Maidenform Women's Seamless Mid-waist Thigh Slimmer Shapewear, Soft & Lightweight Firm Control Thigh Shaper Shapewear Briefs (pack of 1)

The ‘Big Butt’ features is uncomfortable and adds extra material making compression less effective

What am I reviewing? I am reviewing Maidenform’s Seamless Mid-Waist Thigh Slimmer How this arrived? In a clear plastic bag, that was simply, but securely, taped shut. I typically prefer heat sealed as I can still stick my finger inside the bag, and I have no idea what may have crawled into that bag from its country of origin to me. [I think a product’s integrity could be compromised when it’s not sealed perfectly from the factory.] Thoughts? I was excited to select this and am mostly happy after wearing. Why I say mostly is because this just has an unusual strap, that is over ( ¼”) wide and acts and feels like I was wearing a thong that I could feel; and I just was no expecting that. Sure, it helps in trying to firm and shape, but I just was not expecting it, and I feel its presence. It’s also an observable feature that just does not look it was sewn-in correctly, as there is a bit of bunching, until worn. Otherwise, this does give some level of support. On a support scale of (1) to (3), with (3) being the highest, this is marketed as a (2), so kind of middle of the road for firm control. Nevertheless, these do offer some slimming properties, which I like. Care instructions? Care instructions are hard to read and are printed on the inside; I use a cold-water wash; do NOT use fabric softener and line dry; that’s it. Weight? The slimmer’s weigh in at about (98) grams, which is just over (3) ounces. Shrinkage? If these did, I did not notice. Fit? I thought it true to sizing. Ride-up? No issues there. Design? Sharp, clean, and thoughtful design. Chafing? None. Tag? Printed tag and a hangtag noting some features. Color? True to listing. Country of origin? Made in Thailand Perfect? Hmm, no, but very good. For me, a strong four (4) star. I hope my thoughts added information.

Just received this item and I have already ordered another one in a different color. I love that it has firm control, but it is the first one that actually was easy to pull up. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and I have limitations, which makes it very difficult to use very tight foundation.

The shapewear description is not accurate. The tummy control was not at all firm. It was comfortable, but the material was thin and there was little to no firmness, let alone tummy control. I’ve bought many maidenform shapewear products over the years and this is the first time I’ve been very disappointed.

Bummed because these roll up at the bottom therefore defeating the purpose of them. They fit fine so it’s not like they’re too small or too big. They would actually be very comfortable if only they didn’t roll up and cause chafing!
