Customer Reviews Spanx Higher Power® Brief

I wear this every day under everything...literally. I don't like that there is a lot of excess fabric in the bottom area. It is good for everyday wear, but if you need to look your slimmest you need to go to the super duper shapers. I used to pull it down to use the restroom but have found you can just pull it to the side so you don't have to wrestle into it every time and end up in a sweaty mess. It washes up well and shrinks back down after being stretched. They last a long time too. I have had mine a couple years and rotate them (I own 3) and they have lasted. I wear it to the gym and it isn't too constricting causing me to pass out from lack of oxygen. If you want everyday slimming under your jeans and workout clothes...this is great. If you have excess stomach skin that leaves you with a "ledge"so to speak...you will want to get a pair of Spanx that is a thigh slimmer as well to help with the ledge look. If you are wearing a dress and have the ledge problem, get the slip style Spanx. Overall, buy the product if you are rockin' the muffin top. If you are rockin' the 3 layer cake top...get the super duper slimmer.

This is the first shapewear item I've purchased where I can actually see and feel the difference. Would like to see some snaps or fasteners which allows easy access when visiting the ladies room. Be sure to order the correct size or you could experience some uncomfortable pinching around the leg opening.

This would have been great but the torso was way too long. Pulled all the way up it was mid breast. I got size B since I am 5'5", 130 lbs. I have a normal length torso and am not petite. Had to roll the top down which caused a lump under my bra strap. I also order the more expensive Incognito Shaping Body Suit just to see and it is well worth the extra money. Fit nicely, easier to pull up and down, more comfortable. I got size small.

The whole point of shapewear is to eliminate bumps and lines and this one has a huge visible panty line when you put it on. I suppose it would work for flowier things but then why do you need shapewear? I am returning it.

WAY TOO TIGHT! I am 5'9", 153 lbs. I am on the low end of 'C' on the Spanx size chart. I ordered a 'D' and it's TOO TIGHT! I seriously cannot believe how tight it was, how hard it was to get up, and how it actually hurt. And as others mentioned with the fabric being too long up the torso, well, they were not kidding! I am 5'9" and it went OVER my breasts! Seriously Spanx? This item was an epic fail on their part. I am normally a huge fan, but not with this garment.

Not as firming and form flattering as I had hoped. I'm looking for some serious shapewear to wear under my wedding dress along with a corset/bra, and I was hoping this would do the job. But it didn't really suck in my tummy and the back rolled down without much movement. Also like others have mentioned if you have a shorter waist there will be access fabric to deal with. I may have ordered a size too large, but I can tell that going down a size won't do the trick. If I'm going to wear a garment this utilitarian (not at all flattering), it has to do its job.

I bought this and now I'm stuck with it. I went by their size charts and it still doesn't fit. I'll not buy from Spanx again!

I'm 5'4" 124 pounds so I'm at the upper end of the size "A" but I got it and couldn't get it up past my knees but the underwear area looked HUGE there is no way they would fit me. I wear a size extra small underwear at Victoria's Secret so I assumed the A would fit. B would be HUGE on the bottom. Sending it back. This thing is so incredibly tight there is no way that is healthy. Back to plan A. which is eating healthy and upping the cardio! Only way to do it!

I didn't like this product, It is too big although based on the size chart I got one size too small, it is not comfortable, and it doesn't hold your stomach in at all. This isn't the first Spanx that I have purchased and I should have known not to purchase another. I wouldn't encourage others to purchase this product!
