3x Slips

If you're shopping for 3x slips, the best place to look are companies that provide quality plus size lingerie or undergarments.

Full Body Control Slip

Wearing a slip has fallen out of favor among many women for a variety of reasons, mostly because fully lined dresses and skirts don't require wearing a slip. However, slips have moved beyond just providing extra comfort and modesty. Many of today's slips are designed as foundational garments that create a thinner you. They allow your clothing to drape over your curves in the most flattering way. Even if you don't choose a slimming plus size slip, other benefits of wearing a slip include:

• Provides a touch of modesty for those skirts and dresses that are sheerer than you thought in the dressing room
• Prevents your dress or skirt from riding up
• Protects your skin from itchy fabrics
• Stops fabrics from sticking to your skin
• Helps clothing to lay flat

Slips come in a variety of styles to best complement the dress or skirt you're wearing. For example, some slips are slit, and some allow you to clip them to just the right length. Other types and styles come in a variety of lengths and include:

• Half slips
• Side-slit slips
• Full slips (also known as whole slips) – When purchasing a full slip to get the length you need, the length is measured from the waist down.
• Culotte slips
• Strapless slips
• Bra slips – Bra slips are full slips equipped with built-in breast support.

Slips are available in a host of fabrics these days. Each requires different care and it's best to follow the specific instructions found on the garment's tag. Popular fabrics include:

Cotton is comfortable and easy to keep clean. It is machine washable and bleach, detergents and hot water can be used. The downside is that cotton wrinkles easily and often requires ironing.

Nylon slips can be washed using cold water with an all purpose laundry detergent. For best results, wash nylon garments separately. If bleach is needed, use non-chlorine bleach. Line dry or use the lowest setting on your dryer and remove immediately to prevent wrinkling.

Rayon slips can be machine washed in cold water with a gentle detergent such as Woolite. Line dry to prevent wrinkles.

Satin is perfect for slips because it not only feels great against the skin but it is also durable. Check the tag on your particular garment for care instructions.

For best results, hand washing silk in lukewarm water with a non-alkaline soap is recommended. Roll in a towel to remove excess water and line dry.

Spandex is a lightweight fiber used in many shapewear garments. It stretches and is durable. Spandex can be hand or machine washed. If bleach is required, use an oxygen bleach. Your Spandex slip can be line dried or tumble dried on a low setting.
