Once upon a time, fajas were something we thought were only for our old school mamás and abuelitas. Just the thought of owning shapewear (especially still in my 20s) seemed depressing to me. That is until I discovered that some of the hottest and most fit celebs swear by Spanx and shapewear. That's right girl, even Jennifer Lopez herself needs a little help smoothing things out every here and there. Don't be so quick to turn down the faja!

Doesn't matter how old, young or thin you are–every chica should have at least ONE faja in her closet. Why? Because we all experience bloating and we all have days where we can use a little help hiding those lumps and bumps. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not suggesting you cancel your gym membership and rock a faja all week long. Wearing shapewear on a regular basis can lead to organ compression along with a number of other health problems. But it definitely doesn't hurt to keep one in hand for special occasions. Still feeling weird about owning a faja? Here are six sexy celebs who rock shapewear with no shame!

Kim Kardashian
Kim has never been shy about her love for Spanx. She even said they were the "greatest invention" while being interviewed on the U.K.'s Lorraine show back in 2012. And it looks like she still feels the same way now because she was recently spotted rocking a form-fitted pink pencil skirt with a pair of Spanx peaking out from underneath!
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria has yet to admit that she wears any kind of shapewear, but she's been caught more than once showing off girdle-like underwear. You see? Even flacas wear fajas!
Jennifer Lopez
I never understood how Jennifer Lopez was able to squeeze that incredibly curvy body into some of those skin-tight jumpsuits she wears while performing. That was until I discovered her secret love for Spanx. During one of concerts, J.Lo hit the stage with a sheer bodysuit that totally exposed her thigh-long Spanx. Celebs really are just like us! At least when it comes to wearing fajas anyway.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia has no problem admitting that she uses fajas to give her that perfect hourglass figure. In fact, it was the inspiration behind her shapewear line for Kmart. "Usually when I go to an event I wear shapewear … It's not to hold anything in but to smooth everything out," she told Women's Wear Daily with no shame. Good for her!
Jessica Alba
There's a reason why Jessica Alba had a killer post-pregnancy body! She admitted in a interview with Net-A-Porter that she spent not one, not two, but THREE months wearing two fajas after giving birth to her second daughter, Haven. "I wore a double corset day and night for three months. It was sweaty, but worth it," she admitted. Kind of intense, no?
Beyonce
She might have the most fabulous bod in Hollywood, but Beyonce is no stranger to Spanx. She admitted she wears up to four pairs of Spanx stockings to "keep it tight" during her performances. No wonder her thighs always look SO toned!
