Smooth was never so comfortable

Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I love being able to pick my own bra. I also love being able to have that smooth look to my dresses without the ridiculousness of continual wiggling and tugging. Excellent design

Fantastic Fabric
Date:December 13, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
The material of this shaper is soft, yet it provides enough support.
I also found it to be true to size.

Couldn't live without this!
Date:September 8, 2012
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: price
I absolutely love this piece! I have had other spanx and went for the one that had an even higher control level; however it rolled down and was terrible. What I love about this is that there is no worrying! It will not fall down and it slims you just perfectly. I had weight loss surgery 8 months ago and will continue to buy these in every size I need to! I love the opening in the bottom. It works perfectly and I never have to worry about taking it off to use the ladies room. LOVE this!

Maybe it smooths some, but that is it!
Date:September 5, 2012
Cons: Fit
Ordered a 3X, according to measurements and it was too big. Did nothing. Went to a store and tried 2X and 1X. They seems to suck in legs some, maybe smooth a bit, bit did nothing for my ab roll, which was my main issue. I just returned it and gave up. Not worth the money and does virtually nothing.

Design flaw...
Date:July 1, 2012
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: Style
This thing is fantastic. If you get the right size, it's comfortable, slimming, and well worth the price tag. However, I took off a star for ONE DESIGN FLAW... Spanx, please: use hooks and eyes, or something other than that awful little hole we're supposed to be able to do our business with. It DOES NOT WORK, and quite frankly, it makes a MESS. That is the ONE reason I hesitate to wear this every day. You about have to strip down and go, then get dressed again in order to not walk out with a wet butt. And in a public restroom, that's unreasonable and unsanitary and dang near impossible!!

Smooth, it does not
Date:June 17, 2012
Pros: Style
Cons: Fit, Comfort
I think this is the worst value for a spanx product ever. I wish I could say I was exaggerating, but it's the way I feel. The cost is way to high for a sub par product. I felt like it was just another, slightly uncomfortable, layer of fabric underneath my clothing. After a few hours, the underarm area started digging into me and became unbearable. There was no smoothing whatsoever and just overall a huge disappointment.

I love it!
Date:May 6, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
So easy to put on and super comfortable. The thighs don't roll up and it's easy to move and dance. No sweating or chaffing! Just fabulous. Only complaint is that it's hard to go to the bathroom in but most shapers are that way.

This thing is great
Date:April 13, 2012
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: straps are a bit uncomfortable
Honestly the only bad thing I have found about this product what the straps, as have been previously mentioned, can be rather uncomfortable. I used to wear mine ALL THE TIME when I was a 26/28, and it's very comfortable. I was worried it would be super uncomfy but it's not at all. I actually am saving up to buy a new one since I had gastric bypass and am now a 14! I think it's totally worth the money it it helps with back rolls too as it goes up high in the back and under your arms. Really gives you a great smoothing down.

Do not buy!!!!!
Date:March 17, 2012
Cons: Style, Fit, Comfort
Have several spanx products and love them all. Yesterday I bought this product, full price and spend over $90 in the store. I agree with previous posts, the material is strange and absolute no hold whatsoever. My absolute main problem was that the shoulder straps are the most UNCOMFORTABLE you can ever imagine. The adjustment hook on the strap dug into the side of my armpit during the entire evening I was wearing it. Once I took it off I had huge red marks from all the friction and the next morning I could still see the marks. Would love to see if there is some way to return this since I consider it to be completely sub standard to all other spanx products!

Smooths...and you can still breath!
Date:December 14, 2011
Pros: Comfort, not overly tight
Cons: loosens over time
I agree with previous reviewers who say this is not the most constrictive Spanx product out there, but that is not its appeal. This Spanx will smooth your lumps and bumps so that you look super smooth without cutting off your ability to breath. It is thick, so is not the best choice on a hot summer day outside. Also, after wearing it for a long time, the metal adjustable "hooks" on the straps really can start to dig in. I have removed mine and sewed the straps instead. After all, I don't need to adjust them once I figured out how long to make them. My biggest complaint is that over time it has seemed to "grow" with me, so I will likely buy a new one soon, and may go down a size to see how I like the tighter fit. I completely recommend this Spanx!

Definitely NOT "Super"
Date:September 11, 2011
Cons: doesn't work!
This barely holds you in at all. The material is weird and different than other Spanx products. I had such high hopes that this would be like the Slim Cognito Mid-Thigh Shaping Bodysuit, but with straps so I could actually get it on myself without having to negotiate all those little straps that go around your bra on the Slim Cognito model, but alas -- no go. :( I do NOT recommend this. I don't think it would have helped to go a size down, either. The material is just weird, for want of a better word. It's like it's not compressing enough.

super duper my behind NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL
Date:May 17, 2011
Cons: Fit, Comfort, overpriced
This "shaper" is not "super" control as stated. It is moderate at best. The material is thick, very shiny, not made or human skin and extremely hot to wear if its humid and hot out. You're better off wearing a diving suit or wrapping yourself in plastic wrap. It ran bigger than expected as well. I purchased the size according to my measurements, but should have gone one size smaller as it slid right on (which is usually a good thing) but due to the fact that I wanted this to HOLD ME IN, being too loose won't work. Returning this useless thing and now have to start my search all over again. NOT WORTH ITS PRICE AT ALL!!!

BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!!!
Date:May 12, 2011
Pros: Fit, Comfort
I bought two of these body suits recently and love them so much I just purchased two more! I've worn the higher power panties in the past but found after awhile they loose their shape and support. I was a little upset when I first tried them on because they didn't give me that "sucked in" feeling. However as soon as i tried on my favorite shirt (that i rarely wear due to muffin top) I almost started to cry! They keep me "sucked in" without feeling constricting at all. I looked at least 10 pounds thinner and have gotten too many compliments to count. HIghly reccommend these to all!!!

Thank you, thank you SPANX!!!!!
Date:March 11, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Oh my gosh ladies this is the best item Spanx has made for the plus size woman!!!!! I needed something that was going to smooth me from my midriff down my thighs and this is it! It truly smoothes all the "ripples" and has great support without feeling like a "stuffed" sausage. I'm sure some of you have experienced that feeling. It is so comfortable that I can wear it everyday and feel my BEST! Speaking as a true 3x, this shaper makes you look great and confident in your clothes . The very best part is that it comes right under your bra and actually provides a little lift to the "girls". Take my word on this ladies, you will LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
