Okay ladies, let me spill the tea on these SHAPERX leggings that everyone's raving about!

First impression: When I pulled them out of the package, I literally laughed at how small they looked. Like, no way was this gonna fit my curvy 5'4 frame. But surprise surprise - that stretchy fabric is MAGIC.

The good stuff:

- The tummy control is no joke! I wore these under a bodycon dress to a wedding and got so many 'have you been working out?' comments. Shhh... our little secret.

- That open gusset design? Lifesaver. No more awkward shapewear struggles in public restrooms.

- The straps are adjustable which is great because I'm between sizes up top.

Not perfect though:

- It does take some practice to put on smoothly. First try was like wrestling an octopus.

- If you're petite like me, the legs might bunch a tiny bit when sitting for long periods.

Final verdict? Worth every penny! I've worn them under dresses, as leggings with boots, even slept in them (oops). They're my new wardrobe MVP for fall.
