Review: Definitely worth it! - 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.
Review: Worth it!! Really helps under fitted garments! - Well I ordered this for an upcoming event to help smooth out my dress which was slightly clingy. I ordered a Small as I’m 5’ 3” and fluctuate between 99 & 102 lbs & usually wear a 0 or 2. So I was surprised when I couldn’t get them past my knees!! Haha! But after a few committed minutes, they did finally pull up & settled above my waist—Wow!! Immediately Slimming & Figure enhancing! And they were actually quite comfortable once I got them on fully. They really did make a good difference in how my dress looked on & also tried a few other dresses on to compare. Just lovely & completely hidden under even the most fitted dresses! I did not experience any “roll down” from top—but had the top band placed under my bra band. Not something I’d wear daily, but excellent for special events & dresses. Size up if you’re unsure as it does take a moment to get them on ;). Worth the extra cost!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have an opening at the bottom?**
A: there is an opening. But its too small and folded over. so you would have to hold the fabric to the side and hope you still don't get it wet. It is easy to pull up and down, not like a compression garment.

**Q: If I have thick thighs, will it be too tight on my legs?  I plan on ordering a size up**
A: Order true to size. Otherwise, they will roll

**Q: Is the size small a plus size, or regular size?  The size chart is confusing.  I need a regular size small, not plus.**
A: Size small is regular small

**Q: Does the top part stay in place?**
A: It stays up.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not worth the cost
*by M***N on April 25, 2022*

I have used other shapewear in the past, but this was my first Spanx purchase & I had high hopes. I liked the fabric. It is smoother & softer than most other shapewear. The waist band also stayed up where it was supposed to without adjustment. It's tight to get into at first, but once in place, it was very comfortable. My one complaint, and it's no small complaint since this was a major reason for buying shorts, is that the legs rolled up constantly. Unless I was standing still, the legs needed to be adjusting. Sitting, walking, dancing, climbing stairs all lead to uncomfortable & unflattering rolling.
