Okay, so I finally caved and bought this shapewear thong after seeing all the hype. Here's my real talk review after wearing it for a week!
First off - the fit is AMAZING. I got my usual size and it hugs everything just right without feeling like a sausage casing. The double-layer tummy control actually works?? Like I ate a huge burrito and still looked snatched.
The fabric feels so soft and breathable - way better than those cheap shapewear pieces that make you sweat buckets. Wore it under a bodycon dress for 8 hours and forgot I even had it on!
BUT... heads up - if you're between sizes, maybe size up. My friend tried mine and said it rolled down on her (though it stayed put perfectly on me). The steel bones in the waistband are genius though - no more awkward adjusting in public bathrooms!
Color me impressed - this actually lives up to the hype. Already ordered another in black! Pro tip: hand wash only - I learned that the hard way with my last shapewear disaster 😅
