Spanx Shapewear for Women, Higher Power High-Waisted Everyday Essential Shaping Panties

I've worn Spanx for years. For me these work really well. Once I get into them after a bit of wriggling and giggling, they fit well. I have a short torso so the length comes up to my bra. I tuck the top of the short under my bra and it stays in place all day. They smooth out the muffin top and tummy giving me confidence to wear my summer dresses. I like the material and no seams. Not the prettiest to look at on my body but what shape wear is!! It serves a purpose and under clothes they do exactly as they are meant to. Great for the heat and stop the chub rub on the thighs too. I've tried many other brands in shapewear and always come back to Spanx. I agree with others when putting them on treat them carefully like a sheer pair of tights. For me they are a winner and I have several pairs. They give me more confidence particularly as I age. Great product.

I am 5ft 9 with quite a long torso. The body on these were so long I could pull them up to my shoulders. As they were so long, they kept rolling down. I also didn't feel they had any smoothing effect at all

I've worn lots of shapewear, some uncomfortable, some easy to get on, some impossible to breath in but I've never brought Spanx purely because of the price and now I'm kicking myself for all the money wasted. These are amazing. I brought them to wear under my wedding dress as I have a considerable mum-tum and also wanted to avoid any chub rub (it's fun being me) so I've been looking for a high waisted sort. I hesitated buying these because of the price and the fact that I worried the top would roll down. I tried them on, easy to get on, very soft and comfortable, theres a grip strip at the top but at the back not the front which I found odd at first. They held me in just the right amount, like a big hug. I could, after a few pounds of weight loss, move down a size but for now the XL based on my weight is just right. I didn't take them off after trying them on and wore them for the whole day and loved it. They didn't roll down once, they did get a little uneven at the top but nothing uncomfortable. I felt fantastic in them. I wore them under leggings and a top and although I did breathe out when I took them off I would certainly wear them again for everyday wear. Buying a pair for my mom too. I would have given them 5 stars as I think they should be more affordable.

I'm size 6-8 so probably not as tight as they're supposed to be but boy do these work. Smooth all lumps & bumps out perfectly & make a big difference to my flabby pot belly giving me the confidence to wear several slim fit old favourites I was on the verge of giving to the charity shop again. Comfortable enough to wear all day even when eating out. However, top does roll down making serruptitious adjustments necessary which is a real nuisance when wearing tighter tops. Also need to pull them down to wee although do find this reasonably quick & easy. Despite problems still really love my spanx. By far the best shapewear I tried.

Well, what can I say, I have just taken these out of the packet to try them so I could review them and I have damaged them whilst putting them on. Spanx are a really good make that I have used regularly over the years and this has never happened to me before, so not sure if they have changed how they make them but my thumb nail pierced the fabric as I pulled them on, leaving a hole which will get worse with use. I did not expect this from this product. Now let’s face it ladies, shapewear is not easy to navigate but goodness me for this to happen when I am just trying them for size is really disappointing, hence my 3* rating. However, once on they were comfortable.

This are great as underwear, they give support in all the right places and are simply undetectable. I have a big post baby tum and they actually did hold everything in quite well - felt really great in them. Will certainly recommend to others to buy as they are worth every penny, they are! Update 13/07/13 Above review was after excitedly trying them on for the first time, to see if the size was OK. However, next time i wore them, it was for 7 hrs straight. On taking them off, was mortified to discover a large ladder running from the back end of gusset all the way up the back of these! It is needless to say, that i was utterly and thoroughly gutted! I mean, i only got to wear them properly just the one time! Well i would therefore have to retract my sentiment about them being well worth every penny. Nah nah quite the opposite actually. In present day economic scenario where one watches every hard earned penny spent, a girl certainly wants to purchase products that "Do what it says they do on the box" plus are durable and a class act as well.

When put on they do the trick but they roll down every single time! Such a shame. It has a very thin plastic band at the tip that's not enough to hold it up. Shame.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I would not recommend this product unless you just want some thin, see-through, flesh coloured, large pants. I needed something flesh-coloured for Halloween, and while I usually avoid shapewear, I thought it would be the easiest option, with a bonus of shaping me a bit. I decided to choose Spanx as it was a well-known brand and I expected good quality. I chose the product size appropriate to my body size and sizing seems accurate. Not sure why this is marketed as "Tummy Control" as the only area is seems to even attempt to control is the lower thigh. To add to the disappointment, the material is so thin that even with normal fingernails, it easily starts to tear when trying to stop if from rolling down, because the anti-rolling material is also completely useless.
