What I've searched for!

These high waist shorts are the best shapers I have tried. They provide light support which is enough to give a smooth look under clothes. The legs don't roll up and the high waist also stays in place. They don't show through the clothes. Muffin tops are gone thanks to the high waist. My trick is to buy them larger than needed so that there is no bulge or pressure anywhere. They are very comfortable. I bought them in both black and true nude.

Doesn't do anything

It is so thin, it feels like those seamless underwears but make it high waisted and mid thigh. Doesn't do any type of controlling.

no panty lines!

This item was recommended to me to wear under a very tight fitting gown. It shaped me so that I felt very confident, and there were no lines at the waist or thigh areas due to the "invisible" edges of the garment. It runs small (I am 110#) but the Small felt a little tight on me. I love the shaping shorts and am sure I will get a lot of use out of them, under many styles of clothing,

Good Shaping Shorts But

Rolls up on my legs and rolls down on my waist. They have a good hold which makes them very uncomfortable when they roll up / down.

Doesnt move at all on a curvy body

If you’re curvy and you’ve always had your spanx riding up your thighs or down your belly, this is your solution! I’ve never had a spanx this comfortable that stays in place at all! Absolutely love it! Just ensure that you get your correct size.. too small might ride up/down and too big might not do its job.

roll down

When I tried on it first time, the fit was great. However, I noticed it did roll down. I decided to return.
