 No visible panty lines, or bulges anywhere :o) Aug 27, 2010
First discovered these locally (Australia) at Fernandos, a delightful special occasion boutique in Osborne Park, trying to find an outfit for a wedding. Didnt find an outfit, but got onto this fabulous shapewear. And have been wearing this brand pretty much ever since. I have the high waist and long leg shapewear in both nude and black to cover all possible outfits. Started out just for the special occasion wear, but then decided to wear them daily for every day work wear. No visible panty lines, or bulges anywhere :o) while wearing this shapewear. It feels like my tummy is held in, ie not sticking out like it usually does ! plus surprisingly some lower to mid back support, which you notice straight away, when not wearing the shapewear. Have tried a couple of other brands, but this one is the most supportive and best sizing for my body type.
Over time they become fairly thin in the back crotch area, and the high waist section tends to roll down, mainly in the back area as the elasticity wears, both probably due to extended washing and wearing. If you are not careful, you can easily tear the fabric with a fingernail if you do not smooth it out as you go along, rather than try to pull it up from the top. Speaking from experience, but did fix the ladder run with nail polish! It is like putting panty hose on, need to start from the extremities and work your way up, slowly but carefully. To keep the shapewear anti static, for the synthetic type clothing, I smooth on body lotion in the inner and outer thigh region, seems to stop it from being too clingy. Not so bad with pants but a definate problem with a skirt. Interesting feeling in the open crotch area when wearing a skirt, but you do get used to it !!
Would definately recommend and buy again, now actually !
 I thought spanx were bad until I tried these Feb 16, 2008
I'm not big but everyone wants to be a little smaller. I've tried spanx after hearing about them everywhere, and they held in the tummy a some but did almost nothing for the thigh area. I tried layering three and I saw some slimming but still minimal, so I decided to try these. Yes, they pull in the tummy a little but it's not hard to find a shaper that does. They actually made my thighs looks Bigger! These are also harder to get on and less comfortable. The way they rearrange my thighs really makes them look worse. I'd pass and get the spanx if you really need one.

Probably the best shaper so far. Oct 06, 2007
I have tried more brands and types of shapewear and "support" wear than you could count, and this is far and away the best for comfort AND support. The only seams are on the inner thigh, so no red seam mark on your tummy at the end of the day. The top band is soft, and I don't know how they do it but it stays up and doesn't roll even without the "gripper" elastic. The best part? The back support. I am a nurse, and I didn't realize how much lower back support the Bodywrap gave me! Ten times better than any other shape wear or "girdle" garment you could buy. Plus the high-waist comes with the split crotch, no snaps or hooks to mess with. If you don't have one, buy it now. Buy two!
