SHAPERMINTShapewear for Women - High-Waisted Shapewear Tummy Control Shorts, Faja Body Shaper, Underwear for Women

I love this product. I needed these for a last minute gala. I received them the day before and just prayed they would work. This product worked great. The size was true to size. I got a large. It looked small in the package, but it quickly adjusted to my curvy shape as soon as I put it on and it kept everything tucked in the right places. It does not pinch the legs like some products and was very comfortable to wear. I actually forgot I had put it on. Will definitely buy again.

Comfortable Shapewear, no roll for me. I detest tight clothing, but needed this to wear under a dress for a special occasion. I chose one size bigger for myself -XL- even though I wear women's size 12, thick-waisted, 5'4", 158#. Just enough compression to smooth out my fat roll and comfortable enough to wear under a dress on a hot Texas summer day. I don't plan to wear panties with it, hoping it would offer a more figure-smoothing look. The upper edge easily stretches/reaches to upper end of my torso just under by breast - will wear a (separate) bra with that.

This garment is very comfortable, the most comfortable tummy controller I've worn. I wore it for 8hrs to an event and as light and comfortable as it is, I was surprised by how well it controls the tummy, hips area. It's high waisted and DID NOT fold down, but stayed in place, above the midriff. I simply have it a 4-star rating bc it kept riding up on the thighs. It wasn't a problem with the thighs riding up, as I was wearing a skirt (with a form fitting dress/skirt, it may be an issue), it also wasn't uncomfortable, just a bit annoying. I really do like this garment for control, comfort, and it felt very light/breathable even in the heat of summer. It fits true to size, I ordered XL, the same size as my leggings.

Lots of the reviews described the product being too big when ordering the size according to the chart. The shorts fit, but they didn't really provide the support expected. On the advice of a few, I purchased a size xs/s instead of m/l like I normally do.When I looked at the shorts, I thought there was no way that I was going to be able to fit my skinny-squishy 165lb body in those itty-bitty things. But I did. And without much effort at all. They're tight, but they're not snatching my waist like they're supposed to. Everything is smoothed out. No bulges. And I can breathe, but it didn't shape my stomach. My stomach is still pooching out like it did before. There's just smooth flub-blub now instead of multiple flub-blubs and no muffin top (which is nice).I sat down on the bed to see if it was possible to still breathe (it was) and I looked at the package. On the back of the package it says "Plus-size black small" and it now makes sense why I am able to wear it.I'm 5'11. 165lbs. All of my weight is in my stomach, hips, and thighs. I wear a size 10-12 in jeans.Plus-sized clothing is made specifically to accommodate a body type that is beautifully voluptuous. Plus-sized clothing is labeled "16W" or "16 curvy" fur example. The W or curvy indicating that it will fit a fuller figured individual. I know there's not a small in plus-size, but I think I've figured it out nonetheless:I have a friend that wears a size 14 curvy which is another way to tell the shopper that this product is constructed differently from a size 14 regular. The curvy or the W are constructed in a way that allows a fuller figure to settle comfortably unlike the regular that would be far too tight and constricting in the waiste, knees, and calves. Anyway...I checked on Amazon and found a plus-size Shapermint, high waisted shaper shorts that can be purchased in size S-3xl. These shorts are made like the curvy or W to accommodate curves that a woman who wore a regular small would not have. I believe the seller may have accidentally shipped a plus-sized garment when the purchaser wanted a regular rather than plus. And I think that this is why some buyers are talking about sizing down while others are describing being swallowed by a boa constrictor and not being able to breathe, or move, or sit.Maybe if I had a regular small then I'd be complaining about that, too because, trust me, I may be skinny-squishy but I haven't been able to fit into a small anything since 9th grade. And that was 32 years ago. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve lost a lot weight and have some loose skin on my stomach, there still is some fat in there but I just wanted to smooth it out a bit. I hate compression wear, it’s so uncomfortable. This is nice and soft, not really compression, suck you totally type of thing.It smoothed me out a bit, didn’t suck me in, just smoothed out a bit which is what I wanted. Light enough for summer, I live in the desert and it was 100 degrees the first day I wore it. I had no issue with it rolling down at the top, the grippy strips worked. The shorts didn’t roll up either. The shorts would be great for chub rub, if you need that. I like having shorts under dresses, I’m 5’9 and dresses can be kinda short on me so I feel better with some style of shorts.I am super happy with them! Would buy again!

Years ago, I swore I would never again wear an uncomfortable body shaper. But when I tried on a dress in my closet that I wanted to wear to a dinner next week, and saw panty lines, pulling and a stomach bulge, I knew I had 3 choices: lose enough weight in one week (LOL!), find a new dress, or order some shapewear. I remembered that the NY Times' Wirecutter had done a shapewear review so I found that article and decided to order the Shapermint high-waisted shaper. I ordered two sizes because I'm always surprised to find that I'm larger than I think I am, but thankfully I never even opened the larger one. I'm 5'2" and 165 lbs and the M-L fit well. I took before and after pictures, but truthfully, it was hard to see any difference in the pictures so I haven't included them with this review. BUT the important thing is that I could see a difference in the mirror and the Shapermint will allow me to feel confident while wearing the dress. Does it give me my old figure back? No, but it does smooth me out with the top of the shaper coming up to my bra line and there is no thigh bulge where the shaper ends. All this while being surprisingly comfortable! And the price is very reasonable.
