BaliWomen’s Shapewear Ultra Firm Control High Waist Thigh Slimmer Cool Comfort Fajas DF8097

I have tried many, many, many shapers, and for one reason or another, they are all flawed. I have bought different brands and price ranges in search of the right one. Here are my thoughts about this one. This Bali shaper is smooth, comfortable, sturdy. It hasn't moved, ridden up, rolled down at all. I am amazed! My 13 year old son asked me if I lost weight! It fits beautifully. Now, my size and shape: I am a pear, consistently a size 16W, and I weigh around 230 lbs.I ordered an XL. It fits great. Now having said that, I did try two other Bali shapers, one was a little more expensive than this one, same size, and I just didn't want to fight with it to get it on. It was really tight everywhere. I got it half way up and quit. I am returning tomorrow. Another Bali shaper I bought last year is smooth and comfortable, but it doesn't hold me in place, and I realized that it is a size bigger-a 2X same shaper, but a size too large. I guess what I'm saying is that you need to find the right one for you, and your body type. That's why I gave my personal info. This one works for me, I am ordering two more. It holds me in place comfortably, smooths out my lumps and bumps, and I can breathe and move in it. Hope this helps.

I am not a shaper girl. AT ALL. I find them to be uncomfortable, pinching, binding, and just all around...yucky. I have never understood how women wear shaperwear on a daily basis - especially laying shapewear. I've always thought those women were CRAZY.I recently had stomach and upper thigh surgery and had to wear a medical garment for a few days, then strong shapewear for a few weeks post-op. Since I don't ever wear shapewear, I didn't really know what to order. I wanted something that was strong and held me in, but wasn't really uncomfortable. Was it possible to find such shapewear? I didn't know - so I ordered several different items from a few different companies. I wasn't sure what to expect, but anxiously awaited the arrival of the shapewear.This one arrived quickly. Out of the maybe six different pieces I ordered, this is my third favorite. (My absolute favorite? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVOO5RA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00) I have worn these layered over my favorite shapewear, because I feel neither holds me in to the level I require at this point. (This will change once I recover from surgery - I feel either of these will be sufficient.) This one doesn't bind, pinch, or hurt anywhere. It does provide shaping, but nothing super or amazing. After spending some time actually wearing this piece, I would definitely recommend it - it isn't anywhere near as horrid as the ones in the past that I couldn't stand. I also see major changes in how I fit under my clothes - everything just looks so much better! And I'm not only talking about dresses and skirts - I have also worn these under t-shirts and long shorts, and EVERYTHING looks better. Gone are the bulges and lumps. My t-shirts no longer kind of show my stomach - there is no stomach to be seen! I look much better and, if it makes sense, fluid. I can get into pants that are a full TWO sizes smaller than what I normally wear. (I know - I was shocked, too!) And I'm not hanging over the smaller size - they actually fit. I truly recommend this. It's comfortable and I feel sexy wearing it.This Bali's Women's Shapewear Cool Comfort Hi-Waist Thigh Slimmer is surprisingly comfortable. I am happy to report that I have not one single issue with the top rolling down, or the legs rolling up. There is a band of stitching that goes around the legs, which helps to keep them where they belong on your legs. I also don't have any issues with skin? fat? cellulite? whatever springing from the bottom of the legs. Few things are more attractive than your skin (or whatever it is) plopping out from the edges of your shapewear. It's almost like your body hates the shapewear so much, it's trying to escape!One quick thing I learned throughout this process (remember, I knew NOTHING about shapewear when I started my hunt): It is better to get a size larger, than a size smaller. Shapewear experts and occasional wearers alike told me the same thing. I previously thought a smaller size would make you even smaller - WRONG! If you are questioning your size, get the larger one. It will fit better, it will look better, and you'll be much happier.Something I've kind of learned throughout this process: Yes, they are hard to get on. If you are struggling and pulling, that's ok. If you are sweating, pushing, poking, shoving, and out of breath by the time they are on, you have a size that is probably too small. At least in this style. (I guess boned garments may be a little different.) If your body is "plumping" out/over the shaper, it's most likely too small. It should be some work to get this on - it's a shaper that is supposed to fit like a second skin, after all. However, I learned that the struggle shouldn't be extreme. Just a little piece of information I wanted to include for those who know nothing about this stuff, which is how I was at the beginning of my search.Bottom Line: LOVE IT! Out of the five (or so) shapers I bought - all the same style with the shorts built in, this is my third favorite. I purchased about five styles from different companies here on Amazon, then another one from the very popular shapewear company that starts with an "S" and rhymes with "banks". (And was at least twice as expensive as the shapers I purchased here.) Including that pair in my observations as well, this STILL ranks as my third favorite pair. My first two faves are from Maidenform, but this is the best Bali shaper I've worn. It goes all the way up to my bra, eliminating any sort of muffin top. Due to the bottom of the shaper being shorts, there are no panty lines, either. I give this garment a strong B, maybe B+. If you don't like feeling like a stuffed sausage, but need mid-torso coverage, this may well be the shaper for you!

I just received these and so far so good. I ordered a 2XL. It was between this or the XL, so I decided to be cautious and get the 2XL. I got these to wear under a dress for an event that's in a couple days so if they were too small I wouldn't have time to exchange them. After trying these on, I probably could have done the XL. They feel well made and they do help smooth things out more than I thought they would. I was afraid I was going to have my thighs busting out of the bottoms like a bad can of biscuits but the thighs are fine. The top is snug and doesn't roll down...so far. They're surprisingly comfortable, I feel like I could lounge around in these. For others considering the 2XL or XL, my height and weight are 5'6" and approximately 203-207 pounds, if that helps.

So I bought this shapewear for a night out . The fit was nice and the compression was great, however the thighs do not have a grip strip so even sitting during a show in vegas resulted in the dreaded thigh roll. Look for something else if you need a seamless look and don't want to adjust all night long

I was a bit skeptical about ordering these based on some of the reviews I read; however, I took a chance and I was very pleased with my choice. I wear size 10 or some 12s depending on the maker of the dress. Pant size is 8 - 10. I purchased a Large and they fit snug enough not to roll up my thighs and loose enough that it does not pull me in tightly. I like my shapewear to fit like normal underwear and not like a girdle. I just like looking smoothed out in my dresses with no panty lines. These do the trick! By the end of the day, I’m not feeling like a pork sausage popping out of my skin. 🤣 And I’m comfortable throughout the day. They also do not bunch up on the waist or roll over/down the waist. I don’t have to tug on them at all. 🙌🏽 I’ll be purchasing more of these, if they keep them. That’s the hard part; finding the same underwear that you love at a later date. But for now, these are keepers!

I teach school and am constantly moving; I am also scheduled for knee surgery in a week and am hobbling along on a cane. Having said that, I purchased two of these slimmers to 'smooth' out some of my wobbly lines and perhaps provide a little support to my back as I crab around the room. I purchased one each in black and beige; they are worth every penny. I put mine on at 6 am the other day and took it off at 7 pm (LONG teacher day). I was never uncomfortable. I read the reviews before I purchased, and the fact that other buyers said the legs do not roll up was a key factor. I agree with that. It is comfortable and cool. It's foundational and requires a small amount of effort to put on, but not enough to break a sweat. I will buy this brand again as the need arises.

Sizing is not good. Order up!

she say fits well
