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.

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 bought this for post-op compression and wore it once for a couple hours, for that I do not recommend it, as there are (4) 1” pieces of flex-boning at the very top to keep the garment from rolling down, just beneath the elastic that d/t my surgery made it impossible to wear. So why the 4 stars? Well, because when worn as intended, this is superior to every other shapewear garment I have ever tried. Its composition of fabrics makes on/off glide over skin easily without having to break a sweat. I suggest rolling the top, skid up over bum/hips and adjust for comfort at thighs. It holds everything in, feels comfortable. No split in crotch for bathroom which, given high waist might make gowns/garment difficult to get on/off for some. That’s the only reason for -1 star and I’d still chose this over any other body shaper. Can’t tell you how many times my nails have poked through the other brands. That’s not happening w/this one. Might be a tad warm for some.

I bought these more for smoothness under dresses versus shaping. I bought a small and it’s not tight enough to be shape wear for me. 5’4” 125 pounds, size 2-4. I just wanted to be able to wear dresses without seeing vpl. This is now my holy grail for under dresses. They are comfortable for me but might be less confortable if they were tighter/providing any shape.

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. 🤷‍♀️

The quality is good, the fit is good but if you are looking for something to pull in your bulges I wouldn’t recommend. That’s not what I was looking for so I don’t have any complaints

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!)

Only wore these twice. I bought them a little bigger cause I don’t like how tight some brands are and how they roll up my legs. I washed them when I got them, wore them for about 5 hours, put them in the wash, the 2nd time wearing them I noticed they had a hole in the seem of the butt area and had a big run in the back leading to the hole! WTH??? I was loving these until I discovered the run and hole! I mean it won’t be so bad if I had them more than 6 months but I have ONLY had them for less than a month! I will say they are wayyy more comfortable than other brands for-sure!

تلم الجسم ولكن لا تشده اذا تبون مريح خذو اكبر من مقاسكم

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.
