As someone who's tried countless shapewear pieces, I was skeptical about the SHAPERX bodysuit - but wow, it's become my secret weapon for effortless shaping!

The first time I put it on, I'll admit I did the 'shapewear dance' (you know the one - hopping around while tugging fabric). But once in place, it magically smoothed everything without feeling like a sausage casing. The open gusset is a game-changer - no more dreading bathroom breaks!

What surprised me most was how breathable it feels. I wore it under a bodycon dress for an outdoor wedding in 80°F weather and didn't feel like I was melting (unlike other shapewear I've tried). The compression is firm where you need it (goodbye muffin top) but gentle on the bust.

Pro tip: Size up if between sizes. While the stretch is impressive, you want that 'hug' not 'squeeze' feeling. After three washes, mine still maintains its shape - no bagging out at the knees like cheaper options.

My only gripe? The thigh seams occasionally roll when sitting for long periods. But for $30? This shaper outperforms pieces triple the price. It's now my go-to under work dresses, date night outfits, and even with oversized sweaters when I want subtle shaping.
