Title: Light support & smoothing for 3x/4x pear/hourglass shapes
Review: 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.

Title: Amazing!!!!!
Review: I have never been able to find a good pair of shapewear even for my own wedding! I hated the pair I had for my wedding. I needed a new pair for my sisters wedding coming up, I had a friend recommend these, and I just tried them on and omg!! Amazing!!! Super comfortable! They stay in place! No rolling up the legs or down the belly! They suck everything in! I ordered a 3X and they fit perfect and it hardly feels like I have anything on when wearing them. 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!

Title: Smooths lines, doesn't snatch you up
Review: Mkay, let me just say that the hype around Shapermint and that whole "snatch you up" and make you look like a tiny little thing is baloney. It smooths lines and definitely keels the rolls and cellulite from showing but I didn't magically lose any inches and suddenly look like some twiggy little supermodel after putting it on so don't get excited and think this is the solution to your problems, ladies. It's bs.The GOOD points are, as I said, they smooth you out and keep the pooch and cottage cheese thighs from looking that way. It's lightweight and breathable but also supportive and does NOT roll up/down. The legs do kind of scootch up a bit if you pull them down too far but you really do feel secure in this thing.I would absolutely buy another one (I bought one in Nude and want to get one in Black because you should have one in each color, really). Just don't go believing those videos of the big girls putting one on and suddenly fitting into jeans 10x too small for them and looking like they went from Lizzo to Beyonce with the help of a Shapermint undergarment.

Title: Possible Merchant Error
Review: 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. 🤷‍♀️

Review: Ok.... so for my wedding I ordered it tried it worked perfectly it never rolled down I suggest once yiu have set it and put it in place rub with your hands the top part on your skin so the silicone inside can stick to your skin. the part where it rolled was the leg part I did not notice until I touched my dress and felt something and when I llooked it was from the leg so no it dosent roll down. It had very small tummy control but it does smooth out the sides tho. very comfortable.

Review: Es muy elástica y cómoda, sugiero comprar una talla por dejado de tu talla regular si desea que te ajuste más, yo compré una talla por encima de la mía y resultó ser muy grande, aún así me gusta como un fondo para vestido y ya pedí mi talla para control ligero
