Tummy Control Panties

The biggest complaint about tummy control panties? They roll down, dig in, and show through your clothes. Elya panties were designed to fix all three. A soft shaping panel flattens your lower belly pooch, a seamless knit keeps panty lines invisible, and a waistband that grips without pinching stays where you put it — under bodycon dresses, pencil skirts, work pants and leggings.

6 styles of shapewear panties

The everyday tummy control panties give full-coverage smoothing you'll forget about by lunchtime. Prefer a thong? The thong shapewear flattens your belly in front with nothing in the back. Need more height? The high waisted shapewear panties rise almost to your bra line, so there's no muffin top under fitted tops.

For a wedding or a big night out, the firm control briefs give the strongest flattening in the line. New moms can start with the postpartum panties: extra-high waist, gentle support, and C-section friendly. And under the most clingy fabrics, the seamless shapewear panties with laser-cut edges leave no trace at all.

Why they don't roll down

Rolling usually comes from two things: a waistband that's too weak or a size that's too small. Our panties are knit seamless from 78% nylon and 22% spandex, with no bulky sewn-on elastic at the waist to flip over. Pair that with your true size — never a size down — and they stay flat at your waist all day, even sitting at a desk.

Good for an apron belly?

Yes. If your lower belly hangs a little over your waistband — after pregnancy, weight loss, or just with age — a high-rise style is the way to go. The high waisted shapewear panties lift and hold the whole area instead of cutting under it, and the firm control briefs add more compression when you want it.

Shades and sizes

Choose Taupe (vanishes under light clothes), Beige (for warmer skin tones) or Black, in sizes XXS to 2XL. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and use the size guide.

Wear and care tips

Putting them on

Step in and roll them up slowly, smoothing the shaping panel flat over your tummy. You don't need to yank — the knit does the work.

Getting the size right

Your usual size, always. Panties that are too small roll, dig in and create the very bulges you're trying to hide.

Washing

Cold water by hand, or the delicate cycle in a mesh bag. No dryer, no fabric softener, lay flat to dry. With two or three pairs in rotation, they'll hold their shape for over a year.

Best style for your body shape

Apple shape

Go high: the high waisted panties for daily wear, the firm control briefs for special occasions.

Pear shape

Smooth your hips without a line where the fabric ends: the mid-rise tummy control panties or the high-waisted pair, depending on how much coverage you like.

Straight shape

The classic tummy control panties are plenty — they flatten your belly without over-compressing slim hips.

Under very tight outfits

Whatever your shape, the laser-cut seamless panties or the thong shapewear are the most invisible.
