Swimsuit that slims and shapes – find the right one
Shaping swimsuits that flatter your figure – how to find the right one
A swimsuit that shapes and enhances your figure features a shapewear panel that supports the tummy and defines the waist. MAYAS' swimsuits with a 4-layer shapewear panel offer the most versatile solution from 899 kr.
What makes a swimsuit shaping?
A shaping swimsuit isn't just ordinary swimwear — it's designed with strategic construction to enhance your natural figure. It's all about the intelligent placement of compression panels and quality materials.
The shapewear panel in a MAYAS swimsuit extends from the ribcage through the tummy and down to the hips. It provides support without being uncomfortable. You get a smooth, defined silhouette where the tummy lies flat, the waist appears more pronounced, and your overall figure is shown off in the best possible way.
The fabric — Italian materials that are OEKO-TEX 100 certified — ensures the panel never bunches or shifts. It stays exactly where it should, every single time you wear your swimsuit.
Step-by-step: How to find your shaping swimsuit
Step 1: Find your size
Start here. Measure your bust, waist, and hips accurately, and compare with our size guide at mayas.co/pages/kropstyper. A poor fit undermines the whole point of shaping. You need a swimsuit that fits snugly, but still allows you to breathe freely.
Step 2: Choose your shaping level with pads
Standard pads (included) provide a natural, smooth shape. Light Push-Up pads (49 kr) add elegant lift. Super Push-Up pads (49 kr) deliver maximum shape and volume. Think about where you'll be wearing the swimsuit — everyday use or a special occasion?
Step 3: Choose a colour to suit your skin tone
Black and Navy suit all skin tones. If you have a warm skin tone (olive or golden skin), try Chestnut or Dusty Green. Cool skin tone (rosy or bluish undertones)? King Blue or Silky Blue is perfect. Nude creates the illusion of longer legs and adds elegance.
Step 4: Think about the occasion
Pool or beach? Everyday wear or holiday? Aurora is perfect for bust support; Valencia has a high waist that naturally defines the tummy; Celestia is classic and elegant; Harmony offers all-round versatility. Each style shapes in its own unique way.
