Spanx Higher Power Brief® SKU: #7797089

This was quite comfortable and did the job, but there is a problem if you're a shorter woman: it's proportioned for those who are at least 5'6. In order to get the correct shaping effect and not have folds around your waist, you need to pull it all the way up. But, that left me with a good 3 inches too much at the top. (I'm 5'3.5, for reference.) I folded the extra down, and it worked OK for what I was wearing. But, it obviously isn't a solution if you're wearing something very fitted or made out of a thin, clingy fabric. I hope Spanx will consider making their products proportioned for height in the future.

The problem that I had with this product, was it has very little control in the tummy area. It does not roll down which was a plus for me. Overall it is not a bad product, just wish it could have a firm control in the tummy and waist area.

I tried this to go under the BCBG Max Azria dress I bought but I looked better w/o it. I don't know how people (like the Kardashians, who swear by Spanx) do it, but yuck. For me. I was really hoping they were comfortable but they weren't. At all. I love the bras though.

Brands I'd also recommend: I recommend working out. LOL

I was really amazed when I put this on. My belly hasn't been this hidden in a long time. I've tried a few of the other big brands-none of them really work. This one did.

I ordered these to wear under a bridesmaid dress for a wedding I was in. They were super comfortable once I got used to the initial squeeze. The top stayed put, didn't roll down. And it smoothed out all the bumps and lumps I've collected after having a baby. Great buy.

It rolls down so I can't wear it from fear it will roll down in public. I like spanx, just not this shape.

I would not recommend this product for people who carry more than 10 extra pounds in the tummy. Although they did flatten out my stomach overall, I looked like a stuffed sausage. The elastic on the top is so tight that you really can't comfortably eat even a light meal while wearing them. Leggs makes a line of shapers that you can buy right at your local drugstore for much less that I think are more comfortable and effective.

Very difficult to get on, but once it's there, it works wonders, even at my size (queen, D).

Didn't like the fit of this at all. It was too tight right under the bust and not tight enough around the midsection. It definitely didn't slim and smooth like it promised to do.

Not a quality product. It does the job, but due to the cotton material it isn't durable. Mine started wearing and tearing the 1st wear.

I had looked all around our little town and could not find anything anywhere. I needed for my wedding. They shipped next day and I got in plenty of time. This was awesome.

This product does what it is intended to do; hold everything together. The only drawback is having to pull it down all the way to relieve oneself. I would suggest crotch snaps or velcro (I cut/sewed the crotch and put in my own velcro). Otherwise, it's as comfy as a compression garment can be.

Brands I'd also recommend: this is the only one i've tried, no suggestions

I am 5'5" and weigh between 150-155lbs, and fall right on the cutoff between sizes B and C. Since I feel very flabby these days, I ordered 'up' to a size C. It takes a long time to put the item on, and I can only wear it for about 4 hours because it is so tight. I do not think it makes me look dramatically thinner as I had hoped, but is slightly better than some of the tight fitting tank tops or exercise clothing that I sometimes layer to hide my flabby belly. Also, the top margin that holds the item on your skin below your bra has a tendency to roll down and let your back fat flop out...

Brands I'd also recommend: Danskin spandex workout tanktops.

Although these are very comfortable, please be aware of the seam up the front. Unless you are wearing a very heavy fabric the line can be visible. Unfortunately I wore these at my Wedding and the line can we seen under my dress in some of the photos!

It fits true to sizing chart, and of course it's not completely comfortable... it's shape wear. But it did not slip or roll up and smoothed out all of the jiggly parts. So I would recommend this product.

I'm a fan. Just had a baby - was a c-section and nothing went back back to the way it used to be. This Spanx allowed me to wear a tight little dress without the bulge. Took my muffin top away! Love it!

Definitely provides support. Not overly attractive from the backside. Wash ability didn't hold up but seamless and better than other less expensive brands. Pretty comfy.
