Maidenform Women's Seamless Mid-waist Thigh Slimmer Shapewear, Soft & Lightweight Firm Control Thigh Shaper Shapewear Briefs (pack of 1)

Just received this item and I have already ordered another one in a different color. I love that it has firm control, but it is the first one that actually was easy to pull up. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and I have limitations, which makes it very difficult to use very tight foundation.

This review is for the Maidenform womens Seamless Shapewear, Tummy Control Thigh Shaper Shorts, Mid-waist Thigh Slimmer With Firm Control (XX-Large, Evening Blush). It’s “firm control” is indicated to be level 2 out of 3. I found the compression to be minimal and would describe it as a level 1. They are very comfortable, prevent thigh chafing, and smooth out the hips and backside under a thin dress. There wasn’t much of a butt lift but it certainly didn’t minimize the backside. It didn’t hold in my tummy- I noticed no difference with or without the shapewear. It was very easy to breathe in and was exceptionally comfortable. Overall I found it to provide smoothing only. The size chart goes off of dress size and hip measurements. Based on that I ordered a 2x which is the size that I would have expected to order. I don’t think that a size smaller would have provided much more smoothing since the fabric is lightweight. I’d also worry about rolling if I sized down. Overall I like this quite a bit for a smooth and comfortable layer under dresses.

I've never really tried a shaper garment, even after my 2 pregnancies. Unfortunately, now that I'm past menopause, I was foolish enough to gain a little weight. I mean a little - about 10 - 15 lb. and Lord above, where it landed is just MEAN. Anyway, I wanted to give this a try to see if I can get that new little roll at the top of my hips to calm down or smooth down or whatever this garment might do to help. Overall, it's super comfortable, without rolling. I like a high waisted garment, and this does stretch up high, and fits firmly without been too tight all the way down. Love it. And that new addition to the lower belly/hip area is still there but much more understated. Super pleased. When Prime Day rolls through, I'll seriously consider getting a 2nd one. I have a big event coming up (son's wedding). I'm trying to just lose that weight but as any post meno woman will confirm: It goes on a WHOLE lot easier than it comes off. Love it. Recommend it.

Bummed because these roll up at the bottom therefore defeating the purpose of them. They fit fine so it’s not like they’re too small or too big. They would actually be very comfortable if only they didn’t roll up and cause chafing!

I have been a fan of this shapeware brand for years. I have never been disappointed with the quality and these are no exception. This mid-waist slimmer has just the right amount of "control" for me, which means it is not tight and binding but there is just enough compression to remind me to hold that tummy in when someone's taking a picture. L O L I will generally wear something like this more as a smoother than a shaper because I like to be comfortable. The length of the legs on these will be nice because I can wear them under dresses this summer. I have thighs that are somewhat heavy for my height and frame, so I probably won't use them as a leg shaper because someone would be able to see the bulge of where it stops if I was wearing pants. But that band is not overly constructing and it's going to just help these stay in place. I'm pleased with the amount of stretch on these. They go on so easily! As a person who is 5 foot five and carries more weight through hips and thighs, I bought the medium size because it matched my measurements. It works well for me but I might invest in a size large as well, if I want to use them as shorts under clothes and not feel them at all. My waist is considered "short" and these come up just above it but I did not notice them rolling down after wearing it for an hour. These are nice Maidenform quality. The price is slightly high here but I know from experience that this brand lasts for years.
