Should shapewear be hard to put on?

Let's be honest — these aren't stretchy pajamas or sweats, so it's normal to need a bit of muscle to pull on a garment that's meant to be skin tight. If your shapewear is too easy to put on, that's probably a sign it won't be nearly compressive enough to give you any significant results. Trust the process, it's meant to be a tight garment! 

That said, your shapewear should never be impossible or painful to put on. If you're truly breaking a sweat or struggling to wear it, you should either try a size up or look for a different shapewear style.
