I am very disapointed that this shaper underwear had runs in it after the first wearing. (Believe me, I was wearing the correct size too, maybe a smidge too big!). Also, they don't give a tremendous amount of shaping/holding in of the tummy, etc. They are comfortable and they didn't "roll" on the top or bottom when I wore them. They're great under skirts and dresses for the summer (no chafing!), but @ this price, I was expecting and hoping for a much better product.

When I first wore this item I was impressed with the amount of comfort I felt while wearing it. However, at the day's end, I realized that the seat of this undergarmet was ripped and ruins formed in the leg...after the first wearing. The leg also rolls occassionally and is a little disturbing. I was careful to pick the correct size so I was really disappointed when this item did not last at least one more wear before breaking down. I am thinking of writing the company. I feel a little cheated.

I was very careful to order the correct size. I put these on and you have to be very careful with the leg, as the ends tend to roll up. Even after smoothing the legs down they were still a tiny bit detectable under jeans. The waist band kept rolling down. I had read a review online somewhere where a woman stated not to waste your time with these types of body shapers and that the best way to go is a one piece. I understand her reasoning now. The constant rolling down of the waist band drove me nuts. I haven't worn this since.

Completely worth it! I also have the Body Shaper style, which is a little more supportive and i love them both.

These are excellent undergarmets for white clothes, and also for skirts work during the summer, as they prevent legs from rubbing together in the heat. The nudes are practically invisible under normal white pants. Be careful choosing the waist-height, however, as they might roll down from the top, expecially with pants. Take good care of them and wash them gently and they will last a while. Eventual runs and tears do not render them unwearable. A good, less expensive alternative to [name brands].

I don't know how I lived without these for so long! This is a much more affordable line that gives you the slim, smooth look you need under any outfit.

These do the job, but I prefer the Assets Sensational Shaper because it goes up further on my body. It seems to cut off right at my belly button and that is just annoying. They are just not for me.

Great to smooth out cellulite and imperfections and forms body to make it look desirable, good to wear only once, tear up on first use or when you open your legs a bit.

Well, [another brand] they ain't, but almost as good. I wore these after giving birth to my daughter and they kept everything in place. There was some rolling, which you wouldn't get for the higher priced version, but for the price, they are quite good.

I absolutely LOVE this product! I own several pairs and wear them all the time under skirts. They are fantastic when you don't want to get sweaty or chafed or don't feel like wearing hose. They are light enough and breathable to wear even in hot weather.

In regards to the quality of the garment, I have no complaints. They are obviously not as well constructed as the more expensive brands. However, when I tried Sara Blakely's other line, I followed the size guide, tried 3 different sizes, and even the largest size made me look like an over-stuffed sausage. This garment, while it probably won't last as long, creates no lines on my legs or my waist.
