Review on Tummy Control High-Waisted Power Shorts For Women - SPANX Shapewear (Available In Regular & Plus Sizes) by Heather Aragon

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 smoothing and compressing bulges. The only drawback with Spanx is that although it stretches up to under the braline, it is hard to get it to stay in place on the top in the back. It is hard to reach your back to pull it in place so it does slide down - unless you have someone else pull it up in the back for you all the way. That would be the same for any shapewear that has that much coverage area. The Shapermint felt more like firm control vs. the compression you would expect from shapewear. The Spanx was very firm control. Other than the challenge in getting it in place in the back (may not be that way for everyone) I was happy with the way the Spanx went on, fit and compressed.
