SPANX SPANXsculpt OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short - Powerful Sculpting Shapwear for Women - Level 4 Compression

My main concern was the top rolling down and I even chatted with someone on the Spanx website who said that if you are in between sizes then sizing up will help prevent rolling. Even though I am losing weight, I went ahead and got the larger size. Trying it on and walking around my house I was disappointed at first because it immediately started rolling down. Loved it everywhere else so I decided to wear to work the next day with the straps to hold the top in place (pro tip: don’t try to figure out the straps when you are already running late! Took me a good five minutes searching for the second strap I swear I just had before I realized they were hooked together). Not sure if it just needed a stretching from the initial try on or if the straps did anything, but I had almost no rolling of the band wearing these for over 10 hours! I didn’t have that tummy sauna/sausage casing feeling like with cheaper brands. I am a little wary of using the opening - I got the nude color and they are almost see-through. One thing that is nice about the shorts style shapewear is that your rear end is covered in a dress - it looks like they mean for you to wear these without underwear but with the transparency and the big hole, I felt it was too risky. I was hesitant to buy these because of the expense, but then I realized that I had 3 $20 ones to return that just didn’t work for me despite rave reviews. I learned a lesson in buying quality here. I think the style is good for those with long torsos - they went all the way up without any issue and I’m normally fighting the highwaisted styles to get them in place. For reference, I’m 5’9” 180lbs size 12/14, pear shaped and I bought large.

Well I ordered this for an upcoming event to help smooth out my dress which was slightly clingy. I ordered a Small as I’m 5’ 3” and fluctuate between 99 & 102 lbs & usually wear a 0 or 2. So I was surprised when I couldn’t get them past my knees!! Haha! But after a few committed minutes, they did finally pull up & settled above my waist—Wow!! Immediately Slimming & Figure enhancing! And they were actually quite comfortable once I got them on fully. They really did make a good difference in how my dress looked on & also tried a few other dresses on to compare. Just lovely & completely hidden under even the most fitted dresses! I did not experience any “roll down” from top—but had the top band placed under my bra band. Not something I’d wear daily, but excellent for special events & dresses. Size up if you’re unsure as it does take a moment to get them on ;). Worth the extra cost!!

I think this is a great product. It does fit like a tight hug with high compression in the belly but at the same time it's completely comfortable so you can wear it all day long. This shapewear actually does what it says it does. The fit is true to size so check the size chart before buying. The reason why I'm leaving 4 stars and not 5 is that the leg part does roll a bit so I had to adjust it throughout the day. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It's definitely high quality material. I have bought many other belly bands and this one is by far the best. The higher price is justified since it's definitely a superior product.

I was super excited for these Spanx since they are a new design and just came out. When I finally put them on, I was deeply disappointed. First, they are high waisted but they seem to come up higher than other high waisted Spanx I own. The proportions just didn’t work for my body. But that’s fine because they actually have a bigger problem... They roll. I really like the material that they used for the front panel, but there is a waistband above that panel made of just a standard polyester and it rolls. I couldn’t get them to lay flat for the life of me. So they removed the bumps on my tummy but created bumps on my back and upper waist- which looked extremely odd. I wish I had done more homework before buying because I found so many similar reviews! I’m also disappointed because I didn’t put them on until after the return window closed. Lesson learned!

I have used other shapewear in the past, but this was my first Spanx purchase & I had high hopes. I liked the fabric. It is smoother & softer than most other shapewear. The waist band also stayed up where it was supposed to without adjustment. It's tight to get into at first, but once in place, it was very comfortable. My one complaint, and it's no small complaint since this was a major reason for buying shorts, is that the legs rolled up constantly. Unless I was standing still, the legs needed to be adjusting. Sitting, walking, dancing, climbing stairs all lead to uncomfortable & unflattering rolling.

I purchased these in two sizes, small and medium, in addition to S and M of a different style, in hopes that one would work for me. Overall, these are a great product that holds in what you need them to, once you are finally able to squeeze them over your hips and up your sausage link legs. It was ROUGH getting them on the first time; it took me about ten minutes (including doing a bridge on the floor and squeezing the top part over my hips). I am 5'4 and 145 lbs, thought I would be just fine in the medium. At first I thought I wasn't going to get them on but I was really committed to the cause! Once they were on, they were fantastic, surprisingly comfortable, legs didn't roll up and top didn't roll down. There is a specially made hole in the crotch for bathroom purposes, I tried it but found it to be potentially dangerous/messy. Final opinion- Great product, glad I got it! Just be ready for the fight to put them on.

Never can go wrong with this brand! Quality material the best. Comfortable and they last long.

This is a VERY high waisted Short and would fit someone with a longer torso much better than me. (I am 5'4", 160 lb), The bigger problem is that the top rolls down like a bad pair of pantyhose. It leaves a lumpy look under smooth clothing. Not thrilled with this purchase and I wish I didn't miss the deadline to return.
