It sucks you in in all the right places but unfortunately the legs roll upwards and the belly area rolls downwards. If they had the plastic band that stops it from rolling I’d give it a 5*.I needed something to wear under my dresses that would keep everything smooth underneath and allow me to wear "shorts/spandex" to feel comfortable. I was going to order spanx, but they would have arrived after I needed them, so I gave these a try. Loved them and they wash really easily.I am 195 pounds and 5'4 ordered 2 of these compress shorts one in large and one in X-large. I actually love both the x-large fit more like a high waist which i love and the make your booty look really good. The large fit great under jeans and the best part is no one can notice... specially under dresses. i love them and ive already ordered in every color...It was a little tight but that’s because of the size I ordered, very pale shorts which don’t match my skin unfortunatelyI got these for my trans daughter. She really likes the way they fit-they provide good support and are are good for wearing under above the knee skirts where she prefers more coverage than a panty but does not want to wear like a bike short. She says they would even make good Lou he wear with a long t-shirt for wear around the house…fit is true to size.Wore this underneath my wedding dress and it made me feel better and less self conscious. I like to wear these under skirts and stuff and just sometimes when I’m a little bloated. I need a white and nude pair.I bought this hoping it would be long enough to keep my thighs from rubbing together while wearing summer skirts. I’m so relieved & glad to say it works extremely well!I am 5’8” and weigh 205. The shorts were just long enough to protect from painful chafing & just short enough to be invisible under a denim mini shirt. Just a little warm—if it were cooler it would be 5 stars.Works best when I wear both at the same time.
