Shapewear, tummy trimmers, waist trainers, body shapers... they come in a variety of names and target a variety of areas. For some, they may be a quick fix to tummy tucking<\/a>. To others, they provide a long-term solution to losing inches. There are plenty of different ones out there - ones\u00a0that target thighs, the upper arms, the booty and the stomach. But do they really work?<\/p>

According to\u00a0celebrity personal trainer Kali O\u2019Mard, these body shapers aren\u2019t so good at giving you the permanent results you are looking for, and this is because all you are doing is \u201ccompressing your stomach and putting the fat elsewhere, not getting rid of it<\/em>\u201d. O\u2019Mard instead suggests that you \u201cexercise, eat well and eliminate refined and processed foods from your diet. Then you\u2019ll have the abs and waist of your dreams<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>

That said, it might be worth noting that shapewear\u00a0can actually help you achieve a temporary slimming effect when worn underneath clothes like lingerie<\/a>. If you\u2019re trying on a tight-fitting wrap dress and have a few rolls of flab you want to conceal, a waist-trimming shaper might be just the thing to hide your unwanted bumps and lumps. You don't have to go on a crazy diet<\/a> - just fake the weight loss!<\/p>

Check out the gallery above for a handful of shapewear you can try our for yourself.<\/p>
