Customer Reviews Spanx Higher Power® Brief

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.

I love my Spanx! I totally can relate to women who have been working out hard to get rid of their muffin top. I am a person who loves running but still, that does not completely diminish my muffin top, so thanks to this amazing product, I can now wear my skinny jeans and my favorite cocktail dress without worrying about my muffin top. The fabric is so firm and it hugs your body at the right place giving you the absolute curvaceous look. Usually, this kind of product would leave a rash on your body because it is body fitting and close contact to your skin, but not with Spanx, it allows your skin to breath and it absorbs sweat well too. I would highly recommend this to everyone. The only flaw is that, it tends to roll down, so what I do is to tuck it under my bra, that way, it will not roll down. But still it is a great product.

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.

This garmet is great. I wear a lot of knit dress that have a tendency to cling. The spanx briefs evens out those bumps I've had since the kids were born. It makes my silouette seem smoother. And if your're wondering if it stay up, it sure does. It has hooks for your bra but I've never had to use them. And it's great for back support. I really recommend it.

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.

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...

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 am very disappointed in Spanx for this. Their size chart is wildly inaccurate. According to the size chart I am smack dab in the middle of size B. However, when I attempted to try them on, I couldn't even get them over my thighs because they were so tight! And I'm not even a pear shape with bigger thighs and hips, I'm an apple (the whole reason I purchased this product in the first place)! I didn't want to push it because I knew they would rip if I did. So annoyed!

I had surgery and had to wear a compression garment. This did what it was designed to do without being tight and leaving lines around the legs.

No surprises...just what I wanted and hoped it to be.

I really enjoy wearing my new Spanx brief underwear. I should order a smaller size and I will next time. I really need about seven pairs.

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!

I order two of them and thanks to Zappos for fast delivery. This Spanx is work out perfect for me. I'm going to order some more in the future.

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.

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

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.

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 just received my Spanx today and I put them on as soon as I got the package. Ok here is the skinny of it: Fit: I believe that these do fit true to size. I got the correct size and it fits nicely. Comfort- It really comfortable especially the panties which is at times difficult. It does not hurt my upper thigh like some other garments. Fabric. The fabric is really soft and feels good on the skin; I wish the fabric were a little more structured so or tight so it would hold everything in a little better. My only complaint is that the top part is too long...evidently this was made for someone with a longer mid section because there was additional fabric...Maybe I will try a smaller size.

Shapes me very well, and is about as comfortable as shape wear gets. The only problem I have is the seam down the front. I wear pretty tight clothing and unless it's thicker material, it shows through. I've even tried wearing a tank top under thinner shirts to hide it with no success.

Very difficult to get into to, but worth the struggle. The only downfall is that it folds down in the back. I thought it had hooks for the bra but it didn't. It really helps to smooth everything but would be amazing if it didn't roll down.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
