Spanx Women's Higher Power Thigh Slimmer

Product Information

Though you could go with the old reliables, like Spanx and Yummie, or the newer, buzzy brands like Knix, our pick for the best shaping shorts is this pair from Rago. Not only are they the “blackest black tights” Silver has ever tried, but they also come with a “waist-cinching band” that means you don’t need to put on another shaping layer. You really feel supported” in it, she says, adding that Spanx’s fabrication (a combination of nylon and elastane) is smooth against the body. The misconception that shapewear can’t be sexy and feel great on you while doing its job is dispelled with this piece,” she says, promising that it is totally capable of smoothing you out even with its beautiful, minimal coverage design made from lightweight fabric.

I didn’t want to pin something like a slip or thong with the best-in-class blue ribbon when those are garments meant for specific wardrobe scenarios. Find everyday staples that ensure you feel and look good wearing with our Spanx leggings range, from seamless and camo print styles to leather leggings for a chic look.Individual pieces that target just one area — like your thighs, stomach, or butt — tend to be much more comfortable, and they come in a plethora of options, making it easier to try a few to determine your preferred style. The majority of the other shapewear I tried felt and looked relatively unsexy — I would be embarrassed if anyone saw me in just the shapewear, which definitely impacts how you feel about yourself,” Anello explains. With that in mind, she told us this long-legged pair of shorts from Rago has “totally flat seams that won’t ever show under clothes, a split crotch so you don’t have to wriggle out if it to use the bathroom, and special grippy, lace leg holes that don’t ride up or bind your thighs.

Founded in 2000 by Sara Blakely, Spanx is a dynamic women’s brand changing the way women get dressed with a selection of hosiery, underwear and leggings including briefs from hipsters and thongs to boy shorts in nude and black in plain styles to lace details. Palep applauds the piece’s shaping power, along with its seamlessness (no visible panty lines to worry about since it’s made to be worn on its own without underwear) and non-digging waistband. My first impression was that the thickness of the fabric — a combination of nylon and spandex — would make wearing it unbearable. And though the bodysuit is made to be worn with a bra, it hides the outline of the undergarment well, coming up high on the sides of the bust.There’s a reason, as Levine says, that “We all think Spanx when we hear shapewear”: For a long time, the company made some of the only (comfortable) options. With smarter and more comfortable pieces, Spanx will make any woman feel their best for any occasion.

Whether you want a bit of a boost, a hint of a lift, or just a little tuck, you’re much more likely to find shapewear in a variety of styles with different functions — from straightforward all-over smoothing to more complicated cuts made for dresses that have thigh-high slits. The only seam on this panty is cleverly hidden between the cheeks, making it invisible under clothes.Consider an open-bust bodysuit if you’d rather wear your own bra — this one offers the same torso and thigh sculpting as the full Spanx bodysuit above, without the one-size cups. Lightweight, all-day shaping that is centre-seam free – the Higher Power Short features soft yarns and offers smoothing results.

And even though it may be counterintuitive to how you put on normal tops, when wearing any shaping tank, remember: Step into the garment and shimmy it up. They’re recommended by Freer because the “firm-hold granny panty has special V-shaped leg openings that allow it to expand around the thigh,” giving you the freedom to walk, sit, and dance in total comfort. You should keep in mind that you can’t select your cup size for this bodysuit, which might be a deal-breaker for some. This is in part thanks to more competition in the market — Kardashian-founded Skims, for example, has quickly become a formidable Spanx rival (though there’s a reason why the decades-old label is a fan favorite).

The shorts aren’t particularly formfitting, according to Morgan, so if you’re after dramatic compression, you’re better off with one of the alternatives above. On past bodysuits I’ve owned, the tops of them are the equivalent of those shelf bras you’ll see on tank tops — they don’t do anything.
