SPANXsculpt OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short - Powerful Sculpting Shapwear for Women - Level 4 Compression

I purchased these in two sizes, small and medium, in addition to S and M of a different style, in hopes that one would work for me. Overall, these are a great product that holds in what you need them to, once you are finally able to squeeze them over your hips and up your sausage link legs. It was ROUGH getting them on the first time; it took me about ten minutes (including doing a bridge on the floor and squeezing the top part over my hips). I am 5'4 and 145 lbs, thought I would be just fine in the medium. At first I thought I wasn't going to get them on but I was really committed to the cause! Once they were on, they were fantastic, surprisingly comfortable, legs didn't roll up and top didn't roll down. There is a specially made hole in the crotch for bathroom purposes, I tried it but found it to be potentially dangerous/messy. Final opinion- Great product, glad I got it! Just be ready for the fight to put them on.

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.

Worst shape wear I've ever bought. Advertises that it doesn't roll. It 100,% does roll. Badly. I couldn't get it to stay up even shoved under my bra. For the brand and how much this cost, I'm honestly disgusted at Spanx. Absolutely horrible quality all around. How disappointing I followed their suggestions about sizing and everything.

It held things in place REALLY well, but there was no structure, tacky lining, or anything at the top of the garment to keep it in place. Any movement caused it to start rolling over until it was all the way down to my natural waist. Just not wearable in that condition so I had to return it.

I am post-op and looking for compression shapewear to help with the healing (help push swelling and assist with drainage) that I could wear all day long and sleep in. I originally bought 2 different Faja’s (look for my reviews on those). They worked but the fabric wasn’t soft. This caused me to look at Spanx. I have now bought two different Spanx. Here is my review on this one (which I am wearing right now): Pros: Great compression (like a faja), comfortable fabric against the skin, it is tight and I had to work to get into it…and it did not rip, so far I have not had any issues with the top rolling down or the legs rolling up, the look is smooth and you can’t tell I have it on under my clothes, I definitely feel supported Cons: I had to work hard to get into it (this is the same size as my other Spanx, which I don’t have this issue with) - I am sure it is because of the compression level of this one. The gusset (to go to the bathroom) is not large enough to even go #1 without the fabric getting wet. At the top (upper chest) it is extremely tight. I could wear it for a while, but I don’t know about all day or to sleep in (which is what I am looking for post-op). Spanx has another level of compression up from this “Supersculpt”…knowing the compression on this one…I am afraid of that one. The support on this one is just what the Dr ordered (literally).

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!!

They’re hard to put on but very sliming once they’re on…boy do they make a difference! I’m buying another one!

I am disappointed. I have used Spanx sculpting shapewear for years and this is the first time I am returning a product. This product does not work as well at the SPANX ASSETS High-Waist Mid-Thigh Short - Seamless Shapewear - Ultra-Firm Compression - Thigh & Tummy Control shaper. Two stars for smoothing out most areas. However, it does not smooth out back rolls. As a matter of fact it emphasizes them. Returning and exchange for another old faithful.

La gaine comprimé bien, au début on a l’impression que ça ne va jamais rentrer mais au final ça va. Prenez une taille en dessous sinon ça gaine moins.

I wanted to love this, but it comes up way too high and rolls over. Sadly, will have to return. I'm 5'6" but have a short torso.

Exactly what it describes it to be.

Prodotto di ottima fattura, rifinito nei dettagli. Io, avendo una taglia 44, ho preso la large come suggerito. Pensavo però fosse un pò più costringente. Invece è abbastanza comodo. Forse avrei dovuto prendere la taglia più piccola.... Comunque sono soddisfatta dell'acquisto ho apprezzato molto il "rinforzo" sull'addome.

Love these as I had an old pair that lasted years before the crotch wore out. I wear them once or twice a week and these ones ripped in less than 3 months For the price it's inexcusable! Too late to return here but I will contact Spanx directly!
