SPANXSPANXsculpt Seamless Power High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short - Lightweight, All-Day Comfort - Core Control Shapewear

I have a few different pairs of Spanx. I like their brand a lot, but this pair that I ordered was very uncomfortable. I ordered an XL and it was just so tight! For reference, I am 5'5 and weigh 175lbs. On average, I wear sizes Medium and Large. I ordered an XL because I wanted a looser, more comfortable fit. I have a Large Spanx panty in black that is so soft and stretchy and comfortable. But this pair I ordered in XL was not comfortable for me at all. It felt so tight and restrictive. I returned it, and will stick to my older pair. Also, just as a heads up, if you're ever looking for another brand of shapewear, the Yitty brand by Lizzo is really high quality. I love that their bands have a nice material that holds it in place so it does not roll down. My Spanx tend to roll more than my Yitty, and the material they use for the sticky-like band to keep it in place wears out so quickly. I basically just use my bra to hold their shapewear in place, because the sticky-like band meant to keep it from rolling down is worn out almost entirely. But Yitty also feels very tight, so just... size up, or be prepared to exchange until you find the correct sizing for your body type and comfort preferences. These products are stretchy, and they are supposed to, "hold everything in," but you should still be able to breathe and move comfortably, so make sure you are sizing correctly to your body type!

I really liked how thin and light they felt. The only thing I did not like was how after a couple hours of use the spank‘s rolled down and I felt I was being squished in my stomach area.

I bought an XL and it took some work to get it on. It was so tight that I could barely breathe let alone wear it to an event for 3 hours. I would size up. I bet it works great when it fits. I returned mine.

I like this product to wear under my formal wear/dresses. It is stretchy and fairly comfortable. My only issue is the quality. This is my second time purchasing because the first one I had ripped while I was wearing it. It seems that it starts to wear out after so many uses and times being washed. Though, I haven’t found one I’ve liked any better.

It ripped while I was trying to put it on . And it rolls down . I couldn't even wear it.

I love Spanx! My favorite shape wear, they never let me down. These are flattering and comfortable! Thanks so much Spanx!

Tried the lighter weight ones but the top band rolls down to your mid back cutting in. So I tried these since they say that they "grip". They don't. They roll too. Who can wear these? It's a great idea to hide your mid belly, but if it rolls down, not only do you bulge from the top, but your back gets cut into.

Comfortable fit!
