Full transparency:I am a Lizzo stan.
I wanted to trust my girl Lizzo, but I was apprehensive.
But,according to Lizzo, she createdYittywith the goal of changing the way fat people view shapewear.
I want to revolutionize our relationship with shapewear.
So with that, I decided to try it.

Ive had DDs since seventh grade, and theyve only expanded and sagged over the years.
My mom, who was visiting from Oregon, audibly gasped when she realized I wasnt wearing a bra.
TheNearly Naked Shaping Midi Bra, however, does both.
My partner, whos non-binary and wears chest binders every day, also tried out the bra.
It didnt roll up and gave them extra support.
To quote them: No boob was left behind in our household.
I also ordered theNearly Naked Shaping High Waist Thong.
I stopped wearing thongs a few years ago because theyre too uncomfortable.
This one, however, was soft and wearable.
If anything, Id probably wear this as lingerie with the Midi Bra.
Nearly Naked Shaping MidThigh Bodysuit
Yall… this bodysuit iscrotchless.
The open gusset is bathroom friendly and features a crotchless open design.
Peeing in this onesie was super convenient and un-messy aspects that come in handy on two-for-one margarita night.
The seamless design is also a plus it didnt dig into my thighs or cut off circulation.
I tried it on with one of my favorite bodycon dresses and loved how it smoothed me out.
I was also surprised at the shape it gave me without a bra.
I really could wear this by itself under a look, which is fewer layers than Id typically wear.
Cons
Shapewear in general isnt accessibility-friendly due to how tight the material is.
It requires a lot of squeezing, shimmying, and full-on contorting to put on.
This isnt necessarily a Yitty problem, though, its a shapewear problem.
Yitty nailed it, addressing the variety and diversity of plus-size bodies with every design.
Everything I tried felt lightweight and stayed in place, even against the most vigorous booty shaking.
Each item smoothed me out without reshaping my body, cutting off my circulation, or feeling painful.
10/10 would shop again.
