Okay, so I finally caved and bought these SHAPERMINT shorts after staring at them in my cart for weeks. As a plus-size gal (5'9", 280lbs) who hates feeling like a stuffed sausage, I was skeptical - but wow, these actually WORK!

The fabric is crazy soft and breathable. Wore them under a bodycon dress for 8 hours at a wedding and didn't once feel like ripping them off in the bathroom (we've all been there). The silicone strips? Magic. Zero rolling even when sitting/eating/dancing like no one was watching.

Pro tip: SIZE UP if you're between sizes! I normally wear 3X but got 4X based on reviews and thank goodness - still get great smoothing without feeling constricted. The thigh length is perfect too - no chub rub during summer heat.

Only con? Could use slightly more tummy compression. But for light shaping that doesn't feel like medieval torture devices? 10/10 would recommend to my thick-thighed sisters!
