First off, let me say these shapewear panties are a game-changer. The double-layer fabric really does compress your belly without feeling like you're being squeezed to death. I wore them under a tight dress for a dinner date, and wow—no visible lines, just smooth curves.

The high-waisted design is genius. It stays put thanks to those spiral steel bones (no rolling down mid-event!). I even forgot I was wearing them after a while, which never happens with shapewear. Bonus: my posture felt better too—no slouching!

Breathability? Check. I tested these on a sweaty day running errands, and zero swampy feelings. The material is soft but firm where it counts—my muffin top vanished without digging into my thighs (got my usual size and fit perfectly).

Only heads-up: if you're between sizes, maybe size up. One reviewer mentioned thigh cutting, but personally, I had no issues. These now live in my drawer for every dress-wearing occasion—weddings? Work suits? Yes and yes.
