While we tend to associate the term ‘self care’ with bubble baths and meditation sessions, it can look different for everyone. One underrated way to treat yourself with the love and dignity you so deserve? Throwing out all of those holey, saggy or ill-fitting items in your underwear drawer with pieces that actually make you feel like the best version of yourself. After all, lingerie is something most of us wear every single day, and it’s important to get the foundations right.
But, once you’ve completed that radical act of self-love, what do you replace it with? As Australia’s number one shapewear brand, Nancy Ganz has been creating comfortable and flattering essentials for all shapes and sizes since 1990. While many of the brand’s pieces are great for giving you an extra confidence boost on special occasions, it’s also just launched the new ‘Body Smart’ collection that’s perfect for everyday wear.
A special offer for International Women’s Day:
Designed by women for women, it’s fitting that the brand is giving away 23 per cent sitewide ahead of International Women’s Day on Saturday March 8. According to the ABS, the national gender pay gap is 11.9 per cent — so in solidarity, the empowering female-founded brand is giving back double that (23 per cent) with the code PAYGAP23 at the checkout. Now that’s what we call self-care.
While shapewear has a reputation for being restrictive and uncomfortable (often the price you pay for a surgery-free ‘nip and tuck’), this range is anything but. Designed with an active lifestyle in mind, it features super soft, breathable modal yarn that can be easily worn all day. Crafted from a free-cut fabric, the pieces lightly hug your silhouette to accentuate curves, without digging into your skin. Plus, with a ‘smoothing’ effect, there’s no visible pantylines or chafing in sight.
The Body Smart lineup also features a deodorising Lycra yarn that keeps you feeling cool and fresh for longer while neutralising odour. This makes it ideal for anyone dealing with menopausal sweats or discharge, or who just wants an extra layer of protection against leakage.
To build out your collection, you can choose from briefs and thongs in beige and black, which provide a light sculpting effect to your mid-section. Or, for extra support, opt for the high-waisted shorts which gently cinch in the thighs and tummy. There’s also a beige thong bodysuit with a double layer front for added support, which is perfect for wearing under dresses.
Like the rest of the Nancy Ganz range, the inclusive Body Smart collection goes from a size 8 to a size 16. Covering you for all occasions, you can also pick up shaping bras, full-body jumpsuits, bamboo slips and tanks.
You can shop the full collection here and don’t forget to use the code PAYGAP23 at the checkout for 23 per cent off.
