Comfortable; does the job!
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015
This is one of the more comfortable shapers that actually does a decent job of holding things in. For reference, I am 5' 8" and weigh 195. Normally, I wear a size 16, which would have been an XL per rhe size chart. Because most said to use up, I bought the 2XL. I probably could have gone down one size if I wanted more belly control, but for smoothing, the larger size still definitely does the job.Things I like:1) The boy short portion is neither too long (cutting into my thighs) or too short (giving me panty lines.) It lies flat around my bum and even in light colored leggings, the shaper is not noticible.2) The top is not so tight that you have that extra bulge between bra & shaper.3) It does not "ride up" giving you a wedgie!4) It gently smooths the belly making fitted shirts look nicer.What I'd improve:1) The top edge (which has a no slip gripper) wants to flip over. It doesn't fall down or continue rolling, but it is a bit of an annoyance. The good thing is, you don't feel or see that the top edge has flipped so I consider this minor. I enclosed added a picture with one of my clingy white sweaters so you could see how it looks underneath.All in all, a great buy. May get one in black, too!
Snatched waist with a fat kitty
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2017
I am an 18/20 in pants that stretch. And a 20/22 in non stretchy material. My hips are a 55. 43 waist and 42 bra band. I'm pear shaped and carry most of my weight on the lower tummy, hips and thighs. I purchased the 3xl because I wanted that waist snatched. And it did just that. Very snug but comfortable. Most definitely my cheapest functioning shapewear. I will review on how it works with age in a few months. I wore it yesterday from 11am-9pm. No slips. No rolling. And super comfortable. I have a long torso and the rubber grip extends all the way to my bra line and covers any backfat created by your bra. Please be careful if you have acrylics or long nails. The tightness and the texture will surely make your acrylics slip while trying to shimmy into the shapewear and pull back on your nailbed. I almost cried like a little girl in the bathroom at the park. The reason for 4 star is due to the seam placement. I tried wearing a light, thin, tight, romper but the seam of this shapewear gives a massive cameltoe. My pumpum was looking fat. So I had to change. Not too modest for a family picnic.Overall, purchase it. You won't regret it for the price. Just don't wear any lightweight and tight pants. Bc your girl will look like she's popping.
The best daily shape wear!

I hunted these shapers for days. I had the black one for quite a long time, and unfortunately it grew legs and ran away on me. Major heartbreak. I knew what they looked like, I knew what the material was, and I knew when I found them I would know they were my beloved! But it took me quite a few days, and a couple wrong orders.These are best for daily wearing if you are like me and need a bit of smoothing in the belly area. I unfortunately have gained about 25 pounds over the last year, and have become very self-conscious (as if I wasn't before). That being said, I'm not doing as much as I should be to get rid of the weight, so stuffing myself into knock-off spanx is what I do. I can wear them all day at work under a dress and not feel too restricted. I get a size smaller TBH - I want to be smoothed! I want to look thinner than I actually am! I want these things to do the job they were made to do, which is to make me look less chubby. I bought a large and it was fun wiggling into them this morning. I am 5'10", wear a size 12 in pants, and my weight is evenly distributed. I have large legs, large belly, large boobs - I'm just large. I am 240 pounds.If you're looking for a good pair of daily wears, congratulations - you have found them. These are the most perfect, most comfortable, no girdle, no metal, just nicely fitting, nicely smoothing, well priced spanx there are. Enjoy!If you felt my review was helpful, please let me know!
Great shapewear, I would order it again!

Ordered this to wear under my wedding dress and I loved it! I'm usually a 3x top and 22/24 bottoms and ordered this product in a 4x after reading other reviews. It fit perfectly going 1 size up. I was looking for a shaper that would smooth and shape without making me feel like I couldn't breathe or was going to die of discomfort and I was very happy with this! It was a sort of medium level of control. The top did not roll down at all throughout my day and night, the fabric was soft but firm and thick and gave me a nice smooth and more even shape under my dress. I just attached some pictures from my wedding day where I'm wearing this shapewear under my dress that show me both standing and sitting. Highly recommended, and great price!
A must have ladies!!!

Baby this thing will suck you in & smooth you out! I've given birth to 3 babies & I have quite the muffin top going on & this helps. Now I'm not saying it gives me the appearance of a flat stomach because it doesn't, but it helps me not to look so poochy. I wear it when I'm working out or wearing a dress & you can't tell I have it on. Love it!
Sucks in the Mom pooch!!

I am 5' 3" and 170 pounds. I've had two kids and I have a ton of loose skin in my stomach area from my last pregnancy and weightloss. I needed something to suck me in for a Military ball. It has done a great job keeping everything smoothed out and sucked in. It's also super breathable. I thought a medium was going to be too small for my 41.75" hips, but it went right up. Awesome awesome shapewear for the Mom pooch.

My lovely pure white shapewear arrived this rainy afternoon, and I was SO excited to try it on. This was a tricky purchase for me as my questions pre purchase had come up with very different opinions regarding Yes-No in terms of my wearing it this summer on my by-the-beach walks I love so much. Having totally fallen in love with the scrap of shapewear, I am very very happy to see that ALL the opinions were right!First thing I noticed was that this mini-girdle/panty/shapey/shortie-thing is not at all the shiny sort of spandex. This material is softer-than-soft, as though the makers had captured a few chunks of white cumulus clouds from a summer sky. I'm 5'9", 165 pounds, older than old, and mostly male. I ordered a size Large for my body, and that was a good guess. (Oops, thought I, at first glanceâhave they sent me a Medium? Oh: No; that M is for Maidenform, Silly; just so you know. They sent me the right size, Large; all good.)Later I'll add a photo, but for now I recommend this for people who like what I bought it for" super-comfortable short shorts. Not much of my the garment will be seen, as I love wearing a T-shirt or sleeveless thing over-top of my choice of very short, extremely superb, such summer things. So the impression given on reflection by my full-length mirror is that my legs will love it and it will be perfect for those who conform to their own styles of fashion adventure. It really won't look very unusual at all; more just "short". And of course, like white jeans or shorts or ANYthing, I'll be hoping to keep these new "short-shorts" impossibly clean. But that's okay too: this is not a huge white thing to keep clean; it's a minuscule thing. Comfort, 10 out of 10; apparent quality of construction, 10 out of 10; basic gorgeous quotient, 10 out of 10. Excellent and fantastic. (And for the readers who find themselves smiling: super-duper; life is for being happy. Thanks for reading!

I purchased these because I was going to an event which I was wearing a bodycon dress to, and did not have the stomach for! I'm usually a size 12 on my lower half but after reading the comments about these products running small I picked the medium size, but I can't say I was impressed with them at all! I bough these because of the positive reviews calling this brand the best on the market and the price being unbeatable, while I was willing to fork out for a lot of spanx or something if I thought they'd do the trick. However these are really a smoothing product rather than a slimming one, my stomach still bulged out just as much as before, just in a slightly more uniform manner, still making the dress not all that flattering. I also bought these in nude and as shorts rather than pants as the dress was a pale pink and I didn't want them to show through, but after trying them on with the dress I could see there is a very visible hemline running right horizontally right across the bum of the shorts! Causing major VPL, I personally would wear these with anything bodycon- I ended up not wearing them to the event at all!

Stretchy material with a thicker less stretchy part for the ' area'. Smoothed and reduced appearance of midriff.Comfortable enough to wear for longer periods.

not too tight to cut off your circulation, but tight enough to lose a dress size!
