womens Firm Control High Waist Shapewear Brief Fl1854

I have bought several different brands of shapewear over the years, none of which I've worn more than once. I've never found a shapewear that could tuck my tummy in and not be tremendously uncomfortable. I just couldn't justify forking over big dollars for some of the other name brand pieces which might not work. So, after reading some of the reviews and scouring the internet for the best budget friendly shapeware, I decided I'd try the Maidenform Flexees. I'm quite certain if my husband had been watching me attempt to get into these briefs he would've ran crying - in laughter! I ordered a large because that's the size I normally wear (or a 12/14). I went to put them on and realized the name, Flexees, doesn't really do justice. Maybe brief/panty of steel would be better. I fought, wriggled, and wiggled until I finally had the garment pulled up and my post11-yr-old baby belly was finally the smoothest I'd seen in ages. I decided to try on my favorite jeans, which I had found to be fitting a little snug since the holiday, was actually loose. I'd say the Maidenform brief shrunk my gut by almost a dress size. That was pretty impressive in my opinion. The band of the briefs did no roll down as I found with other styles/brands. The legs were not too tight or uncomfortable. What I did not like was the sensation around my upper abdomen though. I don't like the feeling of anything pressing too tightly just below my rib cage. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to tolerate wearing the briefs for long because they felt so uncomfortable. The event came along, and I knew I'd be in these briefs for at least 6 hours, if not longer. I actually took an extra pair of panties along in my purse just in case I couldn't tolerate the shapewear. To my surprise, the longer I wore them, the better they felt; I ended up in them for about 8 hours. Taking them off was about as funny as putting them on - it took some effort - but donning them is definitely the hardest, however, it was worth the effort. I've worn these briefs several times now - I wash them in warm water and hang them to dry. If you've been searching for a budget-friendly shapewear which will not roll down, bind your legs, and keeps your belly tucked in, look no further! These are amazing - and I never thought I'd say that about an undergarment that looks like something I would've found in my grandmother's unmentionable drawer.

I am just under 5"5 and weigh 148-150. I ordered a Large based on the size chart (I'm a 12, sometimes 10), thinking there was a possibility it might be a little large but I figured I'd err on the side of comfort since I've had bad experiences with shape wear panties in the past. When it arrived it looked tiny and it was difficult to get on but it turns out the size is just right. These things are suuuper comfortable. I wore them all day on Easter...lots of sitting, lots of binging, and they didn't give me that suffocating feeling in my tummy (where most of my weight is) nor did they bind or pinch anywhere....and stayed up all day easily!! They didnt flatten my stomach quite as much as I hoped, perhaps, but I guess thats the price to pay for being able to breathe, haha...and my dress looked much better and my tummy sleeker. Great find.

I bought two- the latte & the black pair. I bought a size Large, as I have 41” hips, and 37” waist. It takes a minute to go over my hips and lower stomach, but once on it’s fine. I’m short waisted, so this goes nearly up to my bra. (I’m 5’2”). It’s not super tight around my thighs. It has the silicone around the waist band to keep it in place. The crotch is cotton, so you could wear this without underwear. Or, to keep from washing it too much, you can wear it over your underwear. I washed them in the washer and hung them up to dry. I had no issues, but you might just want to hand wash them. Very nice quality, and it’s definitely good at controlling your middle. Made zipping up my shorts easier. My middle looks smoother in clothes, too. I probably could have sized up, but Large isn’t too uncomfortable.

I'm giving this product 3 stars because it's alright. The material is nice, very stretchy, but I would still shimmy it on carefully so as not to tear any seams. I ordered a Large because my hip measurement at its fullest (mid butt) measures 41 inches. Maybe I should've ordered a size bigger than that but if I had I think the waist bit would've been far too loose and have absolutely no effect smoothing my stomach out (I measure 33 inches at my waist). I honestly thought I was going to break the garment trying to get it past my "thick" thighs but sure enough, it slid on, but not without pinching my butt cheeks and giving me horrible a VPL. Honestly, this garment is made for someone without any upper thigh fat and "some" butt. By no means do I consider myself "full figured" because I wear a size 11 pants (comfortably) and maybe a size 9 pants on good days and a Medium in nearly all tops, sometimes large in particular silhouettes. According to this size chart, I'm wearing a US size 14. Which if I did wear anything in that size, I'd be drowning in it. Shapewear sizes tend to run 1 to 2 sizes too small; think "petite Asian frame" when you look at these size charts. I'm a young 23 year old woman with a small chest, not much smaller waist, and apparently, an xtra large butt so it is so much harder to shop online versus in person at a store. Shapewear just might be one of those garments worth treading to the store to buy something that is sure to fit. So, 3 stars because the quality seems to be good and it is comfortable. 2 stars deducted because the size chart is a joke to everyone with a butt that sits low and thicker-than-sticks thighs. My advice? Just go ahead and start walking 4 miles a day and pump some squats out to tone up your butt and thighs because this item is by no means magic, nor does it claim to be. Any money you spend on shapewear is probably better spent on Beach Body's Brazil Butt Lift because THAT, paired with walking twice a day, actually makes a difference to your abs, butt, and legs. To this day, that workout program is the only one (out of like 6 I've bought into) that makes a difference within 30 days. Just saying.

Like the fit. Excellent!

This product is great and at a much nicer price point than spanx, which are extremely over priced if you ask me. These shapewear undies come with a rubbery strip on the inside of the waist opening in order to keep them up. They did not ride down for me at all when sitting. The support part of the shapewear is extremely firm...it’s not a corset, it won’t change the shape of your body, but it does tuck in the jiggly parts quite a bit! It smooths out your figure to create a clean silhouette. *gross truths about using the restroom in these* There is no hole in the groin to use the bathroom like spanx or other brand have, but if you don’t want to pull it down each time, the panty part of the shapewear that covers your parts can easily be pulled aside because it is very stretchy and comfortable. *gross part over* This shapewear isn’t terribly breathable, so you may get kinda sweaty in it if you wear it in warm weather. However, it’s thin enough that you can’t see it under clothing. Overall, a really nice product for the price, definitely recommended!

Bought this to wear under a dress and it worked perfect! Held in my bulges very well and didn’t roll down and wasn’t uncomfortable!

I have worn this brand of shapewear for quite a while. They always make a good product that stands up to daily wear. I think over the last few years they have made the sizing a bit smaller. When first putting this shapewear on it was a tight fit and a bit of a struggle to get it on. Once it was on, it fit just fine and was not tight. I had the beige color. I am sure the black will be a bit more of a struggle to get on and possibly tighter as that has been my experience in the past when purchasing the black shapewear. Once on the shapewear gives good support and stays in place without any waistband rolling.

Está cómodo, me ayudó contar con una faja no tan apretada e ideal para el postparto e incluso compre otra, la recomiendo ampliamente.

Makes you look great in clothes, what more could you want?

Not as firm as I wish, but comfortable
