Let me start by saying this shapewear surprised me—both in good ways and with a few quirks. As someone who’s worn compression garments after multiple surgeries, I’ve tried my fair share, and SHAPERX stands out for its unique blend of support and comfort.

The Post-Surgery Game-Changer: After abdominal lipo and fat grafting, I needed something that wouldn’t irritate fresh incisions. The neoprene-like fabric (softer than typical PowerNet!) hugged my torso without digging in. Pro tip: Adjust the shoulder straps by twisting them slightly—it prevents cutting into shoulders, a hack I learned from my surgical team.

Everyday Confidence Boost: Wore it under a bodycon dress for a wedding, and wow—the butt lift and waist cinching were unreal. No awkward rolling at the thighs thanks to the silicone bands, though sitting for long hours made the waistband fold inward slightly (my only gripe).

Bathroom Wins & Fails: The thong-style + hook closures make bathroom trips manageable (unhooking 2/3 clasps works best), but the bodysuit design isn’t for everyone. If you dislike full coverage, this might feel restrictive.

Sizing Note: Runs snug! I’m 5’6", 181lbs (40-35-43) and barely squeezed into a Large post-op. Size up if between sizes or bloated.

Final Verdict: Not perfect—durability could improve—but for $50-ish? A steal compared to $200 medical fajas. Ideal for special events or recovery, just mind the sizing quirks.
