SHAPERMINT Shapewear for Women - High-Waisted Shapewear Tummy Control Shorts, Thigh Slimmer, Underwear for Women

I wanted to post an initial review in case anyone like me has events this weekend and is considering buying this. TL; Dr: these shaper shorts are great if you're looking for light compression/support and some smoothing. As a tall plus size woman (5'11", 310lbs, 50-46-56, usually wear a 3x/4x), this item suits my needs to look a bit smoother under clingy dresses, prevent thigh chafing, and provide some abdominal compression for POTS symptoms relief. I have my highschool reunion this weekend and will be wearing a bodycon dress, so I wanted some shaper shorts that would smooth me out a bit without being uncomfortable. The mixed reviews on this item scared me a bit, but so far I'm glad I took a chance. I've been wearing them to work the past couple of days to test them out in case I needed to switch sizes or to another brand. These shaper shorts are surprisingly comfortable for having a decent amount of light-modedate compression. While I'm tall, I'm also quite short-waisted with a long hip/pelvis, and carry most of my weight in my stomach, butt, and upper thighs. The waistband comes all the way up to my bra line, but so far has not rolled down thanks to the fabric quality and small stays strategically placed. The legs are also a great length to not roll on my thick thighs - I'm easily able to adjust them higher or lower depending on the length of my skirt. The fabric is fairly breathable and soft, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Other than the very top of the waistband, I can't feel them on after a bit. I'm glad I went with the 4x instead of the 3x. My measurements were on the low end of the 4x, and I decided to opt for comfort over stronger compression. The shorts are quite stretchy, and I imagine someone several inches bigger than me could comfortably wear them. The shorts washed fine in a laundry bag on delicate cycle and didn't shrink too much. I can't speak to their long-term durability and performance, but I will update this review after my events with pictures and final thoughts. Overall, I definitely can recommend these to others looking for similar qualities in shaper shorts. I hope this review helps other tall plus size women as I know how hard it is to find comfortable, flattering clothing for us.

Comfortable and decently easy to get on but it doesn’t have lots of compression. I have lots of loose skin across my tummy area and even though it doesn’t sway or jiggle much with this, it still might be a bit more compressed so all the lumps and waves don’t show as much. Of course if you just want modest compression this is perfect for you. If you’ve got lots of stuff that wiggles, jiggles, or waves, perhaps go with something a bit more heavy. It’s great if you have lumps you don’t want squeezed so much you get nauseous or if you want something that you can wear all day! It’s also ok to wear in summer if you don’t have boiling temperatures and high humidity. Or if you’re inside most of the time. I live in a very hot and very humid area and it’s kind of hot…but then anything not linen or very light cotton is miserable. I can wear this if I streak to the car and then office quickly. I tried to wear it to an early church service outside and kind of melted but if there was a breeze even I would have been fine! It covers all you’d need if you’re apple or pear shaped. I’m really tall and it covered high waist to below mid thigh. Overall I’d recommend it to most folks looking for modest compression and who may not be quite as lumpy as I am. It’s definitely going to be part of my wardrobe! (But there are a few dresses I’m going to have to go to Helga the Corset maker for, the ones with industrial strength spandex and steel boing to keep the wobbly, wavy bits from showing!)

Fits well and the fabric is both strong and soft. Does not work quite as dramatically as the videos promise, but does smooth the lumps and reduce the bulk a little. I am 5'1" at 165 lbs, so there is considerable bulk to handle. Being old means the flesh is a whole lot less firm than a young person's.

I bought this to wear under my dress for a wedding. It’s easy to put on and stays in place. It’s smoothing without being confined. The material is soft and washed great. I’m extremely happy with this product and I’ve recommended it a dozen times.

I was buying this Shapermint specifically to wear under dresses to church. 5'7" 165# I purchased M/L ...I was on the outside edge of the Shapermint size chart (not Amazon size chart - based on reviews I read that the Amazon chart did not match Shapermint size chart.) I initially tried on and decided to return. I did; however, give it another try with the actual dresses. At no time did I see enough change in my shape ...or the dresses fit ...to think that being squeezed into the shapewear was beneficial. The dresses that I'm wearing are Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPQS6RY1?ref=fed_asin_title ...and I do highly recommend this dress. The waistline is already forgiving. The dresses are inexpensive, relatively speaking. I've washed once and worn once. They're not life-long Lands End sundresses ...I think (so far) a good value. Returning the shapewear.

I purchased this because my surgeon recommended it. I must say I could not be more pleased with the results. I had a panniculectomy and she had me purchase this before my surgery. rating the amount of struggle to put it on. From 1 to 5 with 5 being the hardest. I give it a 3. For support to my mid section with 1 being the worst support. I give this product a 7 ( 2 more than a 5). It firmly supported me, but is so darn comfortable. MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!! there is no rising. Great JOB

I haven’t really worn shapewear before and bought this to wear under a very tight dress. It really smooths out my belly and hips and is so comfortable and stays in place. As someone who’s pretty new to these products, I am very pleased. It doesn’t feel too restrictive but it definitely makes a difference. Again, I’ve had no issue with it falling down or riding up — and I usually struggle with that with other clothing.

Good control. Fits a little higher than expected. It is machine washable which is a plus.

Das Produkt ist nicht von Shapermint wie es beschrieben ist. Es ist ein ganz anderes Shapewear.

good product as per site

After reading some of the reviews from a couple of years back, I was hesitant to order these... even though I've been wanting a pair of them for quite some time. But the more recent positive reviews made me think the product had improved. And given the details they included, along with photos, they seemed quite legit to me. So I went ahead and ordered them—taking into consideration the strong recommendation to buy a size smaller—and am so happy I did. They arrived several hours ago (I ordered them last night), and I've only just had time to try them on now. I started this review about half an hour ago and have been pulled away several times, so now I can say in confidence that they were not only comfortable when I first put them on, but after sitting and standing multiple times, they are still comfortable AND neither the top rolled down nor did the bottoms roll up. I can't tell you how happy this makes me as this has been an issue in the past shortly after putting on other brands of clothing from girdles to thigh-highs. I have sensitive skin, including eczema, and usually if something is going to bother me, it happens almost immediately... at least within the first half hour. So far, no itchiness or other discomfort. I'd like to share photos, but silly me forgot to take a before pic... so I'll try to add them later. Suffice it to say, these have helped me achieve the desired goal of holding in my lower belly. I'm in my early 60's and had lost 70 lbs pre-covid then gained 100 of it back post-covid. I'm working my way back down and am currently somewhere just under 260 lbs (I have to wait for weigh-in Wednesday for the next accurate weight). As I age and lose weight, the elasticity of my belly is taking longer to kick into place and the extra skin kinda folds down, so this was my #1 reason for wanting these shaper shorts. I'm 5'4" and have thicker legs from having been somewhat athletic in my younger years (sports, used to teach dance, avid walker, etc.) and a short midriff, with a pronounced S-curve in my spine. I also suffer from back pain from a vehicle accident some years back. Suffice it to say, clothing tends to fit me rather awkwardly. But so far, these Shapermint Shaper Shorts (love the alliteration) are feeling very comfortable and snug, as if they were made for me. I should also mention that I had to have hubby help me put these on for the very first time; but I think I'll be fine to put them on solo from here. I sure hope so, because frequent bathroom breaks are my life these days. Also, I checked these shorts thoroughly when I opened the package, and had my husband do the same, just in case I missed something. They are flawless, great design and good quality. The price was never a deterrent (even though I live on a fixed income), because I adhere to the old adage, "You get what you pay for"—and these shorts were worth every penny. I guess how long they last will depend on how often I wear them, but at this point, I think I'll be ordering another pair. These are black, I think I'll go for the beige ones next. These might not work for everyone, but they worked for me... and I seriously do *not* have the best of luck when it comes to clothing. Just remember, if you're looking for a bit of support, order a size smaller. I'm currently a XXXXL but ordered XXXL. It's certainly not making me look any thinner, but that's not what I was going for... I just wanted a smoother appearance when I wear my beloved leggings out of the house. And now, I'm feeling a little more confident to consider wearing a snug fitting dress again. Cheers everyone. And Happy New Year! Mental Note: Don't forget to post pics later. :D PS. It's been an hour now and still comfortable!

When I took these out of the packet, I laughed, I thought there is no way I am going to get them on but thankfully I was wrong. Much easier to get on than I thought, I really like the softness of the legs that will not show that awful line on the thigh, lots of support where it's needed & comfortable to wear. I had these in my basket for ages as I really wasn't sure about them but I'm so glad I took a chance, I'll be buying more.
