control.

  6. Styles: Control tops are available in various styles, including briefs, shorts, capris, and full-length leggings, to cater to different fashion choices and outfit requirements.

Control tops are commonly worn for special occasions when a smooth and toned appearance is desired, such as weddings, parties, or formal events. They can also be worn on a daily basis to provide added confidence and comfort.

It's important to choose the right size and level of compression when selecting control tops to ensure they provide the desired results without causing discomfort. Additionally, care instructions for control tops may vary based on the materials used, so it's advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for washing and maintenance to ensure their longevity.

User questions & answers

Question: Is this similar to ruby ribbon camisoles
Answer: Yes it’s similar to Ruby Ribbon’s camis. Just wish it had the adjustable straps overall I like the product.
Question: I am 5 feet 4 in tall, 36 c bust, 28 in waist, and i weigh 118 lbs. i do not want chest compression. rather tummy control. what size should i order
Answer: Depends on how tight you want it around your tummy. I am 5'6", 28" waist, 132lbs and I ordered the medium. I love the way it fits around my torso and abdomen...not too tight and not too loose. Just enough tightness to give me a very smooth look w/o any love handles or fat bulges.
Question: What size is she puttin on in video
Answer: Thanks for your question. The model wears size M in video. If you don't like firm control please order one size up. And putting the shapewear tank top from DOWN to UP is really easy and smooth.
Question: Hey i trying to see which size i should order. i am 5'6, 215 and 42d? i normally wear a x-large in regular shirts
Answer: I'd suggest buying Spanx! I only ordered one bc i had a tummy tuck and needed compression for 8 weeks. I tried after 6 weeks of being in an abdominal binder to try one of these. Im a 42DD I was wearing an xlg shirt after surgery. But ordered a 2x bc i still had swelling and bc of my bra size. These fit super tight i had to step into it then pull it up over my incision which was a hip to hip cut. Extremely painful. I tried putting it over my head that didn't work. These are the most uncomfortable tops and super hot also. Dont waste your money
