Okay, so I finally caved and bought these LODAY compression tanks after seeing them everywhere. Here's the real tea:

First off, the fabric is BUTTERY soft. Like, 'why am I just discovering this now?' level of comfort. The 56.5% nylon + 43.5% spandex combo really does feel like a second skin.

The tummy control? Actually legit. I wore this under a bodycon dress to a wedding and my food baby was nowhere to be seen. The double-layer design isn't suffocating but gives just enough smoothing.

Big win: NO BRA NEEDED! As someone who hates underwires, the memory support strip gives decent lift without feeling like a medieval torture device. Though heads up - if you're bigger chested (I'm a 36C), you might still need pasties for nipple coverage.

The silicone hem is genius - stayed put through my entire Zumba class without rolling up. Unlike some other shapewear that migrates north throughout the day...

Only complaint? The straps dig in a bit if you adjust them too tight. I fixed this by wearing them slightly looser than usual and it was fine.

Verdict: 4.5/5 stars - would definitely repurchase (already eyeing the long sleeve version for winter). Perfect for under work clothes or even as sleepwear!
