SHAPERMINT Shapewear for ladies – Excessive-Waisted Shapewear Tummy Management Shorts, Faja physique shaper, underwear for ladies

Light support & smoothing for 3x/4x pear/hourglass shapes
I wanted to post an initial review in case anyone like me has events this weekend and is considering buying this.TL; Dr: these shaper shorts are great if you’re looking for light compression/support and some smoothing.As a tall plus size woman (5’11”, 310lbs, 50-46-56, usually wear a 3x/4x), this item suits my needs to look a bit smoother under clingy dresses, prevent thigh chafing, and provide some abdominal compression for POTS symptoms relief. I have my highschool reunion this weekend and will be wearing a bodycon dress, so I wanted some shaper shorts that would smooth me out a bit without being uncomfortable. The mixed reviews on this item scared me a bit, but so far I’m glad I took a chance. I’ve been wearing them to work the past couple of days to test them out in case I needed to switch sizes or to another brand.These shaper shorts are surprisingly comfortable for having a decent amount of light-modedate compression. While I’m tall, I’m also quite short-waisted with a long hip/pelvis, and carry most of my weight in my stomach, butt, and upper thighs. The waistband comes all the way up to my bra line, but so far has not rolled down thanks to the fabric quality and small stays strategically placed. The legs are also a great length to not roll on my thick thighs – I’m easily able to adjust them higher or lower depending on the length of my skirt. The fabric is fairly breathable and soft, doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Other than the very top of the waistband, I can’t feel them on after a bit.I’m glad I went with the 4x instead of the 3x. My measurements were on the low end of the 4x, and I decided to opt for comfort over stronger compression. The shorts are quite stretchy, and I imagine someone several inches bigger than me could comfortably wear them. The shorts washed fine in a laundry bag on delicate cycle and didn’t shrink too much. I can’t speak to their long-term durability and performance, but I will update this review after my events with pictures and final thoughts.Overall, I definitely can recommend these to others looking for similar qualities in shaper shorts. I hope this review helps other tall plus size women as I know how hard it is to find comfortable, flattering clothing for us.

Possible Merchant Error
Lots of the reviews described the product being too big when ordering the size according to the chart. The shorts fit, but they didn’t really provide the support expected. On the advice of a few, I purchased a size xs/s instead of m/l like I normally do.When I looked at the shorts, I thought there was no way that I was going to be able to fit my skinny-squishy 165lb body in those itty-bitty things. But I did. And without much effort at all. They’re tight, but they’re not snatching my waist like they’re supposed to. Everything is smoothed out. No bulges. And I can breathe, but it didn’t shape my stomach. My stomach is still pooching out like it did before. There’s just smooth flub-blub now instead of multiple flub-blubs and no muffin top (which is nice).I sat down on the bed to see if it was possible to still breathe (it was) and I looked at the package. On the back of the package it says “Plus-size black small” and it now makes sense why I am able to wear it.I’m 5’11. 165lbs. All of my weight is in my stomach, hips, and thighs. I wear a size 10-12 in jeans.Plus-sized clothing is made specifically to accommodate a body type that is beautifully voluptuous. Plus-sized clothing is labeled “16W” or “16 curvy” fur example. The W or curvy indicating that it will fit a fuller figured individual. I know there’s not a small in plus-size, but I think I’ve figured it out nonetheless:I have a friend that wears a size 14 curvy which is another way to tell the shopper that this product is constructed differently from a size 14 regular. The curvy or the W are constructed in a way that allows a fuller figure to settle comfortably unlike the regular that would be far too tight and constricting in the waiste, knees, and calves. Anyway…I checked on Amazon and found a plus-size Shapermint, high waisted shaper shorts that can be purchased in size S-3xl. These shorts are made like the curvy or W to accommodate curves that a woman who wore a regular small would not have. I believe the seller may have accidentally shipped a plus-sized garment when the purchaser wanted a regular rather than plus. And I think that this is why some buyers are talking about sizing down while others are describing being swallowed by a boa constrictor and not being able to breathe, or move, or sit.Maybe if I had a regular small then I’d be complaining about that, too because, trust me, I may be skinny-squishy but I haven’t been able to fit into a small anything since 9th grade. And that was 32 years ago. 🤷‍♀️

It would have had a 5 star if it was 100% honest.It doesn’t pull your tummy in.1.It doesn’t show any VPL as I had undies on underneath them.
