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

First off, they’re SOFT. Like, ‘why isn’t all my underwear this buttery?’ soft. The fabric (90% nylon/10% spandex) feels luxurious against skin, and the seamless design means no awkward digging or chafing.

The tummy control is… present but polite? Don’t expect a corset-level squeeze—it’s more like a gentle hug that smooths things out without making you feel like a stuffed sausage. Perfect for under dresses when you want to avoid the dreaded muffin top situation.

Now the quirks: The crotch area is weirdly sheer (👀), so nude undies are a must unless you’re going for ~abstract art~ under your clothes. Also, the shorts are SHORT—like ‘is-this-even-covering-my-cheeks?’ short—but somehow they don’t roll up? Magic?

Pro tip: The silicone grip lining (newer versions) keeps them in place BUT might irritate sensitive skin. I personally love it for preventing ride-ups under bodycon dresses.

Final verdict? 8/10. Not life-changing, but definitely wardrobe-upgrading. Would repurchase… though I might cut out those silicone strips next time 😅
