The bold mission of SPANX: to make the world a better place, one butt at a time. For founder Sara Blakely, it all started in 2000 with a bad case of VPL: visible panty lines. She cut the feet off her control-top pantyhose, and a shapewear empire was born. Today these undergarments are wardrobe staples for women and men who trust SPANX to slim their silhouettes and boost their confidence.
These are so cute and also super comfortable, I can wear them all day and even lounge around in them. I also love that they have back pockets. I'm 5"4 and ordered a size Small and Medium. I ended up returning the Medium as the small fit fine. I weigh around 130 and typically wear a size 4-6 pants, have slender thighs however. Hope this helps, I'd definitely recommend these.

Oh, heck no
These pants come with a label attached that says the color will bleed on other clothes and furniture before AND after the initial washing. WHAT? No way. Returned.

Best legging ever!!!
These leggings are a MUST have for all, any age or size. The fabric is a soft brushed cotton, obviously with stretch. The hold their shape all day. The waist is high, but not too high, so it supports the tummy perfectly. Great for casual work day with tunic, or pair with a cute flannel for a cozy fall day. Could even be dressed up with a heel and dressy top. I did a significant amount of research, looking for the perfect legging. I don't like the shiny fabrics, save those leggings for the gym. These are fantastic and worth every penny. Machine wash, always a bonus! I bought them for myself, loved them immediately and then bought them for my daughter who also loves them. Size medium fit for 5 feet, 5 inches, athletic build, 138 lbs. Size large for 5 feet, 8 inches, 155 lbs. athletic build.

Most comfortable jegging ever
These are the most comfortable work appropriate pants EVER. They look like jeans with the comfort of leggings. Not at all see-through, but with enough stretch that I am not racing to change clothes the second I get home. The back pockets are actually functional. They dont hug the ankle in a weird, obviously legging way. I wear them with flats, heels, wedges, keds, the list goes on.
I have bought 4 pairs of the black, and 1 of the blue. They are my go-to "jeans" and the black are a daily staple for work. I will say the first two pairs of black that I bought each developed small holes in the thigh area, but it took a while and I was willing to buy more.
I thought Spanx pants would have a bit more support in the tummy area and these dont really seem to have much in the way of shapeware, but I still love them.
I usually wear a medium legging, or jeans sizes 10-12 and I wear a large in these.

Almost perfect.
Easy to wear. My only complaint with SPANX Jean and jeanish items are the waistband...they are spanx so I think it needs to go higher up because you can still get that cut muffin top look you might with regular jeans. The faux leather legging waistband is perfect for keeping it all sucked in.

Still on the fence
Wanted to love these, still deciding whether or not to return and still has the tags on (one of the many reasons I shop at Nordstrom’s is their fantastic return policy) I was wanting more of the tradtional spanx hold and shape for the price I paid. You can get a pair like these any where for a fraction of the cost. They do fit well and I like the texture of the pants so you don’t see every lump and numb. So for the price it needs to do more spanx like controlling

Everyone needs these leggings!!
These leggings are amazing! Super comfortable and look like jeans. I wear them to work and swear by them! I am 5'11 and they sit perfectly at my ankles,. and come up high enough in the front and in the back (big fan of high rise jeans). They come up higher in the front to flatten the stomach...can't go wrong with these spanx!!

awful
These run small. There is this weird polyester panel on the inside that isn't sewn on the bottom. The waist rolls down when you bend over. Horribly uncomfortable. Maybe they get better with wear but I couldn't wait to get them off after trying on.

Sent back - not for muscular or athletic legs
I wanted to like these so badly, but I had to send them back because I couldn't even get them on! I ordered a size Large in these (which is what I wear in Spanx Ponte and Look at Me Now leggings), but these were wayyyyyy too small. I typically wear a size 8 or 10 in jeans and have muscular thighs, and these leggings couldn't deal with that. So disappointing because I wanted these to work out so badly, but these pants just aren't for people with strong or larger thighs. If you've got slender legs these would probably fit just fine.

Post Baby Miracle Leggings
I didn’t wear jeans for an embarrassingly long time after having my baby. A c-section just made it impossible to bounce back to my previous jean size. So I wore pregnancy leggings, then regular leggings. But I missed jeans, and the feeling that my pants had structure and gave me some shape, especially around my waist. I cannot stand the muffin top feeling or look, and mom jeans are not in my generational comfort zone.
So, I youtubed best jean leggings with stretch or slimming jean leggings, and Spanx were number one on the stylist’s list.
I am 5 2 and *sigh* 150 pounds here in pandemic times. The medium is great on my legs. I dont carry my weight there, and being petite, the length is not cropped but normal, and just right for full length. But, the waistband is quite squeezy around my waist. It was hard to sit for the first few wears, but they seem to be stretching. I ordered larges, wondering if it was a mistake since I plan to lose weight, but, I prefer to dress the body I have and sit comfortably until I can get a fitness routine back. I am waiting for the larges and thinking they can be for total comfort, even while sitting to work (I wouldn’t do that with the mediums right now).
I was 125 before baby and I love to workout, but baby life is crazy. And Im not waiting anymore to feel good in clothes! So, bottom line is that I wish I started wearing these at 6 months after birth. The belly bands and all that were painful and I didnt want my waist squeezed or restricted while recovering. A lot of people swear by that stuff, but my body was too sensitive after surgery. That said, I really didnt like still looking pregnant. Loose shirts help, but I was ready for actual belly support.
I highly recommend these for that. And don’t feel bad about needing a bigger size that you are used to. Ive never bought large size pants. But, the quality of the fabric and the length that I dont need to have altered are major pluses.
I would buy these even if I was in shape and just wanted some great looking leggings.
But, these are the post baby jeans everyone needs!
It feels great to wear jeans again!

Not a Fan
In pants I usually wear a size 6 or 8. I ordered a jegging and black pair in the medium. The jegging pair was very small/tight to the point I could hardly get them on. The black pair fit much better. I did not like the pocket placement or where they hit at the waist. I will be returning both pair.

Not for me
These didn’t do it for me. There wasn’t a thick upper waist band so my belly kind of bulged out. The material was kind of fuzzy too. Your better off with a good pair of high waisted jeans
