The 8 Best Arm Shapers

This wiki has been updated 15 times since it was first published in November of 2018. The arms are the hardest body part to target in workouts. Through diet and exercise, most women can see significant improvements in their stomach, thighs, and waistline, but those tricky bat wings can be stubborn. These shapers tuck away loose skin, helping you create a figure that looks the way you feel. They're also useful for post-operation lift and liposuction patients. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Ahh By Rhonda Shear

If you don't like dealing with hooks and loops, then you'll love the simple pull-over design of the Ahh By Rhonda Shear (about $26). It is made with a blend of nylon and spandex, and features a narrow band that some wearers find to be more comfortable than other options.

Available in plus sizes
Nice lightweight feel
Smooths out back rolls too

2. Brabic Post-Surgical

The Brabic Post-Surgical (around $17) serves a dual purpose, as it can also help eliminate posture issues. It has some nice aesthetic features, such as decorative trim at the sleeve and ab hems, and even offers a significant pushup effect in the chest region.

Three-quarter length sleeves
Four compression levels
Comfortable enough for all-day wear

3. Larrycard Slimmer

Whether you're facing saggy skin after liposuction or just want a more sculpted look for a special event, the impressive compression of the Larrycard Slimmer (appx. $27) can smooth out the most unsightly of bulges. Plus, its seams are comfortably placed away from the armpit.

Never shifts or bunches
Doesn't feel itchy
Available in sizes from xs to xxxl

4. Slimbelle Corrector

The Slimbelle Corrector (about $17) doesn't hinder movement, while still doing an effective job of hiding unwanted flab. Its sleeves are seamless to ensure nobody notices it beneath your regular clothing, allowing for total discretion.

Fabric breathes well
Never creases or wrinkles
Makes breasts look more perky

5. Burvogue Body Control

Your confidence will get a huge boost when you put on the Burvogue Body Control (around $21), as it tightens you up in several regions. A strap across the top of the chest works to pull in underarm fat, while also keeping the bust area in place.

Made from moisture-wicking material
Dual closure system
Not ideal for shorter torsos

6. Aranza Moderate Brassiere

Bustier women who'd like to remove attention from that area or just create a more conservative look will appreciate the full coverage of the Aranza Moderate Brassiere (appx. $39). Meanwhile, its long sleeves compress both the upper and lower arm.

Made mostly of cotton
Cups lift and separate
The cocoa hue doesn't suit everyone

7. Joyshaper Slimming Vest

Curtail your mom's exhortations to "Stand up straight" by wearing the Joyshaper Slimming Vest (appx. $19). Its X-shaped seams actually pull the shoulders up and back, creating a more confident posture. It can also effectively trim inches off the arms.

Fits true to size
Makes some people sweat
Uncomfortable when bending over

8. SlimMe Reach

If you only want to address some arm flab and nothing more, then the basic SlimMe Reach (appx. $21) is for you. The simple shrug style is easy to slip on and does not interfere with the aesthetic in the bust or torso region, but it can shift throughout the day.

Doesn't have any bothersome tags
Works very well for plus-size women
Large seams irritate some wearers
