Let’s get real—finding shapewear that actually works is like hunting for unicorns. After testing the SHAPELLX Fajas Colombianas Bodysuit (and sweating through the sizing drama), here’s my no-BS breakdown.

The Good Stuff: First, the fabric is *chef’s kiss*—soft but firm, like a supportive bestie. It smoothed my post-baby tummy pooch (C-section warriors, I see you) without suffocating me. The adjustable straps? Lifesavers. I could tweak them for my 5’6", 195lb frame, and the open bust design didn’t squash my chest into pancake mode. Plus, the butt-lifting magic made my jeans fit like I’d secretly gotten a BBL (minus the $$$ and recovery tears).

Zipper Drama: The crotch zipper sounds genius… until you’re doing acrobatics in a public stall. It works, but practice at home first—trust me.

Sizing Roulette: Like other reviewers, I had to exchange sizes (XL was a parachute; Large was Goldilocks-perfect). Pro tip: Check their size chart twice and pray to the fashion gods.

Compression Quirks: While it tames tummy rolls beautifully, some back fat might rebel (I layered a loose blazer). The leg lace has silicone grips… but they occasionally roll up when I wrestle into skinny jeans.

Final Verdict: For $50+, it’s pricey but worth it if you nail the fit. Postpartum moms and curvy girls craving silhouette sorcery—this is your ally. Just size down if you’re between measurements, and maybe skip white pants until you master the zipper.
