Customer Reviews Spanx Essential Shaping Legging

Just the best... My most favorite legging of them all. Yes they're expensive but I view this as buying a pair of pants whereas other leggings are more like an accessory purchase from the hosiery department. The material is very high quality, never pills and is the most flattering because it truly smooths everything out. The waist band is what really sets these apart the most. So effective and so comfortable at the same time. No band digging in or hitting at the wrong place, showing under silky tops. A little advice - order your size (never bigger for "comfort" or smaller thinking they'll shape you more effectively). And if you're in between sizes order the smaller of the 2. When you first put them on you may think you can't get into them because the waist band doesn't give much. BUT take you're time, gently pull and stretch the waist just enough to pull them up and you'll be so happy. They fit better and easier after a couple wears. If you get a size too large they may seem like they fit the first time but will soon be too big and you'll be pulling them up your thighs all day.

These are great! These leggings are very structured, soft, and flattering! They smooth everything out. The waistband is SO wonderful, it smooths out my stomach and was a nice touch. These are really worth the price. I'm normally a 2 in jeans, or a 25 waist, and the Small fit me like a glove. The inseam was great, no bunching whatsoever!

I love these leggings but I do wish the control waist band went lower so it would suck in my lower gut, not just upper. Does a nice job of shaping the legs though where you can’t see every dimple and imperfection

I purchased these after reading prior reviews for travel and they lived up to every expectation. I wore them on a flight from Seattle to Beijing and they looked just as good when I arrived as when we left. I washed them twice in our hotel rooms during our stay and they dried overnight to be worn the next day. They are super comfortable and a wonderful material. I can't recommend these enough!

These leggings Rock! Love how they feel and fit!

I love these! All of Spanx fashion leggings are great. They're more like pants & the material is worth the money. Also, my rear always looks its best in these and they are so comfortable. I'm a size 0 whom has given birth and in my forties, these make my body look like it did before that lol! Buy them if you have the money in every color like I have; well worth the money! Also, great for vacation! Just hand wash the night before, hang up to dry and bam the next morning ready for a new top and shoes. Brand new outfit!

SO COMFORTABLE!! The wide waist band is amazing, nothing pinches -- and they stay up! I never had to tug/adjust to get them back up where they belong. I wish I could wear them everyday. So comfortable and flattering

These are really tight at first, but they loosen up a bit. Great look under skirts and dresses.

Love, love, love! The high waist is surprisingly flattering and smoothing. Wore these a long flight to Beijing and still looked cute when I landed!

Great leggings! Holds bulges in where they need holding in.

Based reviews here and elsewhere I was a little worried about what size to order. I am 5'7" and 145 pounds and ordered a large a per size chart on Spanx.com. They fit amazing! They are somewhat structured (which is what makes look so great on) but the waistband does stretch enough to get comfortably over hips. They were thicker than I expected but I think this will bode well for long term wear.

This is the most fantastic legging l 've had.

Shame on you Spanx. Not black...more like charcoal. Weird fit 9loose in the back of the legs). Legs have that sheen :-(

I ordered the correct size per the measurements etc. and I couldn't even get the waistband over my knees!!
