Spanx® Higher Power Brief

Spanx took plus-size Power Panties and extended the control above the waistline - all the way up to just beneath the bra line - to create these Higher Power Briefs. Goes great under shorter dresses and skirts. Comfortable all-cotton panty. Non-binding leg bands minimize visible panty lines. \r\n \r\nTransform your figure in body slimming, plus size shapewear, tights and bras from Spanx. Nobody fits you like Lane Bryant! \r\n \r\n

Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Very comfy, unlike some spanx I have owned, I can actually breathe in it. Doesn't roll when sitting down and comes up high enough to go under my bra strap. Def will order another pair.

rolls near bra area
Date:March 13, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit
Cons: Comfort
I wanted something that would hold my stomach in, but not be too tight which it wasn't, but when pulled up toward the bra area it rolls and this is uncomfortable when wearing it all day.

It rolls
Date:August 6, 2012
This product rolls down as you wear it and sit down. It's a pain to keep pulling it back up.

Waste of money
Date:July 27, 2012
Cons: Fit, lack of support
Purchased these because my daughter raves about Spanx, so I wanted to see what the hype was....sorry I did. I purchased a size E and maybe a smaller size would have worked better. However, per the package, this was the appropriate size. This brief provided no shape/support at all and I REALLY should have paid attention to the earlier reviews...but I'm hard-headed. I now use these as a regular pair of panties, so please don't waste you money on these.

Best spanx product!
Date:July 2, 2012
Pros: Fit, Comfort, quality of material
The shape well and smooth out the belly area. They hold up well in the wash and stay put when you wear it. It doesn't move at all if you tuck it under your bra band. I wish they made this brief with shorts also (but with legs that didn't fall apart and the nylon ripping). Super easy product to wear under a top to help feel smoother and comfortable.

My favorite Spanx
Date:May 31, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I love these Spanx. I don't like shaping on my thighs, so this is a great solution. They hold me in but never get uncomfortable. I wear them over tights or leggings to keep them from falling down. Also, I put my bra on after my Spanx to creat a nice smooth look, like a body suit. It also keeps the waistband in place when I bend over.

It rolls down
Date:January 2, 2012
Cons: Fit, rolls down
I find this product rolls down often especially when sitting. For this reason, I don't even wear it anymore. It was a waste of money for me.

Good Subtle, Comfortable Support
Date:December 1, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This shaper is not a corset. It will not make you look or fit more than half a size smaller. It acts as support, smoothing out a few bulges, and it does it well. It is comfortable, not annoying and it doesn't roll down. You can easily forget you are wearing it, until you look in the mirror and see a smoother shape. It is breathable and completely suitable for everyday wear. I got this shaper because I have big hips, lower tummy, and a little bulge above my belly button, which it handled well. I think it is worth the money if you consider how comfortable it is, and that it can let you wear some clothing that fits, but doesn't look right with certain shapes.

GREAT!!!
Date:November 21, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I actually bought this while I was pregnant!!! This provided me with a lot of COMFORT and helped hold my stomach for support!! This helped minimize my aching back and the whole while tucking in my problematic areas!!! I now need to purchase another one!!! I give this an overall 5. The material is made of out stocking like material. Its not very bulky, lightweight (didn't make me sweat), I love it !!!!

Good not great
Date:September 13, 2011
Pros: Comfort
Cons: hold
If you want a shaper to just smooth out the lumps and bumps then go ahead and buy this one. It did just that for me. However if you want a tight hold to suck you in and get rid of rolls this is not the product for you or me. I had to return it cause it didn't do what I really wanted it to do.

Love Them!
Date:June 26, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I wear several of the Spanx products, and this is my favorite. I used to have the band attempt to roll down in the back, which generally meant I didn't have it pulled up enough or it wasn't even. I started tucking the band under my bra and I don't have any more roll downs. I live by these. No lumps anywhere. I wear them daily.

It only smoothes you out, it does't hold you in. I have only worn it 3 times. It is tearing along the edge and I have a run in it.

OMG.......Amazing
Date:March 9, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
My 14 year anniversary is around the corner...I bought this stunning strapless dress, but after 3 kids and 14 years later things don't seem to be where they should be....I went to Lane Bryant for a strapless bra and was introduced to "SPANX".......WOW ...is what I have to say!!!! Perfect Fit, No Pantie Lines, and Stayed In Place!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! And comfy enough to wear daily....going back and gonna buy at least 5 more pairs.....and what's even better is the Lane Bryant by my house is closing so EVERYTHING is 60% off, even their SPANX products....I only paid $14.40 a pair and bought only 2.....but even at $38 you can't beat it!!!!!!! Every woman should have one......2 THUMBS UP!!!! I couldn't be happier!!!! Best purchase I have ever made!!!!!!

These panties are lightweight, which is good, but did not provide enough support. They were not true to size. They ran larger.

If you are looking for shapewear and have any back flab - do not purchase this item. I just tried this for the first time and I have had to continually pull it up. Yes I have alot of backfat and I have been miserable this day!

REALLY GOOD BUT...
Date:October 17, 2010
Pros: Style, Fit, really sucks it in
Cons: Comfort, hurts the ribcage after a while
I LIKE THIS SHAPER IT DOES SUCK IT ALL IN. AND I DO MEAN SUCK. THE ONLY DOWN FALL TO IT IS THAT IT HURTS MY RIBS AFTER A COUPLE OF HRS WEARING IT. AND IT RIDES UP THE YOU KNOW WHAT. WONT PURCHASE THIS ONE AGAIN BUT I LIKE THE ONE I HAVE.
