Stays in place in my review

Easy to put on. Will stay in place. Silicone strips on top and bottom bands prevent from rolling up your legs or down your torso. Doesn't really smooth out "muffin top" but makes it less noticeable. The only problem I found was, when wearing polyester pants with stretchy waistbands, they tend to slip down. LOL! Have to make sure they are in place at all times. LOL!

Pros
  • Not very slimming, wish it was more flattering, but comfy
Cons
  • mediocre quality, wore it once to try on and immediately punctured a hole. wish it was more durable

It rolls down & not easy to use the restroom

This doesn’t clip to your bra and regardless of what the other posts say about this particular Spanx body shaper - this one DOES NOT have an opening to easily go to the bathroom - you have to pull it down every time you go to the bathroom! One of the main reasons I bought this item particularly was because the reviews I read and also in the "Questions” area I read that it does have the opening to go to the bathroom. Bummer! Besides that it is an "OK” body shaper! It is a little thinner than…

Pros
  • I’ve purchased 4 of these so far! Love it!!!!
Cons
  • Can create a visible panty line under certain clothing

SIZE UP reccomended

I am size 12 and got the XL. It fit, but it was really tight, and hard to pull over my thighs. It did its job and tucked me in, however it was so tight it was hard to adjust in the bathroom after having a few cocktails. I reccomend sizing up for comfort, and make sure you don't have to go to the bathroom a lot when wearing it.

Pros
  • I was hoping for better since this is the most expensive control garment I hav
Cons
  • May not be flattering on all body shapes

These really worked!

I needed something to hold me in & offer support and this product did both! It was snug but not uncomfortable and I loved how I looked in my dress. The only negative would be using the bathroom. It does accommodate with a slit but for me I did not feel it was large enough to actually use. Overall I would definitely recommend this product.

Pros
  • Shell: 54% nylon, 46% spandex
Cons
  • Can cause bunching in certain areas

Spanx vs Shapermint

I bought both Spanx Higher Power Shorts and Shapermint High Waisted Body Shaper Shorts in the size each company suggested for me, in preparation for a family wedding where I wanted to look my best. I ended up buying the Spanx Higher Power Panties that have no legs; they were too restrictive, and there was no way I could go to the bathroom w/o completely disrobing (although the Spanx product did have a slit in the panty area, while the Shapermint product did not).I submit the photo above to show

Pros
  • Available in regular and plus sizes.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with sensitive stomachs

Nice fit but not what I was looking for

I am 5'4", 185 lbs., 44" bust, 37" waist, 44" hips, a 36H, and usually opt for an L in shapewear. I got an XL and L in these in the cafe au lait color, and it fit great everywhere for the most part. The XL was the better size. The color was great for the semi-tan white skin I have; most colors are so pale that they show through which these didn't. My only issues were that it is way too long for my torso (came past my boobs -- VERY high-waisted) which caused it to roll down, and it almost felt…

Pros
  • TRUE TO SIZE - SPANX fits all products on real women to ensure each product has the optimal fit. If you are unsure of your size, please reference the size chart.
Cons
  • Can feel restrictive and uncomfortable

Not What I Was Expecting

I'm 5'6", 138 lbs, dress size 10, ordered a medium based on size chart. It was a struggle (sort of) to get up and on, but once in place, fit nicely. Then I wore it to a wedding and by the end of the night, I could barely breathe, my stomach felt so tight I actually felt sick. I liked the "look" of it under my dress so I ordered another 1 in a large to have for my daughter's wedding next month but could not get them past mid-thigh, a problem I did NOT have w/ the medium. Maybe a mismark? But…

Pros
  • OK but expensive
Cons
  • Can cause abdominal discomfort

Typical Spanx but they do the trick

They are very uncomfortable (as expected) but did a good job for a special party. The slit crotch is essential! Can cause chafing in certain areas!

Pros
  • WON'T ROLL DOWN - The stay-put waistband features a no-slip strip that keeps your shapewear in place all day long.
Cons
  • Can cause chafing in certain areas

If you haven’t tried the Spanx brand— you NEED TO!

Everything it tucked and put away all in the right places 😆. It also is super comfortable. My favorite part though, it’s not noticeable under clothing. I love Spanx brand!

Pros
  • The price
Cons
  • Not suitable for use during physical activity or exercise

Buy larger size than the chart says.

Hello,This is the first Spanx I've owned . I looked at the size chart and was Leary of things that fit snug . I ordered a 1xl and very glad I did . I am 130 lbs , 5"3 , and this product stretches but I could not wear a smaller size without it being a fight to pull this up. I'm just normal size, size 10 pants to give you a good idea . So I recommend to size up ladies . I will be keeping this , I haven't had an occasion to wear it yet , I just tried it on and am leaving this review . No problems…

Cons

Not your department store spanx

These are not the spanx you get from a department store. They don’t snug you in quite right, and they certainly don’t make you look like celebrity. But, what they do well is that they don’t upset digestive system like department store spanx. They’ll smooth you… but it’ll be you the same.

Pros
  • Not for dresses, it sticks on to certain fabrics unlike the traditional ones with the shiny finish
Cons
  • May cause discomfort during extended wear

Smooths out the lumps without suffocating me

Oh how I love these Spanx! They are my favorite for under dresses or pants. They go up to my bra-line, so there's no "line" that shows through your clothes, they smooth out the ripples along my midriff and thighs, but keep my behind accentuated so it doesn't look flat. Best of all, I don't feel like I'm being suffocated when I wear them like I do in other brands. I can sit, eat, walk around and dance without them riding up, sliding down or cutting into me. I also like that if they fall a little

Pros
  • The shorts can be worn under a wide variety of outfits, including dresses, pants, and skirts, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe
Cons
  • May not be as effective as other shapewear products

The product looks just like the image shown

Its super stretchy and hides my Mommy's pooch spectacularly. Exactly what I wanted and expected when I ordered it. The only problem is the stretchy band does roll down. That could also be because I have a short torso. It's also somewhat difficult to get off when you need to use the restroom.

Pros
  • B07HSGLHDF
Cons
  • May be too bulky under certain clothing

Not a huge difference on me

I ordered this hoping it was going to pull my little pooch in and it sorta does but it’s not a huge difference as you can see. The first two photos are without the spanx and the second two are with the spanx. It slightly smooths me out and it doesn’t squish my butt which is a plus. I personally find it really comfortable and stretchy but I didn’t wear it long, only for about an hour to try them out. I weight 155 and I’m 5’4 I ordered a medium but I feel like I could have gotten a small and…

Pros
  • The waistband is designed to stay in place without rolling or digging into the skin, ensuring comfort throughout wear
Cons
  • Can be uncomfortable when worn with tight-fitting clothing

Nice compression on my review.

Gives alot of compression. I am 118lbs 5ft 2in and the small was exceptionally tight. I was getting pain from my rib cage area after about 2 hours. I would definitely recommend sizing up. Arrived quickly.

Pros
  • Cómoda y queda muy bien
Cons
  • Can be difficult to put on and take off

Spanx vs Shapermint

I tried both the Spanx and Shapermint shapewear in the same size. I bought a 3x and weigh 260 lbs with a few rolls in front. I returned the Shapermint. Here's why: The Shapermint first of all didn't fit and was a struggle to try to get on. The Spanx had more stretch and getting it on was much easier. The Shapermint material is not as stretchy and compressing as the Spanx. The Spanx held me together much better. I don't think any shapewear is meant to take off alot, but Spanx does a good job of…

Pros
  • Lingerie
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with larger thighs

Pretty good except…

This product does a great job holding everything in. I’ve worn it and washed it several times. No rips, snags or tears. The only thing is, the opening they have for you to use the bathroom is not functional. It doesn’t "open” when you sit. That means you either have to get creative😯or take them down which is difficult due to the amount of compression. I have Spanx high waisted tights that have the same type of opening and I have no problem using the bathroom whatsoever. In regards to them…

Pros
  • Clothes look great on me
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for larger busts

Power panties best in my review

This was a great purchase. Very comfortable and the stretch is stretching 👌🏾Only issue I had is with the waist band rolling down into my back fat . I think the sticky stuff on the waist band that is supposed to help with this, should be wider and go all around to the front.

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • May not prevent muffin top

Lots of stretch but constant rolling

Lots of stretch but kept rolling down. I had a lot of hope that this would provide support and a fit for an evening out, but the rolling started almost immediately. I often wear size 8 dresses, but I do have a narrow back so perhaps that may account for the lack of fit. If it would stay in place, it would provide the look I expected. I may return it and try a smaller size, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Pros
  • The SPANX brand is trusted and well-known for their high-quality and effective shapewear products
Cons
  • May not provide enough shaping for the arms

Fits well, torso is long

They will look tiny when you open the package but trust the stretch! A little bit goes a long way.These did a great job shaping. After 2 kids (currently 6 months postpartum) I have quite a bit of loose skin and this sucked it all in and kept it in place. For reference, I am 5’8” and 165lbs and I ordered a large.I am short-waisted so these came all the way up to the bottom of my bra and could’ve gone higher. I’m not upset about it though because as soon as I tried to scoot it down, the top…

Pros
  • Fabric a little fragile and I put my thumb through it rather easily. Just use caution
Cons
  • May cause sweating and discomfort in hot weather
