Let me tell you, finding shapewear that actually works for curvy figures feels like hunting for unicorns. But these Nebility shorts? Game changer. The first time I pulled them on (yes, it's a workout - think of it as pre-glam cardio), I immediately noticed how the double-layer fabric hugged my tummy without making me feel like a stuffed sausage.

The magic happens when you stand up - suddenly my muffin top vanished and my booty got this perfect lifted C-shape. I wore them under a bodycon dress to a wedding and didn't once have to do that awkward bathroom shuffle to adjust rolling fabric. The non-slip lace at the thighs actually works - no more thigh strangulation!

What surprised me most was the back support. Those spiral steel bones are invisible but make my posture look amazing while secretly preventing my usual 3pm slouch. And can we talk about not needing separate underwear? The cotton crotch is so soft, I sometimes forget I'm wearing shapewear at all.

Pro tip: Size down if you want serious compression (I did for my second pair). They're not miracle workers for loose skin (that belly button diamond area can get... creative), but for smoothing and lifting? 10/10 would recommend to any curvy girl tired of shapewear betrayals.
