Power Short

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 a little long for my torso (came right up to the base of my boobs) which caused it to roll down, and it almost felt like tearing when pulling them up and down. The nice thing is that the torso being too long was basically remedied by adjusting it to not be pulled up as high, and this didn't cause it to wrinkle at all. Highly recommend!!

Performed as advertised. Sturdy, stretchy enough, robust seams even with legitimate tugging. Comfortable for women, but I could see it being quite restrictive for men. Price point isn't unacceptable.

I'm 5'6" and weigh 140 lbs. I ordered the medium to give me a smooth look when wearing snug skirts and dresses. It fits fine. Except while pulling it up and over my butt, my thumb punctured a hole in the fabric and it began to run. Thin fabric, similar to nylons. Also the waist tends to roll although it's a perfect fit. It needs rubber to hold it in place. Item needs improvement.

I don’t think this is actually made by Spanx. The quality is very, very poor. I wore once and a hole developed after the first wash. Wore a second time and now the waist is unraveling. Don’t waste your money!!

It's more compression than you would expect for the thickness, which I appreciate as I'm sensitive to overheating. No double panels and such. Soft and stretchy. I don't know why but this ran really small for me -- I'm a Small on the Spanx size chart but even sizing up twice to size L the waistband cuts in and rolls down whenever I bend. Seems like an unavoidable effect of 1. no grips/silicone on a thin waistband, and 2. the position on my lower ribs will make it slip under them when I move by rolling downIt's the cheapest high-compression option from Spanx. Would be great if they offered a wider waistband with silicone grips. Of all the different compression levels and styles of shorts Spanx offers, this is literally the only one I've come across that has no silicone grips on the waist...I appreciate the lack of double gusset. That was super uncomfortable for me, maybe because I'm transmasc and use T.I also tried Oncore but the thick bonded panels + double gusset were super uncomfortable and I quickly overheated.

Fit great, very slimming.

Did what I wanted; smoothed the lumps & bumps!

I'm not impressed with these, especially for the price. I managed to put a run in them on my first wear, which I've never done with shapewear before. They stretch too thin and are sheer in the back. They also roll down around the waist, which is uncomfortable and unflattering. The control is about average. I wanted a more comfortable pair for daily wear (i.e. no boning or painful elastic lining,) but these are a miss.
