Maidenform Women's Shapewear Underwear, High-Waisted Body Shaper Shorts, Shapewear Tummy Control Boyshort

I ordered according to the chart and it fit perfectly. I wear a 0 in Torrid tops and a 1 in Torrid bottoms. That makes me a generous 14 on the bottom. So according to that, I bought the L instead of the XL. Seems perfect. I am currently more plump and squishier than I'd like to be, and I hate shapewear that is too tight or cutting on my fleshy upper thighs around the crotch area. That's why I got this boy short version.Yes, it looks alarmingly TINY when you take it out of the bag, but don't despair. And yes, for the unpracticed and/or rusty (me) it IS a little tricky at first to get into, but it is by NO means as difficult as other shapewear I have tried. I will be honest. My first thought as I was trying it on was, "Ok, I probably don't want to get too tipsy at the Halloween party," with visions of me rolling around on the floor of the ladies room wrestling with this thing. But that's more about MY lack of coordination than the minimizer.Once I was triumphantly in it (which truly did not take long) I really, really, really liked how soft and comfortable it is. For anyone complaining it's not as hardcore as Spanx, it's probably not. It's only a 2 out of 3 firmness by its own chart. It's a minimizer, not a magician! Personally, I don't think it's going to take any dress sizes off me, but it IS going to smooth out the bumps and bulges, making what I wear look much nicer and more polished WITHOUT being uncomfortable. In fact, wearing it is actually going to make me feel more comfortable. That's all I ask.If the thing explodes or malfunctions or self-destructs in any other way, I will update my review, and wisely use the "free returns" option that came with the purchase.

TL;DR: I definitely recommend this shapewear!!I recently gained 15 pounds due to my birth control and have been trying to lose it (unfortunately stopping the birth control did not help). I have lost 9 pounds so far but I still wanted a little control under my clothing so that it did not seem that noticeable while I try to shed the last 6 pounds. I considered purchasing Spanx but decided to purchase these beforehand due to the affordable price. I am not disappointed!This product smooths everything down and the bottom legs do not ride up. I'm even considering purchasing one with longer legs for thigh control! My only annoyance is that the top part rolls down slightly by itself. It has a "rubber" part on it to stick to your skin in order to prevent this, but it doesn't always work. I can deal with this because of the control it provides, but be aware of that. I have a bigger booty and hips and I was worried that the bottoms would roll up when I sat down and such, but this was not an issue for me.I wear a Medium in everything (tops, bottoms, bras, underwear, etc.) so I decided to purchase the Medium, but the size chart instructed that I should purchase a small due to me being a size 6. As I waited for it to arrive, I was nervous that I should have ordered a Small but after it arrived I was very happy with my size purchase. When I took it out of the bag I was not sure it would even fit. It LOOKED like a small, but it doesn't fit like a small. This product fits perfectly. It's not too tight but it still smooths my tummy and buttocks. It's also very light and breathable. I would purchase whatever size you normally wear and do not go by the size chart (but this may just be my experience).I definitely recommend this for the price, quality, and fast shipping. (Although the first one I purchased was lost in the mail due to the carrier losing my package. Amazon quickly corrected the error and sent me another with my prime account for no charge).

Great body shaper, support and comfort! I've been trying to find one like this for a very long time. It fits like I'd hoped. 5 ***** for sure!

True to inch measurements, darn it.I don’t know why they use dress size as a guide - pant size would make more sense.I bought it for liposuction recovery.Like any shapewear, it’s tough to get on and off, but I’ve tried worse. The hip and torso section did the job yet was very comfortable and stayed up without pulling my skin. (Note: I’m pear-shaped.) The short legs, though, rolled up. The rolled legs weren’t terribly uncomfortable, a little binding, but I would have preferred a longer leg because I think that’d be less likely to roll up. I have a long torso, so maybe getting the top band high enough caused the leg rolling, though I did try tugging it down at the hips.It got me through recovery.Had I bought this for normal shapewear reasons, I wouldn’t have been happy about the seams across the butt. If I’m seeking a smoother silhouette, I don’t want seams there.The fabric felt nice, not cheap. Lingerie tends to stick to my hands but this didn’t, or didn’t do it enough for me to notice.
