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

X small/small 116 lbs. 5’2. Fits great! Stays in place and does not roll down ,very comfortable and I love the support! Great price! Perfect amount of compression.

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.

The shorts are comfortable and match my skin well. They do show thru clothes meaning you can see the line of the shorts on my thigh in dresses or pants I wear over them. They don't roll up or down, which is good. They don't shrink your waist. They moreso give you a smoother silhouette, keep thighs from chafing. Stretchy and comfortable, not constricting.

AMAZING! I'm a big girl, 350lb, 5'10", so I had some super reservations if this shape wear was going to work, or if I won't be able to cram into the max size 4x, or worse if it rolls down while I'm in a dress. The material is amazing, not hot, flexible, on the thinner side of shape wear thickness - but does the job beautifully! I had a dress which was little snug, and after putting on shape wear it was loose and I looked so much slimmer. FIT: perfect, don't size up or down. It will squeeze you in gently (not tight like Spanx) but it gets the job done! Color: Meh - it was a lot lighter than the pic for "sand". I almost thought I was sent wrong color, but label stated Sand. It was almost like albino very light skin. I wore with 2ply black dress and you couldn't see it through, but was worried you could see leg part when moving in shorter dress. Wish it was darker. Now the bathroom situation. I swear I restricted fluids and had PTSD from past shape wear when it came to sausaging back into the shape wear in a small bathroom at restaurant. However, this was a quick pull up, stuck to skin very well (but no welts where the plastic on band touches). Never rolled down! Stood in place exactly as when put on, for a wild night of dancing. This in itself was a miracle. Overall highly recommend for plus size ladies. Not hot, perfect fit, easier to get into than other brands, thinner material for breathability. LOVE IT!

Lots of the reviews described the product being too big when ordering the size according to the chart. The shorts fit, but they didn't really provide the support expected. On the advice of a few, I purchased a size xs/s instead of m/l like I normally do. When I looked at the shorts, I thought there was no way that I was going to be able to fit my skinny-squishy 165lb body in those itty-bitty things. But I did. And without much effort at all. They're tight, but they're not snatching my waist like they're supposed to. Everything is smoothed out. No bulges. And I can breathe, but it didn't shape my stomach. My stomach is still pooching out like it did before. There's just smooth flub-blub now instead of multiple flub-blubs and no muffin top (which is nice). I sat down on the bed to see if it was possible to still breathe (it was) and I looked at the package. On the back of the package it says "Plus-size black small" and it now makes sense why I am able to wear it. I'm 5'11. 165lbs. All of my weight is in my stomach, hips, and thighs. I wear a size 10-12 in jeans. Plus-sized clothing is made specifically to accommodate a body type that is beautifully voluptuous. Plus-sized clothing is labeled "16W" or "16 curvy" fur example. The W or curvy indicating that it will fit a fuller figured individual. I know there's not a small in plus-size, but I think I've figured it out nonetheless: I have a friend that wears a size 14 curvy which is another way to tell the shopper that this product is constructed differently from a size 14 regular. The curvy or the W are constructed in a way that allows a fuller figure to settle comfortably unlike the regular that would be far too tight and constricting in the waiste, knees, and calves. Anyway... I checked on Amazon and found a plus-size Shapermint, high waisted shaper shorts that can be purchased in size S-3xl. These shorts are made like the curvy or W to accommodate curves that a woman who wore a regular small would not have. I believe the seller may have accidentally shipped a plus-sized garment when the purchaser wanted a regular rather than plus. And I think that this is why some buyers are talking about sizing down while others are describing being swallowed by a boa constrictor and not being able to breathe, or move, or sit. Maybe if I had a regular small then I'd be complaining about that, too because, trust me, I may be skinny-squishy but I haven't been able to fit into a small anything since 9th grade. And that was 32 years ago. 🤷‍♀️

First off, I really appreciate that these shapers come in my skintone--so much better than having to choose between nude (which ISN'T) and black. Second, these are probably the most comfortable shaper shorts I've ever had, and I probably could've sized down! (I got the XL-2XL) I'm 5'0 and most shapers absolutely roll and by the end of the day it feels like I've gotten the circulation to my kidneys cut off. These are staying put. I think the thighs could use a silicone strip so they stay a little better, but I think that's my only complaint. I'll definitely be buying more from this company!

This product is wonderful. When I removed the item from the packaging I thought how long will it take me a while to get this on. It was very easy and extremely comfortable. It’s all the way to my bra and with the rubber in the band helps it stay up well. I need it to go under a dress that I’m wearing to a wedding and it made me feel a little more self-conscious.

This garment is very comfortable, the most comfortable tummy controller I've worn. I wore it for 8hrs to an event and as light and comfortable as it is, I was surprised by how well it controls the tummy, hips area. It's high waisted and DID NOT fold down, but stayed in place, above the midriff. I simply have it a 4-star rating bc it kept riding up on the thighs. It wasn't a problem with the thighs riding up, as I was wearing a skirt (with a form fitting dress/skirt, it may be an issue), it also wasn't uncomfortable, just a bit annoying. I really do like this garment for control, comfort, and it felt very light/breathable even in the heat of summer. It fits true to size, I ordered XL, the same size as my leggings.
