The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202521486895.4, filed on Jul. 15, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELDThe embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of maternal and infant products, and particularly to a shapewear garment.
BACKGROUNDShapewear garments are widely favored for their ability to shape the body and provide support, particularly in improving the contour of the waist and abdomen, such as for daily body shaping or postpartum recovery. However, existing shapewear garments generally fail to provide effective abdominal compression. The pressure applied to the abdominal region often falls short of users' expectations for noticeable shaping, smoothing of bulges, or strong structural support. As the core shaping area, the abdomen demands a high level of compression force, yet the performance of current products in this critical region is often unsatisfactory.
Traditional shapewear garments are typically made from a single uniform elastic fabric or incorporate only basic structural zoning. In order to balance comfort and freedom of movement, the overall modulus of elasticity—i.e., the firmness and retraction force of the fabric—is limited to a specific range. As a result, while such garments may apply uniform or roughly zoned pressure across the body, the pressure delivered to the abdomen—where stronger compression is most needed—is significantly insufficient. Some products attempt to enhance abdominal shaping simply by increasing the modulus of elasticity of the overall fabric. However, this leads to excessive and unnecessary compression in non-target areas such as the sides of the waist, groin, or upper back, which can cause considerable discomfort, leave marks, and adversely affect breathing or blood circulation. Other products introduce rigid support elements into the abdominal region in an attempt to improve performance. However, such designs often result in stiffness, poor body conformity, restricted movement, noticeable foreign body sensation, and an uneven appearance due to wrinkling. In addition, rigid materials are prone to shifting and distortion, which undermines the intended compression effect.
Accordingly, the core challenge facing existing shapewear technology lies in the inability to deliver sufficiently strong and sustained targeted compression to the abdominal region while maintaining overall comfort and freedom of movement. Designs that rely on uniform elasticity across the garment fail to provide adequate abdominal pressure, while crude solutions such as increasing overall fabric tension or embedding rigid components introduce new problems of excessive compression in non-target areas and significantly reduced comfort. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for an innovative solution that can enhance abdominal compression in a precise, effective, and comfortable manner.
SUMMARYIn view of the deficiencies in the prior art, embodiments of the present application provide a shapewear garment that addresses problems such as poor abdominal shaping performance or discomfort when worn.
According to one embodiment, a shapewear garment is provided. The shapewear garment comprises: an upper portion comprising a front panel and a back panel, the front panel being configured to at least partially cover an abdominal region of a wearer when worn, and the back panel being configured to at least partially cover a lower back region of the wearer when worn; a pants portion connected to the upper portion and located below the upper portion, the pants portion being configured to extend at least around a crotch and buttocks region of the wearer when worn; and an abdominal compression panel disposed in a stacked arrangement with the front panel and joined to the front panel, the abdominal compression panel being configured to at least partially cover the abdominal region of the wearer when worn, wherein a modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel is greater than that of the upper portion and the pants portion.
In one embodiment, the abdominal compression panel is disposed on an inner side of the front panel, the inner side being a side facing the skin of the wearer when the shapewear garment is worn.
In one embodiment, the abdominal compression panel is bonded to the front panel.

In one embodiment, the torso band is sewn to the upper end of the upper portion.
In one embodiment, the shapewear garment further comprises leg portions located below the pants portion and connected thereto.
In one embodiment, a coefficient of friction of an inner surface of the abdominal compression panel is less than a coefficient of friction of an inner surface of the front panel.
In one embodiment, at least a portion of the shapewear garment comprises xylitol yarns.
In one embodiment, the upper portion and the pants portion are integrally knitted, and the knitted yarns of the upper portion and the pants portion comprise 70% to 80% nylon and 20% to 30% spandex, and the knitted yarns of the abdominal compression panel comprise 40% to 50% nylon and 50% to 60% spandex.
In one embodiment, the knitted yarns of the upper portion and the pants portion comprise 75.1% nylon and 24.9% spandex, and the knitted yarns of the abdominal compression panel comprise 45% nylon and 55% spandex.
In one embodiment, the back panel includes a back support region configured to at least cover a spinal region of the lower back of the wearer when worn, and a textile tension of the back support region is greater than a textile tension of an area surrounding the back support region.
In one embodiment, the pants portion comprises a front crotch panel and a buttocks panel, the buttocks panel comprising a buttocks support region positioned to surround the buttocks of the wearer when worn, and a textile tension of the buttocks support region is greater than a textile tension of an area surrounding the buttocks support region.
In another embodiment, the shapewear garment comprises an upper portion comprising a front panel and a back panel, a pants portion located below and connected to the upper portion, and a torso band connected to an upper end of the upper portion, the torso band being configured to encircle the torso of the wearer when worn, and an inner diameter of the torso band gradually decreasing from top to bottom.
In one embodiment, a modulus of elasticity of the torso band is greater than that of the upper portion and the pants portion.
In one embodiment, the torso band is sewn to the upper end of the upper portion.
In yet another embodiment, the shapewear garment comprises an upper portion comprising a front panel and a back panel, a pants portion located below and connected to the upper portion, and an abdominal compression panel disposed in a stacked arrangement with the front panel and joined thereto. The abdominal compression panel is disposed on an inner side of the front panel, the inner side being a side facing the skin of the wearer when the shapewear garment is worn. The abdominal compression panel is configured to at least partially cover the abdominal region of the wearer when worn. A modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel is greater than that of the upper portion and the pants portion.

In one embodiment, the abdominal compression panel is bonded to the front panel.
In one embodiment, at least a portion of the shapewear garment comprises xylitol yarns.
According to the embodiments of the present application, the abdominal compression panel with a higher modulus of elasticity is stacked and joined to the abdominal region of the front panel, thereby significantly enhancing the localized compression force applied to the abdominal region. This results in improved shaping performance. Since the abdominal compression panel reinforces only the targeted abdominal area while the rest of the garment remains relatively less stiff, the garment ensures both effective abdominal compression and comfort during wear, providing freedom of movement and avoiding excessive compression of non-targeted regions.

The upper portion 10 includes a front panel 11 and a back panel 12. The front panel 11 is configured to at least partially cover an abdominal region of a wearer when worn, and the back panel 12 is configured to at least partially cover a lower back region of the wearer when worn. The front panel 11 and the back panel 12 may be joined together at side edges of the wearer to form an integral structure. In the present embodiment, the upper end of the upper portion 10 terminates below the bust of the wearer when worn. However, it is readily understood that “at least partially covering the lower back” means that the back panel 12 may also cover the entire back of the wearer, comprising the upper back. Correspondingly, the front panel 11 may extend upward to cover the bust of the wearer, in which case the shapewear garment may take the form of a shaping bodysuit, and is not limited to the configuration of covering only the abdominal and pants regions as shown in the FIGS.
The pants portion 20 is connected to the upper portion 10 and is located below the upper portion 10. The pants portion 20 is configured to extend at least around the crotch and buttocks regions of the wearer when worn. The interior spaces of the pants portion 20 and the upper portion 10 are in communication, and the pants portion 20 and the upper portion 10 may be integrally knitted. The pants portion 20 forms two leg openings to accommodate the wearer's legs.
The abdominal compression panel 30 is disposed in a stacked arrangement with the front panel 11 and joined to the front panel 11. The abdominal compression panel 30 is configured to at least partially cover the wearer's abdominal region when worn, and a modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 is greater than that of the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20. In other words, the modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 is greater than that of the upper portion 10, and the modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 is also greater than that of the pants portion 20.
In one embodiment, the modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 may be in the range of 1.6 to 2.4 GPa, for example, 1.6 GPa, 2 GPa, or 2.4 GPa; the modulus of elasticity of the pants portion 20 may be in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 GPa, for example, 0.8 GPa, 1 GPa, or 1.2 GPa; and the modulus of elasticity of the upper portion 10 may be in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 GPa, for example, 0.8 GPa, 1 GPa, or 1.2 GPa. The above values are exemplary only and do not limit the scope of the present application.
In one embodiment, the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20 may be integrally knitted from nylon-spandex fabric, and the abdominal compression panel 30 may also be made of nylon-spandex fabric. The nylon-spandex fabric is formed by blending nylon yarns and spandex yarns. For example, the knitted yarns of the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20 may comprise 70% to 80% nylon and 20% to 30% spandex, while the knitted yarns of the abdominal compression panel 30 may comprise 40% to 50% nylon and 50% to 60% spandex. The modulus of elasticity can be adjusted by varying the spandex content in the nylon-spandex fabric. The above data are merely exemplary. To ensure that the modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 is greater than that of the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20, it is sufficient that the proportion of spandex yarns in the abdominal compression panel 30 is greater than that in the upper portion 10, and also greater than that in the pants portion 20.
In a specific embodiment, the knitted yarns of the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20 comprise 75.1% nylon and 24.9% spandex, and the knitted yarns of the abdominal compression panel 30 comprise 45% nylon and 55% spandex. The above is merely an example illustrating how to achieve a higher modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 compared to the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20 using nylon-spandex fabric. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the upper portion 10, pants portion 20, and abdominal compression panel 30 may be made of other materials, such as polyester-spandex fabric, provided that the modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel 30 is greater than that of the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20.
By the above arrangement, the abdominal compression panel 30 with a high modulus of elasticity is laminated onto the abdominal region of the front panel 11, significantly enhancing targeted compression on the abdomen and effectively improving the shaping effect. Since the abdominal compression panel 30 locally reinforces only the abdominal region while the rest of the garment maintains a lower modulus of elasticity, strong abdominal compression is achieved while ensuring overall wearing comfort and freedom of movement, avoiding excessive compression on non-target regions, thereby improving abdominal compression and shaping effects while maintaining wearer comfort.
In one embodiment of the present application, finer yarns may be selected for the knitted yarns of the shapewear garment, for example, 40D/48f yarns. While ensuring elasticity, this allows the shapewear garment to be made thinner, more skin-fitting, and with improved moisture-wicking performance.
As shown in
In one embodiment, the abdominal compression panel 30 is bonded to the front panel 11. The adhesive material used for bonding the abdominal compression panel 30 and the front panel 11 may be hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive, water-based environmentally friendly adhesive, reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesive, acrylic adhesive, polyurethane adhesive, or the like.

In one embodiment, an inner diameter of the torso band 40 gradually decreases from top to bottom, forming a tapered closure structure that effectively prevents the torso band 40 from rolling up or slipping during wear. The inner diameter referred to herein is the diameter of the torso band 40 in its natural, unstretched state.
Conventional straight tubular torso bands tend to roll downward during wearer movement due to uneven fabric elastic recovery. Such rolling usually initiates at a localized point of uneven stress or displacement. If the upper and lower circumferences are equally tight, when the wearer sits, the protruding upper abdomen pushes the waistband's upper edge locally upward, creating a non-conforming area. The edge of this non-conforming area easily becomes the starting point of rolling.
In contrast, the tapered closure structure of the present embodiment applies gradually increasing tension from top to bottom, causing the lower edge of the torso band 40 to fit more closely against the skin, thereby suppressing the tendency to roll up. Especially during actions such as bending over, no stress concentration occurs at the upper edge of the torso band 40 to form a rolling pivot point. Instead, the stress is concentrated at non-edge locations of the torso band 40, reducing the likelihood of rolling.
Experimental data indicate that when the inner diameter at the upper end of the torso band 40 is 5% to 10% larger than that at the lower end (e.g., an upper end circumference of 80 cm and a lower end circumference of 76 cm), the probability of rolling up can be reduced by more than 60%.
In a specific embodiment, the material properties of the torso band 40 are specially designed to have a higher modulus of elasticity, the value of which is significantly greater than that of the materials used for the upper portion 10 and the pants portion 20. This differentiated elasticity design enables the torso band 40 to provide stronger binding force and support while ensuring wearing comfort. In practical applications, the torso band 40 may be implemented with an elastic band structure wrapped with an outer fabric layer, which guarantees both elasticity performance and good breathability and durability. It should be specially noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the specific implementation of the torso band 40 is not limited to the elastic band structure alone; other types of elastic bands, such as spandex elastic bands, latex elastic bands, or composite elastic bands, can also be used depending on actual requirements. These alternatives can likewise achieve the technical effects required by the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application do not impose strict limitations on the specific materials and structural forms of the torso band 40, as long as the designed modulus of elasticity requirements are met.
In a specific embodiment, the torso band 40 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper portion 10 through sewing processes. This connection method ensures a firm and reliable bond between the two parts. Specifically, stitching methods such as flat stitching, overlock stitching, or other suitable sewing techniques may be used to sew the edge of the torso band 40 to the upper edge of the upper portion 10, thereby forming a stable connection structure. In other possible embodiments, the torso band 40 and the upper end of the upper portion 10 may also be connected using various other methods, such as adhesive bonding, heat pressing and melting, ultrasonic welding, and so forth. These alternative connection methods can also achieve effective bonding between the two components. The choice of a specific connection method can be flexibly made based on actual production needs, material properties, and process conditions. The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the connection method between the torso band 40 and the upper end of the upper portion 10; any process capable of achieving stable bonding is applicable to this solution.
In some specific embodiments, the design scope of the shapewear garment can be further expanded beyond the traditional abdominal region to cover multiple parts of the upper body. Specifically, the shapewear garment may include structural designs that cover the thoracic region and also wrap around the upper back muscles, thereby forming a complete one-piece shapewear garment. This design breaks through the localized shaping concept shown in the drawings of the present application (i.e., shaping only the lower body, abdominal region, and leg lines), achieving a whole-body shaping effect. Notably, the upper part of the shapewear garment may adopt a structural design similar to that of a female bra, comprising but not limited to shoulder strap adjustment systems, cup support structures, and clasp devices on the back. Such design ensures both effective shaping and wearing comfort and functionality.
In one embodiment, the coefficient of friction of the inner surface of the abdominal compression panel 30 is less than that of the inner surface of the front panel 11. In one embodiment, the inner surface of the abdominal compression panel 30 undergoes special surface treatment, making its coefficient of friction significantly lower than that of the inner surface of the front panel 11, thereby reducing skin friction discomfort during wear.
In one embodiment, the inner surface of the abdominal compression panel is subjected to a special low-friction treatment, such that its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of the inner surface of the front panel. Specifically, the static coefficient of friction of the inner surface of the abdominal compression panel is controlled within the range of 0.15 to 0.25, and the dynamic coefficient of friction is 0.12 to 0.20; whereas the static coefficient of friction of the inner surface of the front panel is 0.30 to 0.45, and the dynamic coefficient of friction is 0.25 to 0.40. This differentiated friction characteristic design reduces the frictional resistance between the abdominal compression panel and the skin by about 40% compared to the front panel region, effectively improving wearing comfort. Test data show that even after 50 standard wash cycles, the low-friction performance of the abdominal compression panel remains above 85%. This technical solution is achieved through silicone finishing agents and nanocoating processes, and is especially suitable for shapewear garments intended for long-duration wear or high-intensity exercise.
In one embodiment, the low-friction property of the abdominal compression panel is realized through a special processing technique, mainly comprising the following aspects. For example: first, in terms of material selection, the abdominal compression panel 30 uses nylon/spandex blended fabric treated with a silicone finishing agent, where the nylon content is about 80% and the spandex content is about 20%. This blending ratio ensures elasticity while providing an ideal substrate for subsequent surface treatment. In contrast, the front panel uses a conventional 75% nylon and 25% spandex blended fabric without special low-friction treatment. Second, the surface treatment process employs a dual-modification technique: initially, plasma treatment activates and cleans the fabric surface to enhance the adhesion of subsequent treatments; then, a dip-padding process applies the silicone finishing agent, cured at 150° C. for 30 seconds to form a uniform thin film. To further enhance the effect, an optional polyurethane-siloxane composite nanocoating with a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 μm may be applied. This combined treatment forms a smooth and durable low-friction surface on the inner side of the abdominal compression panel while maintaining good breathability and elasticity. Testing shows that the treated fabric not only significantly reduces the initial friction coefficient but also maintains stable low-friction performance after multiple washes and friction cycles, fully meeting the demands of long-term wear of shapewear.
Such a design effectively reduces friction between the abdominal compression panel and the skin, thereby enhancing wearing comfort and avoiding skin discomfort or damage caused by excessive friction. Additionally, the lower coefficient of friction facilitates easier adjustment of the shapewear position during wear, allowing it to better conform to body contours and further optimize shaping effects. This differentiated design reflects meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a balance between functionality and user experience.
In one embodiment, at least a portion of the shapewear garment comprises xylitol yarns. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the shapewear garment (such as the upper portion 10, the pants portion 20, and the abdominal compression panel 30) is made of xylitol yarns. The manufacturing process may include the following steps: encapsulating xylitol powder in high-temperature resistant microcapsules to ensure it does not decompose during the spinning process; mixing and melting the xylitol microcapsules with a base material such as nylon to produce a spinnable masterbatch; using a sheath-core spinning structure where the outer layer contains the xylitol masterbatch (providing a cooling effect) and the core is an elastic fiber (such as spandex) to ensure the elasticity of the shapewear; weaving the xylitol yarns into fabric and retaining the xylitol activity through a low-temperature setting process.

The spinal region is prone to fatigue, especially the spine and the muscle groups on both sides of the spine. The arrangement of the back support region 121 can alleviate back fatigue to some extent. It should be understood that, in some embodiments, the back support region 121 may also extend beyond the spinal region to cover both sides of the spine when the shapewear garment is worn. For example, the edges of the back support region 121 may extend 1 to 10 cm beyond the edges of the spinal region.
In one specific embodiment, the back support region 121 of the back panel 12 is knitted using a 2×1 rib stitch, while the area surrounding the back support region 121 employs a 40G plain knit. By increasing the textile tension in the back support region, the support strength of this area can be effectively enhanced, thereby helping to improve the wearer's posture and reduce fatigue caused by prolonged wear. Additionally, the higher textile tension improves the stability of the shapewear at the lower back, preventing garment displacement or deformation caused by excessive movement. This design not only strengthens the functionality but also maintains aesthetic appeal by preserving smooth overall lines while providing support. Meanwhile, the material selection for the back support region is carefully considered to ensure sufficient elasticity without causing pressure on the skin, further enhancing the wearer's comfort.
As shown in
In one specific embodiment, the buttocks support region 221 may be knitted using a 2×1 rib stitch, and the surrounding area may employ a 40G plain knit.
By increasing the textile tension in the buttocks support region, the load-bearing capacity of this area can be effectively enhanced, thereby providing better support to the wearer. This design not only improves the contour of the buttocks but also alleviates discomfort caused by prolonged sitting or physical activity to some extent. Furthermore, the higher textile tension contributes to improving the durability of the shapewear in the buttocks region, reducing the risk of deformation due to frequent movement. The material of the buttocks support region is specially optimized to balance elasticity and comfort, avoiding unnecessary pressure on the skin, and thus further meeting the wearer's dual requirements for functionality and comfort.
As shown in
The shapewear garment according to the present embodiment includes: an upper portion comprising a front panel and a back panel, the front panel being configured to at least partially cover an abdominal region of a wearer when worn, and the back panel being configured to at least partially cover a lower back region of the wearer when worn; a pants portion connected to the upper portion and located below the upper portion, the pants portion being configured to extend at least around a crotch and buttocks region of the wearer when worn; and an abdominal compression panel disposed in a stacked arrangement with the front panel and joined to the front panel, the abdominal compression panel being configured to at least partially cover the abdominal region of the wearer when worn, wherein a modulus of elasticity of the abdominal compression panel is greater than that of the upper portion and the pants portion.
By stacking and bonding a high-elasticity-modulus compression panel in the abdominal region of the front panel, the targeted compression force on the abdomen is significantly enhanced, effectively improving the shaping effect. Since the abdominal compression panel locally reinforces only the abdominal area while the rest of the garment maintains a lower modulus, it achieves strong abdominal compression while ensuring overall wearing comfort and freedom of movement, avoiding excessive compression on non-target areas. This in turn enhances abdominal compression and shaping effects while guaranteeing wearer comfort.
