MaidenformWomen's Shapewear Underwear, High-Waisted Body Shaper Shorts, Shapewear Tummy Control BoyshortOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

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!

I've been searching for a shaper on Amazon for a while, Id say over a month, and this is the fourth one I've tried. I have a Fleexes top that holds in my tummy so I figured I'd try the shaper. I got the brief at first, it fit fine but uncomfortably tight so I swapped over to the shorts! Today was my first day wearing them out (Id say about 6 hrs) and here's my take.For reference: 5'3", appx 173 lbs, got a large. In tops/dresses etc, I'm usually a M or L.Pros:-Tight band at the top, didn't have any slipping as long as I adjusted it right. Had to pull the back up higher to prevent flab.-Smoothing and slimming-Good length: comes right below the br* line on me but I am short-No cr**ch squeezing, shorts are very comfy!-Comfy breathable material for all day wear even in summer heat, didn't feel hot or suffocated-Slimmed the sides and the front! ( this is just a few inch difference from sucking in.)Cons:-The front of the shorts rolls up. I dont know why, there's plenty there to make them fit but they be rollin. Its not too noticeable tho-Gotta take it off and readjust for bathroom-The V line on the back..why? It shows slightly under tight or sheer clothing.Tips for possible buyers: This helps, but it doesn't work miracles! I have a waist trainer that gives that perfect hourglass shape--dont expect this to do all of that! It's just a shaper, its good for smoothing and slimming out problem areas or flab. If you're bigger on the lower half (wide hips/thighs) like me, and in between sizes, I suggest to size up.

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!

Soft and nice firm support. Size fits true. But sadly it does roll and the top band is thicker than I care for. I have another pair from a few years ago and I don’t have that issue and the band is t as thick.

The shaper is high compression and it fits so well. It doesn’t suffocate you and really holds you in. I recommend going down a size for better control. I initially got 2xl but it didn’t give me the support I was looking for so I went to the xl. I like that the boy short can’t be seen. It fits my thighs at a higher spot than the model which I like because it’s just like boy shorts underwear and not like short shorts. I even bought the regular version to this in xl and am very happy with it. It sits high up, under my bra so it hides the back fat and makes everything looks seamless. Highly recommend getting this.
