Okay, so I finally caved and bought these high-waisted shapewear panties after seeing so many TikTok girls rave about them. Here's the real tea ☕️

First off – the compression is NO JOKE. I wore these under a bodycon dress to a wedding and actually got asked if I'd lost weight. The steel bones and silicone strips kept everything locked in place all night without rolling down (miracle!).

But PSA: SIZE UP! I'm usually a medium but had to exchange for large. The XXS reviewer must be a fairy because these run small. The fabric is stretchy but you want that compression to be firm not suffocating.

Major win – they don't give me that awkward sausage-leg effect some shapewear does. The seamless design really disappears under clothes. Though heads up tall girls – the waist might stop short like another reviewer mentioned.

Only con? The butt-lifting feature is... optimistic. Let's just say my pancake booty still looks like a pancake, just a slightly smoother one 😂 But for tummy control? 10/10 would recommend for special occasions!
