First impression? These boyshorts feel like a second skin. The 90% nylon/10% spandex blend is buttery soft—way more comfortable than most shapewear I’ve tried. They don’t dig into my ribs or leave muffin-top marks, just gentle compression that smooths everything out.

I wore them under a bodycon dress for a wedding, and they stayed PUT. No rolling, no slipping—just seamless coverage. The wide waistband is clutch for all-day wear. Surprise bonus? The sheer crotch (yes, it’s noticeable) actually kept me cooler in summer heat when paired with nude undies.

Don’t expect extreme waist-cinching—this is light control that subtly enhances your natural shape. I’ve since repurposed them as sleep shorts (so breathable!) and anti-chafing layers under skirts. Pro tip: Size up if between sizes—the silicone grip lining helps but can feel snug.

The fabric does show through light-colored pants, so stick to dark outfits or dresses. At 5'4", I wish they came in a longer thigh-length option, but for the price? These outperform fancy department store shapewear.
