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.
Wanted to help bump up the ratings a little, thought these were pretty flattering! Buying it in another color. They smooth out the abs. I do agree that these are probably more flattering if you’re bottom heavy rather than top as the waist isn’t very giving.

Bad fit, returning
Worst fitting shorts ever! Don’t buy if you are curvy. Might work well on someone with stick legs, a flat butt and a stomach that needs to be sucked in!

Can dress up or down
I got a size 10 in white early spring. My waist is 33 and hips 43. I'm 5'4 and weigh 148. Hourglass shape, or curvy. They for beautifully. I've lost about 5 lbs and I tried them on the other day and the waist is gaping slightly. I'm very happy these are on sale so I can get another pair. The material is high quality and hold shape. The legs are wider and not restricting. The waist is very high as stated, which seems to be on trend right now. If you have a crop top it would pair nicely. The white is thick to not be see through.

Not a great fitting short once you start moving
I bought 3 colors (pink, white, and tan). I tried them on, and loved them. I was thinking about buying all of the colors for summer 2026. Then I wore a pair for the day. The fit runs on the smaller side, so I would definitely size up. Usually a 4, I bought the medium. When I wore the shorts they started to ride up around my waist. I was constantly pulling the shorts down. It was so annoying. I still have tags on the other two so I probably will return those. I could not have worn a smaller size as the waist would not have fit well. I bought them on sale and really loved the look. I may end up keeping the white shorts and live with the annoying fit because it is hard to find white shorts that are not see thru. The tan ones are definitely going back. The shorts do wash well. I am just disappointed with the fit once you start moving. Quality is excellent.
