Okay, so I finally caved and bought these shaping boyshorts after seeing them everywhere. Here’s the real tea:

First off, the fabric is *chef’s kiss*—super soft like butter (90% nylon + 10% spandex = magic). They don’t dig into your ribs, which is a win because some shapewear feels like a medieval torture device.

The tummy control? It’s light-to-mid level. Don’t expect a waist-cinching miracle, but it smooths things out nicely under dresses. Pro tip: The crotch area is sheer (why tho?), so nude undies are a must unless you’re going for ~abstract art~ under your outfit.

Major plus: NO ROLLING. The wide waistband stays PUT. I did jumping jacks (for science) and these bad boys didn’t budge. Also love that they’re tagless—no scratchy surprises.

Downside? They run short (5'2" here and they barely cover my thighs). And heads up—newer versions have silicone grip strips that might irritate sensitive skin. Bring back the OG material, please!

Verdict: 8/10. Perfect for under dresses or lazy days when you want ‘smoother but not squeezed like a sausage’ vibes.
