There are others which cover individual problem areas like the midriff section, only the bust or the buttocks. They make you look sleeker, highlighting your assets and hiding the flab. These control garments come in two kinds of variety one is made of very thin fabric which can be worn even under skinny jeans, the other one is slightly firmer made of different fabrics to give more prominent lift.
