SPANX womens Shapewear for Women Oncore High-waisted Mid-thigh Short

Great product just know to order up in size. It runs very, very small.

My main concern was the top rolling down and I even chatted with someone on the Spanx website who said that if you are in between sizes then sizing up will help prevent rolling. Even though I am losing weight, I went ahead and got the larger size. Trying it on and walking around my house I was disappointed at first because it immediately started rolling down. Loved it everywhere else so I decided to wear to work the next day with the straps to hold the top in place (pro tip: don’t try to figure out the straps when you are already running late! Took me a good five minutes searching for the second strap I swear I just had before I realized they were hooked together). Not sure if it just needed a stretching from the initial try on or if the straps did anything, but I had almost no rolling of the band wearing these for over 10 hours! I didn’t have that tummy sauna/sausage casing feeling like with cheaper brands. I am a little wary of using the opening - I got the nude color and they are almost see-through. One thing that is nice about the shorts style shapewear is that your rear end is covered in a dress - it looks like they mean for you to wear these without underwear but with the transparency and the big hole, I felt it was too risky.I was hesitant to buy these because of the expense, but then I realized that I had 3 $20 ones to return that just didn’t work for me despite rave reviews. I learned a lesson in buying quality here.I think the style is good for those with long torsos - they went all the way up without any issue and I’m normally fighting the highwaisted styles to get them in place. For reference, I’m 5’9” 180lbs size 12/14, pear shaped and I bought large.

Try to imagine me trying to put these on. I get one leg in and realize I may have bitten off more than I can chew, here! Put next leg in and prepare to pull them up over my hips and realize that I CAN'T! I was so bummed. I've wanted Spanx for a long time, now I have them and they're too small. Darn! I pull them off and toss into a corner of my room, defeated. So I stare at them, crumpled on the floor as they mock me. No, I'm not going down like that. I get up to try again, whispering to these shorts that I'm gonna win! I get them on up as far as my hips and began to pull with all my might (what if I tear them!!) Stretch, pull, sweat, swear, GOT IT! They are above my poor, injured bruised hips now! But I won, so there! I got them situated around my core now, those errant (extra skin) rolls are nowhere to be seen! The tummy that housed 2 babies and lots of pizza and twinkies seems to have disappeared! Magic, I tell ya.I yanked on them pretty hard to pull them up and into place and they handled it. No tearing, no terrifying sound of a popped stitch. I love how my rolls and skin is all tucked in and smoothed out! I don't feel hot and constricted at all. There is a little trap door in the crotch for using the restroom, but I haven't been brave enough to try that.My only gripe with these is that they do roll up on the legs. I have to reposition the leg parts throughout the time I'm wearing it. But no rolling at the waist.So glad I got these and now looking forward to being able to order a Spanx tank top!

This was easier to put on than I expected based on some of the very funny reviews. I didn't have to leap tall buildings to get it on so maybe I should have ordered a size small. But I am 5'0" at 150 lbs. so medium should have been appropriate. Not only did this do little for tummy control, it rolled at the back and no amount of tugging or straightening would flatten it out. Granted, I don't need much tummy control, I just wanted more smoothing than anything. My $10 Costco leggings work the same or better in my case. Unfortunately, I can't wear those under a semi-formal dress. Very expensive for little to no benefit. Will be returning.

I bought one to wear to a wedding six years ago, and it still looks like new!

I bought the same ones from Macy’s many many years ago and they were amazing. These are not the same. DO NOT BUY. The material on top feels like plastic and is not stretchy. Size and fit was way off too.

This is my second pair of Spanx. To be noted my first pair of Spanx I purchased almost 10 years ago and they were so hard to get on that I felt like an overstuffed sausage. These however are drastically improved. Even though they offer the compression, it doesn't feel like I'm being rung out like your grandma's laundry. The fabric is much smoother, glides over the skin ( please for the love of God make sure your skin is dry before you try this) and even has an interesting feature that's supposed to add more shape to your butt. From what I can tell, it may just make it look a little smoother from the lower back rolls to the start of the cheeks. But if you're like me and you got more in the midsection to love these will work. They allowed me to wear a not super tight bodycon dress to a Broadway show and I didn't looks like the Michelin Man underneath. Picture proof above, please ignore the messy hotel room that was my daughter's side.
