Jockey's Shapewear Survey
Apparel company Jockey International has found in a survey that many women still have concerns about
wearing shapewear, with nearly half saying they would find it uncomfortable.
In response, Jockey has launched a website dedicated to undergarment items that help slim, smooth, flatten and
flatter, it said.
"It's important for women to realize that shapewear has come a long way in recent years," explains Sally
Tomkins, senior vice president, design, research and development at Jockey International.
In its survey of 1,000 US women, the company found that nearly half (49%) of women say they do not wear
shapewear more often because they think it is uncomfortable.
More than one in ten (14%) said it was because they don't want anyone to know they are wearing shapewear
though, and nearly one in ten (9%) women said wearing shapewear makes them feel 'unsexy'.
