Customer Reviews Spanx Active Shaping Compression Close-Fit Pant

I purchased these pants to wear as a more stylish compression therapy/recovery pant post-workout. I wear between an 8 & 10 in regular clothes with an athletic build and am pleased with a medium in these, at least for my purposes. I'm probably between a medium and large in these, but wanted the compression (even if that means a slightly sheer behind). If you are sized like me and wanted to be able to wear these more casually and/or bend/stretch/squat in these without clearly visible panty lines, maybe best to size up. The pants are plenty long, bunching up around my ankles (at 5'4) but not in a bad way. Material is smooth and slick, seaming is generally flattering.

Buying these felt like a huge splurge. Now that I've worn them several times for my aerobics class, I can honestly say they are totally worth it. My figure is not the best, so I've self-conscious when working out. Although it doesn't do miracles, the fabric holds you in tight and reduces the jiggling. Love the support around my tummy, too. The fabric washes wonderfully. My advice: buy them!

I love these! They hold everything in. I'm 5'3" and 135 lbs...the medium fit okay, but I went with a large because they were a little more comfortable (and easier to get in and out of) for everyday wear. The fabric is thick, doesn't collect lint or animal hair, and I wore them for three days in a row without them losing their shape.

These pants have very strong compression. I'm 5'3" so the waist went all the way up to my sports bra. The best part of these vs other compression pants is that these completely and comfortably stop any tummy jiggle (I felt much more comfortable doing jumping jacks) and I think will be effective in reducing leg soreness after runs. However, the material was thicker than I expected, so I decided the short length would be better for me. I'd say these felt too warm for workouts in the gym, and I thought they would be too hot for outdoor runs in spring/summer.

Love these leggings! When I first felt them, I didn't think they would shape me as much as the material is so lightweight but Wow! They really do make my tummy tighter and legs skinnier, love!

I really like these, they give you a nice shape. And they keep you warm. The only draw back is the cost, but so far they've been worth it.

These pants fit great and we're exactly what I was looking for in terms of shaping, but unfortunately are see-through. I almost considered keeping them because of how comfortable and shapely they were, but not having the option of being able to wear them with nothing over them feels limiting. I will look for something else that has a similar fit, but that is not see through in the bum area.

So comfortable - just the right amount of support/compression.

WOW, really was not sure if I wanted to spend this much, but all I can say, is these are so comfortable, i dont want to take them off. They do really well during an intense workout. THe waist never rolls down. The are snug, but not too tight. I did buy the large, so they may be a tad big, but you cant tell, and they do a great job. NOw I want a pair of shorts just like them.

These are my go to every day leggings. They can be dressed up or down. Comfortable and flattering. The "line designs" are also extra flattering. The fabircation is "jogging"material, but they also look good with sanadals or heels and a pretty "over top" or tunic. I got two pair so I always have one on hand that's clean and ready to go! I am 5'5", 118 to 120 pounds. Small fits perfectly.

Great fit. I think they would be flattering on anyone. I am 5'5", 140lbs and a medium fits perfectly, not too tight and easy to get on.

Leggings are great not super tight but give enough compression to smooth n keep it all in place. Hold up great in wash have had for years and still look new! I weigh 118lbs 5'4 wear a small for reference. Would recommend I own 5 pairs

First item that I felt deserved a review. These pants are like magic!! I am 5'10" 180 with an athletic build. They are tight in all the right spots. The evidence that I have 5 kids is no where in sight. They could only be improved with a no roll waist band. No regrets kind of purchase.

I love these Spanx!! They keep everything in place and best of all they hold their shape. I wear them for working out, dress them up and live in them when I travel!

These pants are worth every penny - you definitely get what you pay for. They are very soft, comfortable, and form fitting but certainly not unduly tight. They provide full coverage (do not become opaque when stretched). I also love that these do not have a center seam (very rare) which can be a nuisance and uncomfortable. I will be purchasing more from this line in the future.

These pants are tight and hard to get on but they fit well. I would have liked a heavier material and less shine.

I love these leggings, I've worn them to the gym without getting too hot and to work with a long t-shirt or sweater. The seams along the side and the thick waist band are very slimming. I have a little extra weight around my hip bones and this smooths that area out giving a slim silhouette. For reference I'm 5'5" with a 29" waist and 42" hips - I ordered a Large. They are the tiniest bit see through if you bend over in bright lighting so I wouldn't recommend wearing this with white or bright colored underwear.

These are crazy expensive BUT worth it! If you are a curvy girl and you do yoga or strength training you need these. Dare I say.....they are more flattering than Lululemon for the same price. I am 50 and I am 5' 3" and weigh 136 lbs. I ordered a medium and fit like a glove. These provide just enough compression without feeling like traditional spanx. If you are a skinny girl you probably should save your money because you already look great in anything but if you are older and squishy girl these are for you. You won't be disappointed.

I love these pants, I've stopped wearing my old leggings. Spanx has a thinner, finer, tighter weave but don't look thin or see through and they don't bag at the knees by the end of the day. They are really snug, so my second pair I sized up and prefer the medium to the small. (I'm a 4 in dresses, and a small in leggings from Victoria's secret. In these I like the medium better). Probably because I want them more comfortable and less compression-y. I didn't think I'd ever spend this much on leggings, but I am a convert.

I love these pants. I am bottom heavier, and these make me look so slim in thighs. I wear them with tall boots, I cannot tell that they are active pants, I wear them them to the gym. Pretty much all the money that I spent on any other legging was a waste in the past.

I am so impressed with these leggings by Spanx! I thought I was crazy for shelling out so much for one pair of athletic pants, but these are well worth the money I spent! The "U" seam stitching in the crotch has never given me the dreaded "CT," and is very discrete. I have worn these during MMA grappling/sparring/conditioning activities, and I love their high quality flexibility and comfort stitching. I may be crazy for spending this much, but I am seriously debating getting another pair from this Spanx line. Would highly recommend! I am 5'8" about 150lbs and ordered the size L.
