Okay, so I LIVE for shapewear that actually works without feeling like a sausage casing. These shorts? Surprisingly decent!

First off – SIZE UP if you’re between sizes. I’m usually a medium (5’6”, 145lbs) but got a large based on reviews. Perfect fit with zero muffin top drama.

The fabric feels like that one expensive sports bra you refuse to throw out – thick but breathable? Magic. It stays PUT all day (bye, thigh roll-up trauma) and the silicone grips are chefs kiss.

Now the booty lift… is it subtle? Yes. Dramatic BBL vibes? No. But my jeans looked 10% better and my waist? SNATCHED. Wore it under a bodycon dress to a wedding – zero visible lines.

Cons: 1) Shows under super thin fabrics (RIP my silk dress plans). 2) Takes wrestling skills to put on initially. 3) That ‘indent below the butt’ issue some mentioned? Only happens if you size down aggressively.

Final verdict: 8.5/10 – not life-changing but damn good for the price. Would repurchase for nights out/gym!
