Dear Shapewear,
I never anticipated that we would form such a close bond. In fact, I wasn’t even looking for a connection with you. For the longest time, you seemed like just another trend—like the popular kid in high school that everyone adored, but I couldn’t quite grasp why. You appeared to be just another garment, an added layer of clothing that I would inevitably wear, remove, and launder without much thought. What was it that captivated everyone else?
It was a typical Tuesday when I first encountered you in the store. As I browsed through shirts and trousers, my attention kept drifting back to you. I considered a belt and a handbag, yet there you were, silently urging me closer. It was as if you were whispering, “Come on over. I promise you won’t regret it. Would I ever mislead you?”
In a moment of curiosity—and perhaps a hint of impulse, since I was shopping alone and free from judgment—I dropped you into my cart and took you home. I thought to myself that I wouldn’t even bother removing the tags, convinced that the hype surrounding you was unfounded.
Once home, I hurried to the bathroom to try you on, and that’s where our journey truly began.
Initially, our relationship was challenging. Getting you on required more strength than I realized I had. I tugged, grunted, and wiggled until, finally, I succeeded. As I gazed into the mirror, squinting in anticipation, I was met with sheer astonishment.
What I saw was nothing short of transformative. My love handles no longer spilled over my waistband. My postpartum belly was flattened and smoothed. My rear was perfectly positioned. In that moment of struggle to fit you onto my body, you had worked wonders.
It was love at first sight.
Oh, Shapewear, where have you been all my life?
You’ve revitalized my wardrobe and saved me countless hours. I no longer need to toil at the gym to fit into my favorite jeans; I simply slip you on, and I’m good to go.
You’ve instilled confidence in me, banishing unsightly bumps and bulges beneath my clothes. You’ve improved my posture, as slouching becomes nearly impossible when you provide such a firm hold on my midsection.
Wearing you fills me with joy, even if that joy might be a result of the tightness that makes breathing a challenge. But honestly, I don’t mind.
It’s always bittersweet when we part at the end of the day. As I peel you off, my body returns to its softer state, and I can’t help but glance in the mirror, longing for your embrace once more. Yet, I remind myself that my skin and muscles need a break. Oxygen is essential, after all.
Tomorrow, we will reunite, and I look forward to it.
Thank you for calling to me that day in the department store, Shapewear. I appreciate you.
