Great for a smooth tummy; not for thick thighs!
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2015
I was really bummed that this shaper didn't work quite as I hoped. It worked great in the tummy section - stayed up, smoothed me out & was surprisingly comfortable. What I failed to consider was my thick thighs. The underwear look unfortunately completely cut into my thighs, giving me horrible sausage legs! Looks like I need one that goes down the thighs, too, and I'm really bummed because this was so comfy! I was looking for a smooth line and it worked for my waist but not my whole body. Returned.
Comfortable for 10 hours! Doesn't help the waist, but flattens the stomach.

I wore this from 4pm to almost 2am (that's 10 hours!) to a dinner/party underneath a regular (not tight) cut maxi sheath dress. I was expecting it to be uncomfortable, but it wasn't at all! Sometimes I forgot I had it on. I felt a lot more confident although there was barely any difference when I looked in the mirror. It does make a too-small clingy but very lovely dress that my aunt gave me wearable, which is great.This garment makes the biggest difference in the tummy (or paunch for many of us): from the front the difference is only apparent if you're wearing bodycon clothing, but looking from the side it is apparent. You won't suddenly have a waist, you need good steelboned corsets for those, but your stomach looks firmer and sticks out less, and tight clothing will slip on easier. The elastic band at the top is thicker than expected, thicker than a bra strap. This seam was invisible under my regular cut dress, and not particularly obvious under my clingy dress, but I imagine it would show up if you bent your body and pulled the cloth against you.This didn't go as high on me as the picture suggested, and I had to tug to get it to line up right under my bra. Eventually it sags to about half an inch below. The front stayed up impressively well, although the back sagged a bit and was about 1.5 inches below the bottom of my bra strap by the end of the night, causing back fat. It could have been because I put the garment on after getting dressed, though. I think it would stay up well if you took the time to pull the back up properly. Overall, a good purchase for the price.Update after a year: I don't wear this very often, but it's still holding up great. The slippage problem is real though; even if you pull it up carefully before getting dressed it eventually sags down by a inch or two. Tape would probably do the trick.
But it LOOKED too small!!! Fit Like a GLOVE!!!

I ALMOST sent this one back...because I ordered a large, and when I received it, It looked too small to fit me. I know once I tried it on, it was mine! So, I asked for a size larger. My Friend came in and saw it..she says, Oh, that will Fit you!! It DID!! AND, it is MY FAVORITE GIRDLE!!! Great Hold, SO Easy to get on and off...a BIG PLUS+++. and it's so Soft and comfortable....Now I'm not saying they Run Large!! Just order your Normal size, but it has a lot of stretch in it, and may appear to be smaller than it is. It was in my case!!! VERY NICE!!!!

These are the best ever shapewear pants i have tried....and i've tried loads. They reaaly do hold your stomach in and come right up to the bra and never roll down.
Great in theory...

I'm sure it depends on your body type but even though this flattened my tummy, it created a ton of new issues. The seams on the front panel show right through the dress I was going to wear it under. Also, it made my behind and back look weird and created a visible panty line.

I am very impressed with this item. I bought it to go under my wedding dress and it is just perfect. It pulls in my tummy comfortably without feeling squashed and gives a really nice natural shape. The added bonus of crotch fastening is great when using the toilet! One doesn't have to strip everything off! Overall I highly recommend this! Better than Spanx!
Highly recommend!!!

I have worn this style for over six years and love them. They fit as a high waisted girdle, give me comfortable support and are extremely well made. There are other brands with similar styles which I have tried; however, these are the very best for me. I have a couple in this color and in black also. I really can't live without them!
Firm the area & Sexy sheer appearance
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016
I just received my product and I couldn't wait to try it open it. I ordered Large USA Fits true to size I'm a 12-14 size and it really firms my stomach area. But if a size 10, order a medium as there's a little room and large maybe too big. Remember you want a firm look. My favorite part is the sheer on the thighs. It makes you feel you put on a sexy under garment instead of a standard shapewear..
Shapeware gives unwanted shape
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017
I bought this shapeware to help me postpartum; I needed something for support on my abdomen. Though I can assure that it help me with the back pain due to my weaken abdominal muscles, and the pressure it gives felt comfortable, it kept rolling down on my back and it was giving me back rolls (it seem to be pushing my flesh upwards and out of the shapeware). To my horror the back rolls were getting âshapedâ on my body, once I realized this and it felt like it was too big on me I stopped using it. Maybe if I havenât lost my pregnancy weight as fast as I did and my body shape was different (instead of wide back, small waist and hips) it would had worked better.

Tried these on today and they fit just right.im a size 10-12 and I bought the medium sized ones..they don't completely flatten my tummy area but do the job ok..the tags fell off when I tried them on,if they hadn't I might of ordered the smaller size to try..sat down in them and had a little dance about,no rolling down which is good.im 5ft 2" and I can pull them under the bottom of my bra..there are hooks and eyes (like bra strap) on the crotch area so should be easy to go to the toilet..found them really easy to get on and off aswell..better than some brands I've tried on.included a photo of the sizes tag which was attached to the knickers.

I have used Maidenform Fexeese high waisted briefs for a number of years, because they give support to my spine without being too cumbersome. However, they are not available any more, so I had to find a substitute, and the easy up one works almost as well. I will buy them again if i need to, because eventually they do stretch around the waist,
Odd cut
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014
This definitely pulls everything in but like the other reviewers have said it leaves an oddly placed muffin top just under your bra line, so it makes it rather obvious that you're wearing a shaper. It was rather difficult to put on, but once in place it's as comfortable as can be expected. The design is very pretty and the clasp connection for using the restroom is very convenient, but is a little difficult to reconnect.

Very pleased with this product. Good value for money. I haven't worn it yet but from trying it on I was really impressed. I ordered two for size and when I went to order a replacement for the one I was returning the prices had all gone up. There was no option for me to get a replacement for the same price.
