  We consider four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories that are
S-confining, that is they are dual to a Wess-Zumino model. S-confining theories
with a simple gauge group have been classified. We prove all the S-confining
dualities in the list, when the matter fields transform in rank-$1$ and/or
rank-$2$ representations. Our only assumptions are the S-confining dualities
for $SU(N)$ with $N+1$ flavors and for $Usp(2N)$ with $2N+4$ fundamentals. The
strategy consists in a sequence of deconfinements and re-confinements. We pay
special attention to the explicit superpotential at each step.
