Customer Reviews Spanx Spanx Power Shorts Body Shaper For

There are so many choices in shape wear that I was almost overwhelmed. I was looking for something to smooth out the stomach and hip area. I ended up trying 3 different options: the Commando Butter Control Shorts, Spanx Power Shorts, and Spanx Power Concealer Her. The Commando had a nice feel, but ultimately they did not deliver the control/shape I needed. Perhaps they would work for someone who only needs a little help. The Power Shorts were the most compressing -- ended up being too much. Power Concealer hit the sweet spot.

I was looking for shaping shorts to wear under a dress for a wedding. The feature most important to me was a non-rolling waistband. After reading reviews, I chose the Power Shorts by Spanx. They were fairly comfortable, but I still had trouble with the waistband rolling. It wasn't horrible, just a little bit of roll, but it was enough to make it slightly noticeable through my sheath dress.

These would not stay up at all. They roll down, so you constantly have to adjust them. The compression is nice, material is thin and breathable, and the color is perfect. However, I can’t wear them because there is nothing that keeps them from rolling down. They would have been perfect.

this power short did not show under my short skirt, which was plus. however, even with the cotton crotch, i was uncomfortable. they held me in like i wanted but can only wear them for 3-5 hours.

Really great. Make sure you order correct size or rolling may occur. Good length too.

Great under summer dresses! They stay put, don’t roll or bind. Suck you in but comfy enough to wear for hours.

This was suggested to me by my massage therapist. I have a bad hip awaitong replacement. The pressure from the Spank provides a decent amount of relief, and I was pleased that it was quite comfortable. Not the usual reason for shapewear, but hope this helps someone else!

I was so optimistic about this item being exactly what I need, but to my disappointment they 100% roll down. I bought these instead of the higher power shorts because they hit exactly where I need them to. But just sitting down, it immediately rolled down from the waist band. Whomp whomp. No way I can return an undergarment like this. I don’t think adding the silicone band inside the band would even help. Huge let down.

I was hesitant to get these because the price is so much lower than the rest of the spanx line, but I’m so glad I did. They are thinner than the spanx I’m used to, which makes them much more comfortable for all day wear. I mostly use spanx to keep my blouse tucked into suit skirts, and need the legs to keep my thighs from doing the chub rub. I can breathe in these, but just feel like my tummy is a bit more contained. Very impressed.

Constabtly3rolling down. Does not stay in place at all. Worthless.

The fit was fine, the fabric was soft and comfortable, but the waistband kept rolling down.

Grabs and hold!

Perfect under short dresses, or worn as bike shorts.

nice spank. fits well some rolling but I m ok with that

Fits like a dream! Comfortable and smooths out those extra bulges! Now I know what all my friends have been raving about.

runs true to size. great fit.

These are great for compression garments! I wanted something to smooth things out under dress pants. I wore them all day without issue. Easy to get on and off for toileting.

Suck you in and felts comfortable.

True to size

They roll down at the top, but they will work. Not super heavy material, more breathable material.

Per the size charts, I fit well within their guidelines for a size L. In reality, the garment wasn’t even big enough to put one of my legs into! I had been counting on this to help me look my best at a formal winemaker’s dinner served in the Barrel Room of Domaine Drouhin (Oregon) & was a milestone share birthday gift to my husband & myself for our shared milestone birthdays. Sadly I didn’t have time to exchange. I am not sure I would’ve liked a garment in a much bigger size regardless. So I chalked it up to a bad buy.

Nice fit with the exception of the top, which rolls over.

I ordered a medium and was sent an XLG. The package on front says XLG and on the back white sticker says MD. They product inside is actually an XLG. Please return. I have a small from years ago and it fit great! Just need the right size now, a medium. :)

Uncomfortable, rolled down at waist

I was pleased with the amount of compression. The thigh area is extra thick. The deal breaker on these was the weird double seams inside the thigh area.
