4 Best Shapewear for a FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area)

In addition to the hip, butt, thigh and lower back areas, the FUPA (short for the fat upper pubic area) is a popular target area when it comes to women's shapewear. Since everyone's body is unique, the FUPA might look a little different from person to person, but in terms of location, the general "upper pubic area" refers to the region below your belly button where the front zipper of your jeans is typically located. Having a FUPA is not a sign of unhealthiness or a cause of serious worry. A little extra weight might accumulate in this region after childbirth, abdominal surgery, losing weight or simply because of genetics. In most cases, you can get rid of this extra weight by implementing an exercise routine that targets the area, but FUPA-targeting shapewear pieces can instantly flatten the upper pubic area underneath clothing. 

When shopping for FUPA-concealing shapewear, be sure to keep a few things in mind. Shapewear comes in an array of styles, fits and levels of compression, so it's important to know your exact target areas and preferred compression level. To smooth a FUPA, look for firm compression shapewear or extra control in the lower tummy area in particular. For first-time shapewear buyers, this might seem like a lot to consider, but don't stress! Try a few different styles to see what you like and get a feel for what's out there. Between firm compression materials, comfortable inner fabrics and added features like butt-lifting mesh, Leonisa's shapewear for women can smooth and flatten your FUPA and then some. Whether you're looking to augment your exercise routine with occasional shapewear or find options for everyday wear, here are the best shapewear options for a FUPA.
