The Best Shapewear in NZ (2026)
, by Glide Shapewear , 5 min reading time
Looking for the best shapewear in NZ? We're a local brand with fast NZ shipping — here's an honest breakdown of our top bodysuits and bras, with direct links to shop.
Let's be honest. Most shapewear is either uncomfortable, falls apart after three washes, or takes two weeks to arrive from a warehouse overseas. None of that is good enough.
Glide Shapewear is different. We're a New Zealand brand, which means your order ships fast — we're talking actual New Zealand delivery times, not a month of watching a tracking number that never moves. And because we're local, we care about what we put our name on. Every piece in our range has been chosen for fabric quality, real compression performance, and the kind of fit that doesn't make you want to rip it off by lunchtime.
Here's an honest look at the best shapewear in NZ right now — and yes, it's all ours, because we genuinely think it's that good.
The Best Everyday Shapewear Bodysuit in NZ
ContourOne Shapewear G-String Bodysuit — $64.95
This is the one. Our bestselling everyday bodysuit for a reason. The ContourOne smooths your stomach, supports your bust, and disappears under literally anything — dresses, work pants, tight tops. The g-string cut means no visible lines, and the fabric is soft enough that you'll actually want to wear it.
Available in Brown and Black. Sizes XS–2XL. If you only buy one piece of shapewear this year, make it this one.
Best Budget Shapewear Bodysuit
Bold Ambition Bodysuit — $54.95
Proof that good shapewear doesn't have to cost a fortune. The Bold Ambition is a sleeveless, scoop-neck bodysuit that smooths and sculpts without being bulky or restrictive. Light compression, brilliant everyday coverage, and a price point that means you can grab two colours without the guilt.
Available in Black in sizes XS–XL.
Best Shapewear for Going Out
Neon Nights Bodysuit — $79
A heart-shaped neckline, a front zip, and sculpting built right in. The Neon Nights is the going-out bodysuit that does double duty — it's an outfit and your shapewear in one. Tucks everything in while looking like you tried (even when you didn't).
Available in Black, sizes XS–XL.
Best Shapewear Bodysuit for Work
Smooth Criminal Bodysuit — $69
Round neck, thong cut, seamless finish. The Smooth Criminal is your reliable 9-to-5 piece — it stays put all day, doesn't roll or bunch, and gives you a smooth canvas under everything from blazers to bodycon dresses. Criminal levels of smooth is not an exaggeration.
Available in Black and Beige, sizes XS–XL.
Best Shapewear Bodysuit With a Zip
Zip Thong Tummy Control Bodysuit — $129
Long sleeves, front zip, seamless sculpting from collar to hip. This is the bodysuit for the days you want to look completely put-together with zero effort. The zip makes getting dressed faster, the long sleeves cover your arms, and the built-in tummy control does the heavy lifting underneath.
Available in Black and Caramel Brown, sizes XS/S through 3XL/4XL.
Best Plunge Shapewear for Low-Cut Outfits
PlungePerfect Zip Bodysuit — $99
Deep V neckline with built-in chest support, so you can go low-cut without sacrificing shape. An inner zip makes it easy to wear and take off, and the seamless sculpting holds everything together underneath. This one sells fast — available in Hot Pink, Black, and more.
Sizes XS–2XL.
Best Shapewear Bodysuit Under $70
Sleek & Seek Bodysuit — $69
Stomach. Waist. Thighs. All sorted. The Sleek & Seek is a mid-thigh sculpting bodysuit that gives you a smooth hourglass silhouette without the grip-of-death feeling. No pinching, no rolling, just a clean, sculpted line from waist to mid-thigh.
Available in Black, sizes XS–XL.
Best Everyday Wireless Bra in NZ
Barely There Bra — $39
The bra you forget you're wearing. Wireless, seamless, butter-soft, and actually supportive — the Barely There is the everyday bra that every Glide Tribe member comes back to. It's not just comfortable, it's the kind of comfortable where you stop noticing you're wearing a bra. Available in multiple colours starting from $39.
Best Budget Bra in NZ
SculptEase Bra — from $29
Seamless, wireless, and shaped to work with your curves rather than against them. The SculptEase is a Glide Tribe favourite — it smooths back fat, gives a natural lift, and comes in a range of colours. $29 for a bra this good is a no-brainer.
Why Buy NZ Shapewear From Glide?
Here's the honest answer: because it actually arrives. Ordering shapewear from overseas means waiting weeks, paying extra for shipping, and dealing with returns processes that go nowhere. As a New Zealand brand, we ship from right here, which means your order moves fast.
Beyond speed, it comes down to quality. Every Glide piece uses high-grade fabric — think premium nylon blends, seamless construction, and compression that holds its shape wash after wash. We're not interested in products that go saggy after a month. Neither are you.
We size from XS through to 5XL across most of our range, because shapewear should be for everyone — not just one body type.
