For most of us ladies on the big side it is not unusual for us to wear body shaping underwear popularly called girdles under our clothes to make us look slimmer. While that is not bad in itself,we do need to be careful as there is a risk of harming ourselves with such underwear.
According to an Orthorpaedic Surgeon, Akintayo Akindele, women that wear tight body shapers stand a risk of gastrointestinal problems, nerve damage and even deadly blood clots! He said these undergarments which also help women achieve a smooth, flat stomach could pose serious health risk as they may restrict blood flow around the body which can lead to blood clots which can travel to the lungs, heart, the brain and even lead to death.
Tight shape wear can be restrictive and can affect breathing properly as they squeeze the lungs and affect the flow of oxygen. He, however urged women to ensure that they wear body shapers that fit comfortably to prevent health problems.

Women are advised to eat right and engage in regular physical exercise for weight loss rather than resort to body shapers and if you must wear one, ensure you are comfortable in it that means your actual body size and not a smaller one contrary to popular belief.
