Let’s talk about these high-waisted tummy control shorts—a product that promises to smooth, shape, and stay put. I tested them under dresses, jeans, and even during light workouts to see if they live up to the hype.

The Good: The fabric is surprisingly breathable (88% nylon/12% spandex) and feels lightweight against the skin. The silicone grips and boning *do* keep them from rolling down, which is a win compared to other shapers I’ve tried. They’re seamless, so no VPL under looser clothing like flowy dresses or work slacks.

The Not-So-Good: Under *tight* clothing? Disaster. As one reviewer noted, they became visibly lumpy under a bodycon dress—like a topographic map of my midsection. The “second skin” claim only holds true if your outfit has breathing room.

Best Use Case: Ideal for casual wear with jeans or A-line dresses where subtle smoothing is needed. Postpartum? Maybe. But for serious compression or tight outfits, you might want heavier-duty shapewear.

Final Verdict: A solid 7/10 for comfort and everyday wear, but don’t expect miracles under clingy fabrics.
