Maidenform womens Seamless Shapewear, Tummy Control Thigh Shaper Shorts, Mid-waist Thigh Slimmer With Firm Control

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.

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.

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!

What am I reviewing? I am reviewing Maidenform’s Seamless Mid-Waist Thigh Slimmer How this arrived? In a clear plastic bag, that was simply, but securely, taped shut. I typically prefer heat sealed as I can still stick my finger inside the bag, and I have no idea what may have crawled into that bag from its country of origin to me. [I think a product’s integrity could be compromised when it’s not sealed perfectly from the factory.] Thoughts? I was excited to select this and am mostly happy after wearing. Why I say mostly is because this just has an unusual strap, that is over ( ¼”) wide and acts and feels like I was wearing a thong that I could feel; and I just was no expecting that. Sure, it helps in trying to firm and shape, but I just was not expecting it, and I feel its presence. It’s also an observable feature that just does not look it was sewn-in correctly, as there is a bit of bunching, until worn. Otherwise, this does give some level of support. On a support scale of (1) to (3), with (3) being the highest, this is marketed as a (2), so kind of middle of the road for firm control. Nevertheless, these do offer some slimming properties, which I like. Care instructions? Care instructions are hard to read and are printed on the inside; I use a cold-water wash; do NOT use fabric softener and line dry; that’s it. Weight? The slimmer’s weigh in at about (98) grams, which is just over (3) ounces. Shrinkage? If these did, I did not notice. Fit? I thought it true to sizing. Ride-up? No issues there. Design? Sharp, clean, and thoughtful design. Chafing? None. Tag? Printed tag and a hangtag noting some features. Color? True to listing. Country of origin? Made in Thailand Perfect? Hmm, no, but very good. For me, a strong four (4) star. I hope my thoughts added information.

I have purchased Maidenform in the past (I like their front opening bras). I had no issue with the quality of this. The fabric was smooth and elastic. I would say there isn't a ton of compression - if you have something you want to squeeze more, this isn't it. It smooths a little, but because of the lack of true compression, it doesn't smooth a ton. I guess there was a compromise between comfort and true shaping/compression. Overall it is comfortable, but not what I was looking for in shapewear.

This is really nice shapewear - I don't have any complaints. I've bought Maidenform garments in the past and am a fan of the brand. I don't wear shapewear often, so unfortunately I can't compare it to others in the category or judge the compression level like other reviewers, but I will say it fits comfortably and isn't too tight. It stays rolled down pretty well, unlike some yoga shorts I've had in the past... And I do like how they look, too - they're very flattering. Overall they function quite well.
