SHAPERMINT High Waisted Body Shaper Shorts Shapewear for Women Tummy Control Thigh Slimming Technology

Dear lord have mercy these are not for short folk. I thought surely my ribs would crack or I'd pass out from oxygen deprivation. Now before you say I must have purchased the wrong size, I purchased one of these in my size, another one size up because I don't trust anything I can't try on and my success at online shopping has been very hit or miss. The result was the same in either pair, so this is not about sizing.The first thing to know I am 5'4 and purchased these for a little shaping in the hips and stomach. I did not know I was also purchasing a torture device! As I rolled that first pair up over my thighs I thought, hmm firm, and up over the belly, really firm. I kept rolling, and rolling, and rolling. Where do these things end! Now I'm getting real close to some delicates that sit well enough above my stomach that they should not be impacted, special things I don't want flattened out. Wrong!So now I have two options I can cover my upper delicates and flatten those out too, hello 5'4 extra thick board! Or I can stop unrolling these things, fold them down a bit, because an extra bulky ridge anywhere is exactly what I was looking for......I chose to fold them down a bit because flat wide board wasn't the look I was going for. Let me tell you, I chose wrong. The fabric these are made from is strong and the waistband on these are very, very strong. Now that's three very strongs right there all rolled into one, directly under my ta-ta's, coiled around my body like a starved boa constrictor that just wanted me to die! Added to that, there's still all that really strong fabric I assume was intended to cover the stomach of a giantess crushing my ribcage.....I...could...not...breathe....world...spinning....lights dimming.....HEEEELP!Now before you say you should never fold them down; you are right and I know this. But these things are never ending. It's not trying to squeeze yourself into a pair of hosiery that's just too small, where you pull and stretch and suck it in the make them stretch up to your waist. Nooo, no no no, these things are not those things, these things are just designed for someone at least 7 ft tall with a stomach waist area the length of my entire upper body. Trust me I considered user error, rolled them off and back on again and just stopped that waistband right at my waist which was about as effective as well I don't even know because it was not effective at all, but it was bulky. Moving along to the next pair, I have no idea what I was thinking, because this pair was no better. I did everything in my power to not pull or stretch them in any way. Just thrust one chubby thigh in after the other and then pretended I was a weeble wobble. A little shake and shimmy, A wiggle, a weeble and a wobble and I'm in! I gently eased that fabric covered super strength boa constrictor waist into place just above my natural waist and definitely below my ladies on high. Now I'm still breathing but they felt very heavy in the stomach area, almost as if there was just too much fabric piled on my stomach and I could have pulled them much, much further up. I also immediately noticed my stomach was definitely being "shaped". It was a very weird feeling. I felt like I was sucking in my stomach but also had a pile of concrete blocks pushing my stomach further in well past any average "sucking in" . Suddenly I was standing very straight, like a soldier at attention. I could not relax my stance, I tried. As the web of murder continued to exert all the forces of the universe on my stomach, all the body mass had to go somewhere, and it went up! I am fairly certain one of my kidneys just popped right on up under my ribs. What was that pain pressing against my spine? Well, that was the rest of my internal organs all pressing back and up, against my spinal column and under my ribs. All this pressure and upward movement of body mass and organs was making it difficult to breathe; short breaths, short breaths......I couldn't stand at attention any longer, so as my organs continued to shift, I slowly sat down. Have you ever tried to sit while part of your body is wrapped in a body cast? Me neither until right then.Now I am sitting there, straight as a board, my stomach continuing to cave in, my refugee organs pressing further and further into the space previously occupied by my lungs making breathing more difficult by the second. This was not working out, I had to get out of this torture device, I needed to breathe! Seriously, I needed oxygen....to live. And so, with every intention of rolling the death shapers off my body, I stood up and that is all I remember. I woke up on the floor with my husband kneeling over me, scissors in hand, a fresh red welt clearly visible. Apparently, he was unable to work his stubby fingers under the boa constrictor waistband and did the next best thing; he cut that medieval death shaper from the thigh up. When the scissors finally chewed through the waistband, that angry snake band decided it was not going down without a fight, snapped back and gave the poor man a welt.Ladies, if you’re tall, into BDMS or torture, you might like these. If you want to test your pain tolerance or endurance, these are for you. If like me, you prefer the security of knowing all your internal organs are in their designated spaces, move along to the next product. If you are short, move along. Lastly if breathing is not relevant to you have at these, for the rest of you, if you like breathing as much as I do, just keep scrolling, these are not for you or me.

The item came in great condition, the only problem I really had was with the sizing. I followed the size guide to my fitting but it ended up fitting in a sense just right. That means it didn't really snatch my belly as I expected and probably should've went a size down.Don't be a afraid to try and go a size down to get an ideal snatch, because if it is "fitted" it won't hold everything in and you can still significantly see your belly like normal, but smoother. I do still plan to suck it up and use what I got because it is not a bad pair of shorts that should go to waste, especially since I have came up with a few outfit ideas with these now "regular" used shorts.

Look, I don't normally write reviews, even when I love a product. But these worked so well I had to share my experience. I got a black and beige set in medium (5'3, 137 lbs). I wore them under my tennis dresses in the 95 humid degrees of Rome in July (I do not recommend Rome in July!!!). I thought for sure that they would feel hot and that I would be left with a swampy feeling. Instead I was most pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, soft, and "barely there" they felt. They did not move one centimeter from where I placed them. There was no irritating noise and no sign of chafing. And the compression was perfect to hold back all the pasta and pizza eaten. While the rest of me was soaking wet, these were only mildly damp when I took them off. All I can say is bravo and THANK YOU Shapermint for making such an excellent product! My only regret was not taking more on my trip!

If you're looking for some tummy AND back smoothing, with some anti thigh chafing provided by a fabric that WON'T make you feel sweaty, gross, and in a thermal wrap - this is for you!It's not super compressing, so if you're looking for anything tighter than mild support / roll smoothing, this isn't for you. I am planning to use this in a wedding next month - I wanted something a little extra compared to my post partum (I say post partum but my kiddo is 1 now lol) granny panties to shape the fupa into something not so.... Fupa-y.Will try to remember to write an update after wedding haha

I received them I tried them I thought they would be a bit but tight I’m 5’9 & weight 224 I got a m/l thinking hey it might be just right but they where very easy to put on kinda like slip on lol and I am going to keep them but I wish I would of got a bit more suck in feeling but over all very nice I might buy the xsmall but that would be a first for me lol

I needed this to wear under a smooth dance ballroom dress, and it's not bad.I ordered the M/L (my typical size) but given the amount it stretches, the S may have provided a little more control.My details: I'm 5'4", ~170 lbs, wide hourglass shape.Pros:- The garment is nice and long. I was able to put under my bra strap across my ribs so it made a nice seamless line across my back, and the shorts landed just above my knee (3 inches?).- The non slip grip at the top stays put. Really nice when you're dancing. Garment is also soft and breathable.- Slimming effect is nice over hips/thighs/butt.Cons:- The shorts did roll up a bit after awhile. Inconvenient but not a huge deal breaker for me.- I was disappointed in the tummy control. This did not "hold me in" like I was expecting. I ended up sucking it in so my front side looked flatter.Overall, if you're just looking for something to wear under your dress, this is comfortable and it will work. However, if you're looking for shape wear that will smooth and flatten your front, you may want to consider another item.

I’m 5’8 and 180, and with a big event coming up I wanted to smooth out my stomach area as that is the area where most of my weight (unfortunately) went- lower belly and love handles.I had reasonable hopes, but I was very disappointed after everything I had heard. I have jeans that suck and hide that zone better than this shape wear! Ultimately I wore shorts under the dress instead of this product, because they did more for me.

Se rompio la tela en el primer uso, no las costuras, la tela... 💸💸

Das Produkt ist nicht von Shapermint wie es beschrieben ist. Es ist ein ganz anderes Shapewear.

Very nice

Is not as easy to put on as video, so think video is not correct. Pulls in stomach put pushes up excess blubber over the top. I will keep it but HAVE to wear a second longer skinny pant to flatten out rib area .

Item does not stay up for long.
