Choose Your Shaping Level: SPANXsmooth™, SPANXshape™, or SPANXsculpt™
Just like our shapewear, SPANX swim now offers three distinct shaping levels, so you can choose the amount of support that feels best for you.
- SPANXsmooth™ Light smoothing for a natural feel. Perfect if you want subtle support with maximum comfort.
- SPANXshape™ Moderate shaping that smooths and contours the waist and tummy while still feeling flexible and easy.

Whether you’re looking for barely-there smoothing or confident sculpting, there’s a SPANX shaping swimsuit designed to meet you where you are.
