Product Information
Full details
The DIM Control Modern Knickers in Black (Size 18) are designed for adult females seeking a smooth silhouette and moderate support. Their key benefit is a sculpted figure with a flat tummy effect, achieved through a blend of soft microfibre and elegant tulle. A potential consideration is that the 'control' aspect may offer less flexibility for those preferring a completely unrestricted feel.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of these control knickers?
The primary benefit is to sculpt the figure, providing a flat tummy effect and moderate support for a smoother silhouette under clothing.
Are these knickers comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed with soft microfibre and breathable tulle for comfort, making them suitable for all-day wear.
Can I wear these under tight-fitting clothes?
Absolutely. The design is intended to be invisible under clothes, making them perfect for form-fitting outfits.
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
It means the product has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health, meeting strict international standards.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is composed of 81% polyamide and 19% elastane.
How should I wash these knickers?
Always refer to the care label, but generally, a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric and structure.
Do these offer strong compression?
These knickers provide medium support and shaping, not high-impact compression. They are designed for smoothing and a comfortable sculpted effect.
Troubleshooting
Knicker seams feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your body shape.
Tulle areas snag or tear.
Handle with care during washing and wearing. Avoid contact with sharp objects and follow specific care instructions to preserve the delicate tulle.
Does not provide enough shaping.
These knickers offer medium support and smoothing. For stronger shaping, consider products specifically marketed with high-level compression.
