         9 . The shapewear garment of  claim 1 , wherein a coefficient of friction of an inner surface of the abdominal compression panel is less than a coefficient of friction of an inner surface of the front panel. 
     
     
         10 . The shapewear garment of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the shapewear garment comprises xylitol yarns. 
     
     
         11 . The shapewear garment of  claim 1 , wherein the upper portion and the pants portion are integrally knitted, and the knitted yarns of the upper portion and the pants portion comprise 70% to 80% nylon and 20% to 30% spandex, and the knitted yarns of the abdominal compression panel comprise 40% to 50% nylon and 50% to 60% spandex. 
     
     
         12 . The shapewear garment of  claim 11 , wherein the knitted yarns of the upper portion and the pants portion comprise 75.1% nylon and 24.9% spandex, and the knitted yarns of the abdominal compression panel comprise 45% nylon and 55% spandex. 
     
     
         13 . The shapewear garment of  claim 1 , wherein the back panel includes a back support region configured to at least cover a spinal region of the lower back of the wearer when worn, and a textile tension of the back support region is greater than a textile tension of an area surrounding the back support region. 
     
     
         14 . The shapewear garment of  claim 1 , wherein the pants portion comprises a front crotch panel and a buttocks panel, the buttocks panel comprising a buttocks support region positioned to surround the buttocks of the wearer when worn, and a textile tension of the buttocks support region is greater than a textile tension of an area surrounding the buttocks support region. 
     
     
         15 . A shapewear garment, comprising:
 an upper portion comprising a front panel and a back panel, the front panel being configured to at least partially cover an abdominal region of a wearer when worn, and the back panel being configured to at least partially cover a lower back region of the wearer when worn;   a pants portion connected to the upper portion and located below the upper portion, the pants portion being configured to extend at least around a crotch and buttocks region of the wearer when worn; and   a torso band connected to an upper end of the upper portion, the torso band being configured to encircle the torso of the wearer when worn, and an inner diameter of the torso band gradually decreasing from top to bottom.   
     
     
         16 . The shapewear garment of  claim 15 , wherein a modulus of elasticity of the torso band is greater than that of the upper portion and the pants portion. 
     
     
         17 . The shapewear garment of  claim 16 , wherein the torso band is sewn to the upper end of the upper portion.
