But if it makes you feel more confident or put-together, we’re here to help.</p><p>Finding the right shapewear is notoriously difficult. Suffocating, uncomfortable, and otherwise subpar versions have saddled the whole category with a bad reputation.</p><p>Don’t despair: Corsets and casings are no longer the only options. (We are not Victorians, nor are we sausages.) After thorough testing, we’ve landed on five truly comfortable standouts, vetted by a panel of seven people, ranging in women’s sizes from 0 to 18 and in height from 5-foot-2 to 6 feet. The garments we recommend are not only comfier than you may think, but they’ll suit a variety of bodies, occasions, and budgets.</p><p>Our picks include three shaping shorts: a <a href="#spanxsculpt-oncore-mid-thigh-short">sleek, seamless pair</a> that all of our testers loved, a <a href="#shapermint-essentials-all-day-every-day-shaper-shorts">budget-friendly pair</a> that’s stretchy and soft enough to wear every day, and a <a href="#honeylove-superpower-short">structured pair</a> that provides targeted sculpting. We also have two bodysuit picks: a <a href="#honeylove-cami-bodysuit">bodysuit</a> that delivers effective shaping, but without the usual discomfort, and an <a href="#shapermint-essentials-all-day-every-day-scoop-neck-bodysuit">even comfier, less-compressive one</a>, if you want lighter, gentler smoothing.</p></section><section class="fbf8e677"

firm waistband that doesn’t roll down, and they also have seamless, whisper-thin legs that don’t ride up. And they don’t rely on silicone strips to grip onto skin, so they don’t itch, pinch, or collect sweat.</p><p>The majority of our testers found the OnCore shorts relatively easy to pull on and off (a rare quality in shapewear). Still, I was thankful for the double-gusseted design—the crotch has an open flap, for easier bathroom runs.</p><p><strong>You can choose between a high-waisted version or a <em>really </em>high-waisted version. </strong>The higher-waisted version (XS to 3X, in regular and petite sizes) extends up to your bra band, while the mid-waisted version (XS to XL) hits a couple of inches above the belly button. (Only the high-waisted pair comes in petite sizes.) You may prefer the mid-rise pair if you have a short torso, or if you don’t want shaping around your upper abdomen and back.</p><p><strong>The shorts disappear beneath clothing. </strong>The OnCore shorts have seamless edges that lie flat, so they’re practically invisible, even under a bodycon dress. These shorts are simply the most versatile of our picks. “The transitions from where the shapewear ends to where my body begins are very smooth,” marveled a panelist (5-foot-6, size L).</p><p>Testers of all heights loved the upper- to mid-thigh length of the shorts—they’re a touch shorter than other “mid-thigh” styles we tried, but they still prevent chafing. “I can wear them with shorter skirts without fear of the shorts peeking out,” commented one panelist (6 feet, size M).</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

These shorts gently smooth the midsection, without noticeably altering your silhouette. They’re so comfy that, as the name promises, you really could wear them every day.</p><p><strong>They offer gentle smoothing versus true shaping. </strong>The All Day Every Day shorts are the least compressive of our picks. (Shapermint describes the high-waisted shorts as having a “high” level of compression and the medium-waisted shorts as having a “medium” level of compression; we disagree.)</p><p>“The strip across the lower stomach and top of the hips is effective, but it’s not constricting,” said one panelist (5-foot-6, size XL/2XL). For others, the effect was a bit too subtle. “I like the airier feel,” said another tester (6 feet, size XS/S). “But frankly, they’re not doing much.”</p><p>The high-waisted version extends up to your bra band, while the mid-waisted version sits just above the belly button. The fabric on the butt and thighs is non-compressive; it provides chafe-protection and some lift.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article

comfort (an average of 4.3 out of 5). One panelist even compared them to wearing pajamas.</p><p>These shorts are made from a plush-yet-breathable blend of nylon and spandex. Of the 14 shaping shorts I tested, these were among the stretchiest and easiest to maneuver. They run big—and are remarkably elastic—so we recommend getting one size down.</p><p>Unlike our other shorts picks, the All Day Every Day shorts don’t have an easy-access crotch flap. But their stretchiness ensures that you won’t wind up in a wrestling match when nature calls.</p><p>One (literal) sticking point: The All Day Every Day shorts stay put with a combination of thin silicone strips and 2-inch-long flexible boning at the waistband. Some testers found those features unobtrusive, but others noticed them digging in by day’s end.</p><p><strong>They’re ideal for casual, everyday wear. </strong>The All Day Every Day shorts won’t be much help if you’re trying to shimmy into a snug ensemble—but they will comfortably support loose skin or help a flowy fabric drape more smoothly.</p><p>They aren’t as incognito as our <a href="#spanxsculpt-oncore-mid-thigh-short">Spanx OnCore pick</a>, either. The tabs around the waistband could be visible beneath clingier fabrics. And the legs—1.5 inches longer than those on our Spanx pick—won’t disappear under higher hemlines.</p><div class="ce43b2db fa61999a" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

inseam. The material around the waist and stomach is thicker and more compressive, and there are no flexible stays at the waistband. The boyshorts didn’t roll down on our testers, but one panelist (5-foot-6, size L) complained that the legs rode up.</p><p><strong>The price is right. </strong>Costing under $50 (and often less, since they’re frequently on sale), the All Day Every Day shorts are the least expensive shaping shorts we recommend, so they’re a great option for those who are shapewear-curious (but wary of dropping $100).</p><p>Shapermint recommends machine-washing this pair on cold and tumble-drying on low. And after putting my pair through several laundry cycles, I noticed a couple of loose threads. But their overall performance remains the same. However, since the fabric is so stretchy, we suspect that this pair will begin to lose its compressiveness and stretch out more quickly than our other shorts picks.</p><h4>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h4><ul><li>The compression was too light for some testers.</li><li>The silicone strips and flexible boning at the waist could be uncomfortable.</li><li>Since they’re thin and stretchy, these shorts may not have a long lifespan.

These structured shorts nip the waist, suck in the tummy and inner thighs, and boost the derrière. Yes, boning is involved, but most of our testers reported that they felt contained rather than constricted.</p><p><strong>They’re engineered to create an hourglass shape. </strong>As one panelist put it, “These sure are shapewear-ish.”</p><p>On each side of the SuperPower Short, long strips of flexible boning provide structure. Two smaller pieces of boning extend down the back of the garment for added support.</p><p>Powerful bands of compression criss-cross the midsection, defining the waistline, flattening the tummy, and smoothing the back. The inner- and back-thigh areas also provide firm compression (and booty-lifting). Non-compressive mesh at the front of the thighs and just under the butt (on the mid-thigh version only) offer a breath of fresh air.</p><p><strong>You can choose between two inseam lengths. </strong>Most of our testers chose these shorts in the mid-thigh version, with a 7-inch inseam. These shorts are about the same length as our <a href="#shapermint-essentials-all-day-every-day-shaper-shorts">Shapermint All Day Every Day</a> pick, and they’re approximately 1.5 inches longer than our Spanx OnCore pick.</p><p>Two panelists tested the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66864/210734/4/204865/?merchant=Nordstrom" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Nordstrom" data-pick-type-id="10" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66864/210734/4/204865/?merchant=Nordstrom" data-vars-store="Nordstrom" data-gtm-context="chapter_shaping-shorts" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Nordstrom" data-pid="66864" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66864/210734/4/204865/?merchant=Nordstrom">girl-short</a> version, which measures about 2 inches shorter in the legs, and they gave the length a thumbs-up: “I can wear them under shorter skirts, but they still cover enough to keep my thighs from rubbing,” said one tester (5-foot-3, size 2X).

spandex. These shorts feel notably more substantial than our other picks; they’re also the only shorts that are fully lined. This pair wouldn’t be our first shapewear choice on a hot, humid day.</p><p><strong>Some of our testers found them comfy, but others did not. </strong>The testers gave the SuperPower Short mixed reviews on comfort—not surprising, considering this is our most-engineered pick. These shorts scored a couple of fours and fives, but also some dismal twos.</p><p>Honeylove suggests sizing up if you have proportionally larger hips or thighs; we actually think you’re better off ordering your regular size for firm compression. (Two panelists sized up based on Honeylove’s guidance and wished they hadn’t.)</p><p>Since they’re structured, these shorts are relatively easy to put on and take off. (If you do have trouble, they come with a set of straps that hook onto the waistband for hoisting them into place.) And we were grateful for their double gusset—the open flap at the crotch—which allows for easier bathroom trips.</p><p><strong>The boning is … polarizing. </strong>Our panelists used words like “old-fashioned” and “over-designed” to describe the boning in these shorts. “It’s like there are two rulers stuck down my sides,” said one tester.</p><p>Personally, I wasn’t bothered by the boning—it’s positioned skillfully enough that I could (almost) forget it was there. And it’s highly effective at keeping the waistband from rolling down. Silicone grips along the backside of the waistband make doubly sure they stay put.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99" data-gtm-element="gallery-main" data-testid="gallery"><div class="d1ee6a2a"><aside class="dfb4f088"><div aria-label="Go to Slide 1" tabindex="-1" class="fc4db63f fd22436a " style="-webkit-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);-moz-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);-ms-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);-o-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0)" role="button" data-testid="gallery-slide-1"><div data-scp="gallery_main"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5" style="padding-bottom:50.00%;display:inline"><img loading="lazy" alt="A pair of the black and beige Honeylove SuperPower Shorts (pictured inside out, front view) on display in front of a green background." itemProp="image" data-testid="gallery-image" src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/11/shapewear-2048px-9522.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="1024" height="512" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce"/></div><div aria-hidden="true" data-scp="image_caption" data-testid="image-caption">The SuperPower Shorts (pictured inside out, front view) have strong bands of compression across the midsection.

Under each armpit, 4-inch vertical strips of flexible boning add structure to the boob-lifting operation without too much bother.</p><p><strong>The built-in bra is surprisingly good.</strong> Most bodysuits let us down in the bra department—compressing boobs or providing inadequate lift. Not the Cami Bodysuit: It has supportive, cradling cups and removable foam pads. “It’s a close swap for the real bras that I like,” said one panelist, who normally wears a size 38D.</p><div

front. But the Cami Bodysuit earned an impressive 4 out of 5 average. “After a couple hours of getting beat up by other bodysuits, this one is like heaven,” gushed one tester (5-foot-6, size L).</p><p>The Cami Bodysuit’s fabric is a smooth, stretchy nylon-spandex blend that moves flexibly with your body and hugs without pinching. Unlike some other bodysuits (looking at you, <a href="#other-shapewear-worth-considering">Skims Seamless Sculpt</a>), this one isn’t a chore to put on and take off, and it glides easily over curves.</p><p><strong>It’s highly adjustable.</strong> The Cami Bodysuit fit testers ranging from 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-9, in sizes S to 2X, equally well, which is no small feat. The bra straps can be lengthened by about 7 inches, and the gusset (crotch) features three rows of hooks, affording another 2 inches of toggling. Our 6-foot panelist was the only one who struck out; the size medium was about 3 inches too short for her.</p><p>One drawback to the adjustable gusset: It’s hard to operate. “I could not for the life of me get the middle hook clasped after I peed!” lamented one tester. (It’s easier to keep it closed and slide it to one side.)</p><p><strong>It’s a multi-tasking base layer. </strong>Since it’s effective yet comfy, the Cami Bodysuit works equally well for the office, Saturday night, or a special event.</p><p>The full-coverage brief bottoms have sleek, bonded seams that don’t create telltale panty lines, so this bodysuit can be worn under close-fitting cuts. And the deep-V decolleté and scooped back are low enough to play nice with many necklines. The bra straps are fairly wide-set, though, and so they might peek out under some tops.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

(None of our testers selected this model.)</p><p><strong>It’s worth the money. </strong>The Cami Bodysuit is the most expensive pick in this guide. Still, given its unusually good fit and overall quality, it delivers value—especially since it’s more supportive, adjustable, and smoothing than <a href="#competition-shaping-bodysuits">bodysuits costing twice as much</a>.</p><p>Honeylove recommends hand-washing this bodysuit in cold water and laying it flat to dry. I’ve machine-washed mine on warm in a garment bag and air-dried it, and it’s holding up beautifully. Bonded edges (like those around its leg openings) can come apart over time (especially if they’re exposed to high heat), but we haven’t noticed any degradation so far.</p><h4>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h4><ul><li>This bodysuit uses flexible boning, which some people may find uncomfortable.</li><li>The hook closure at the gusset (crotch) is difficult to fasten.</li><li>Its wide-set straps will be visible with some tops (such as a racerback).</li></ul><figure id="attachment_427977" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy"

Between the two, the bodysuit is ever-so-slightly more compressive.</p><p><strong>It’s more smoothing than supportive. </strong>The Scoop Neck Bodysuit is a light, stretchy embrace for your midsection. From bra band to hip, the nylon/spandex garment subtly smooths the tummy, while two oblong side panels target the waist with a bit more oomph. Its brief-style bottom is made from non-compressive fabric, so it won’t flatten your butt.

Several panelists wore it on its own as a cami, with jeans or shorts. (Note: The adjustable, bra-like straps are a signal that it’s not quite a regular tank.)</p><p>The scooped neck is less plunging in front and much higher-cut in the back than our Honeylove Cami Bodysuit pick, making it visible beneath more silhouettes. Its edges aren’t seamless, either—and while it’s available in lots of solid colors, it doesn’t come in any convincing nudes.</p><p><strong>It’s refreshingly affordable. </strong>The Scoop Neck Bodysuit is one of the least expensive bodysuits we tried. And it’s nearly always on sale.</p><p>It doesn’t feel as “premium” as our pricier Honeylove bodysuit pick, and we suspect that its extra-stretchy fabric will wear out more quickly.

We did not consider shaping underwear, slips, corsets, or waist trainers.</p><p>I began by crowdsourcing ideas from friends and colleagues, poring over reviews, and speaking with representatives from major shapewear brands. That research yielded a spreadsheet of 60 garments; I chose 33 to test in person. (I am 5-foot-6 and typically wear bra size 34D and clothing size 6/medium.)</p><p>I examined the garments carefully, checking for flaws in their construction, materials, and functionality. I laundered and wore each piece for at least one full day (and some many times over).</p><p>After that initial round, I zeroed in on the 12 most promising contenders—seven shorts models and five bodysuits—for testing by a panel of seven female testers. Our panelists ranged in height from 5-foot-2 to 6 feet, in bra sizes from 34A to 44G, and in women’s clothing sizes from 0/XS to 18/2X.</p><p>Where applicable, panelists were encouraged to select their preferred silhouette (for example: high-waisted vs. mid-waisted shorts, thong vs. brief-style bodysuits). Testers wore each piece for at least a day, and they completed detailed questionnaires.</p><p>The garments were evaluated based on the following criteria:</p><ul><li><strong>Fit and adjustability: </strong>We sought shapewear with inclusive sizing and fit. Case in point: Two of our shorts picks come in mid- and high-waisted versions. With bodysuits, length matters, so we looked for those with maximum adjustability.</li><li><strong>Comfort: </strong>Good shapewear allows you to move (and breathe!) freely. We prioritized breathable, comfy fabrics and styles that were relatively easy to put on and take off; that stayed put without rolling down, digging in, or creeping up; and that allowed for low-stress bathroom trips.</li><li><strong>Compression: </strong>We considered garments with varying levels of compression—from low (gentle smoothing) to high (noticeable contouring)—and we judged them within their respective categories.</li><li><strong>Quality and construction: </strong>We looked for sturdily made, high-quality garments that would continue to perform—wear after wear, wash after wash.</li><li><strong>Price: </strong>We tested shaping shorts ranging from $20 to $130 and bodysuits ranging from $30 to a whopping $205. (Bodysuits are typically more expensive, since there’s more to them.) We discovered that price is sometimes—but not always—correlated with quality and performance.</li></ul></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="other-shapewear-worth-considering"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="other-shapewear-worth-considering-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Other shapewear worth considering" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="6">Other shapewear worth considering</h2><div id="other-shapewear-worth-considering-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="other-shapewear-worth-considering" aria-hidden="false"><h3>Shaping shorts</h3><p><strong>If you want well-priced, lightly shaping shorts with mesh legs: </strong>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66872/210486/4/204872/?merchant=Shapermint" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Shapermint" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66872/210486/4/204872/?merchant=Shapermint" data-vars-store="Shapermint" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-shapewear-worth-considering" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Shapermint" data-pid="66872" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66872/210486/4/204872/?merchant=Shapermint">Shapermint Essentials Everyday Empower Mesh Shaper Shorts</a> (S to 4XL) are mid-waisted, with legs made from an exceptionally breathable mesh that prevents thigh chafing.

(We heartily recommend sizing up.) Some testers found it surprisingly comfortable—I fell asleep wearing the brief version more than once. For others, it was “torture.” Despite adjustable bra straps, the Seamless SculptBodysuit was far too short for testers over 5-foot-7.

Not exactly breaking news. What is remarkable is that our testers were nearly unanimous in choosing the Spanxsculpt OnCore Mid-Thigh Short—available in high-waisted and mid-waisted versions—as their favorite. These sleek, seamless shorts offer firm-yet-flexible tummy and waist control and gentle thigh smoothing—with a comfortable fit that doesn’t pinch, squeeze, or leave you breathless. “If you’re only going to own one piece of shapewear, make it this,” one tester concluded. These shorts delivered our favorite balance of compression and comfort. “I feel shaped but can actually forget I’m wearing them,” raved one panelist (5-foot-9, size M). “It’s a miracle!” The OnCore shorts’ hold level is a happy medium between the light embrace of our Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day High-Waisted Shaper Shorts pick and the structured control of our Honeylove SuperPower Short pick. Most of the compression targets the midsection: There’s a tummy-flattening panel on the front of the garment, while two side panels sculpt the waist and hips. Around the thighs, the OnCore shorts use a lighter touch—it’s just enough to smooth lumps and bumps. The fabric covering the butt cheeks has no compression (goodbye, pancaking). They’re lightweight yet substantial. Made from a silky, comfy blend of nylon and elastane, these shorts have a smooth, firm waistband that doesn’t roll down, and they also have seamless, whisper-thin legs that don’t ride up. And they don’t rely on silicone strips to grip onto skin, so they don’t itch, pinch, or collect sweat. The majority of our testers found the OnCore shorts relatively easy to pull on and off (a rare quality in shapewear). Still, I was thankful for the double-gusseted design—the crotch has an open flap, for easier bathroom runs. You can choose between a high-waisted version or a really high-waisted version. The higher-waisted version (XS to 3X, in regular and petite sizes) extends up to your bra band, while the mid-waisted version (XS to XL) hits a couple of inches above the belly button. (Only the high-waisted pair comes in petite sizes.) You may prefer the mid-rise pair if you have a short torso, or if you don’t want shaping around your upper abdomen and back. The shorts disappear beneath clothing. The OnCore shorts have seamless edges that lie flat, so they’re practically invisible, even under a bodycon dress. These shorts are simply the most versatile of our picks. “The transitions from where the shapewear ends to where my body begins are very smooth,” marveled a panelist (5-foot-6, size L). Testers of all heights loved the upper- to mid-thigh length of the shorts—they’re a touch shorter than other “mid-thigh” styles we tried, but they still prevent chafing. “I can wear them with shorter skirts without fear of the shorts peeking out,” commented one panelist (6 feet, size M). They’re a solid investment. Although the OnCore shorts aren’t cheap, they are priced competitively. They’re incredibly good at what they do and constructed for staying power. After multiple launderings—Spanx recommends machine-washing on cold and laying flat to dry—my test pair continues to deliver excellent fit and performance. Flaws but not dealbreakers \tTwo panelists complained that these shorts were hard to pull on—though they weren’t half as difficult as some of the others we tried. Specs \tSizes: XS to 3X (high-waisted version); XS to XL (mid-waisted version); Petite XS to 3X (high-waisted version only) \tSizing notes: true to size \tMaterial: 80% nylon, 20% elastane \tColors: four (black and three skin tones) \tStyle variants: high-waisted short, mid-waisted short Ultra-comfy, less expensive shorts for light smoothing: Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day Shaper Shorts When you think of shapewear, phrases like “velvety-soft” and “easy to turn cartwheels in” don’t typically spring to mind. And yet these are fitting descriptors of the Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day Shaper Shorts, which come in high-waisted and mid-waisted versions. These shorts gently smooth the midsection, without noticeably altering your silhouette. They’re so comfy that, as the name promises, you really could wear them every day. They offer gentle smoothing versus true shaping. The All Day Every Day shorts are the least compressive of our picks. (Shapermint describes the high-waisted shorts as having a “high” level of compression and the medium-waisted shorts as having a “medium” level of compression; we disagree.) “The strip across the lower stomach and top of the hips is effective, but it’s not constricting,” said one panelist (5-foot-6, size XL/2XL). For others, the effect was a bit too subtle. “I like the airier feel,” said another tester (6 feet, size XS/S). “But frankly, they’re not doing much.” The high-waisted version extends up to your bra band, while the mid-waisted version sits just above the belly button. The fabric on the butt and thighs is non-compressive; it provides chafe-protection and some lift. They’re deliciously soft and stretchy. Our testers gave the All Day Every Day shorts the highest overall score for comfort (an average of 4.3 out of 5). One panelist even compared them to wearing pajamas. These shorts are made from a plush-yet-breathable blend of nylon and spandex. Of the 14 shaping shorts I tested, these were among the stretchiest and easiest to maneuver. They run big—and are remarkably elastic—so we recommend getting one size down. Unlike our other shorts picks, the All Day Every Day shorts don’t have an easy-access crotch flap. But their stretchiness ensures that you won’t wind up in a wrestling match when nature calls. One (literal) sticking point: The All Day Every Day shorts stay put with a combination of thin silicone strips and 2-inch-long flexible boning at the waistband. Some testers found those features unobtrusive, but others noticed them digging in by day’s end. They’re ideal for casual, everyday wear. The All Day Every Day shorts won’t be much help if you’re trying to shimmy into a snug ensemble—but they will comfortably support loose skin or help a flowy fabric drape more smoothly. They aren’t as incognito as our Spanx OnCore pick, either. The tabs around the waistband could be visible beneath clingier fabrics. And the legs—1.5 inches longer than those on our Spanx pick—won’t disappear under higher hemlines. They also come in a boyshort, if that’s your bag. Three panelists tested the High-Waisted Shaper Boyshort, a mini-skirt–compatible variant of this pick with a shorter, 4-inch inseam. The material around the waist and stomach is thicker and more compressive, and there are no flexible stays at the waistband. The boyshorts didn’t roll down on our testers, but one panelist (5-foot-6, size L) complained that the legs rode up. The price is right. Costing under $50 (and often less, since they’re frequently on sale), the All Day Every Day shorts are the least expensive shaping shorts we recommend, so they’re a great option for those who are shapewear-curious (but wary of dropping $100). Shapermint recommends machine-washing this pair on cold and tumble-drying on low. And after putting my pair through several laundry cycles, I noticed a couple of loose threads. But their overall performance remains the same. However, since the fabric is so stretchy, we suspect that this pair will begin to lose its compressiveness and stretch out more quickly than our other shorts picks. Flaws but not dealbreakers \tThe compression was too light for some testers. \tThe silicone strips and flexible boning at the waist could be uncomfortable. \tSince they’re thin and stretchy, these shorts may not have a long lifespan. We’ll update this guide over time with our findings. Specs \tSizes: XS to 4XL \tSizing notes: This style runs one size large; we recommend sizing down. \tMaterial: 90% nylon, 10% spandex \tColors: six (black plus skin tones) \tStyle variants: high-waisted short, mid-waisted short, high-waisted boyshort Structured shorts for maximum sculpting: Honeylove SuperPower Short There’s shapewear, and then there’s capital-S shapewear. For those seeking the latter, consider the Honeylove SuperPower Short, available in mid-thigh and girl-short (that is, upper-thigh) versions. These structured shorts nip the waist, suck in the tummy and inner thighs, and boost the derrière. Yes, boning is involved, but most of our testers reported that they felt contained rather than constricted. They’re engineered to create an hourglass shape. As one panelist put it, “These sure are shapewear-ish.” On each side of the SuperPower Short, long strips of flexible boning provide structure. Two smaller pieces of boning extend down the back of the garment for added support. Powerful bands of compression criss-cross the midsection, defining the waistline, flattening the tummy, and smoothing the back. The inner- and back-thigh areas also provide firm compression (and booty-lifting). Non-compressive mesh at the front of the thighs and just under the butt (on the mid-thigh version only) offer a breath of fresh air. You can choose between two inseam lengths. Most of our testers chose these shorts in the mid-thigh version, with a 7-inch inseam. These shorts are about the same length as our Shapermint All Day Every Day pick, and they’re approximately 1.5 inches longer than our Spanx OnCore pick. Two panelists tested the girl-short version, which measures about 2 inches shorter in the legs, and they gave the length a thumbs-up: “I can wear them under shorter skirts, but they still cover enough to keep my thighs from rubbing,” said one tester (5-foot-3, size 2X). Unlike our other shorts picks, these shorts don’t come in a mid-waisted version. They’re our thickest, most supportive pick. The SuperPower Short is made from a firm, silky blend of nylon and spandex. These shorts feel notably more substantial than our other picks; they’re also the only shorts that are fully lined. This pair wouldn’t be our first shapewear choice on a hot, humid day. Some of our testers found them comfy, but others did not. The testers gave the SuperPower Short mixed reviews on comfort—not surprising, considering this is our most-engineered pick. These shorts scored a couple of fours and fives, but also some dismal twos. Honeylove suggests sizing up if you have proportionally larger hips or thighs; we actually think you’re better off ordering your regular size for firm compression. (Two panelists sized up based on Honeylove’s guidance and wished they hadn’t.) Since they’re structured, these shorts are relatively easy to put on and take off. (If you do have trouble, they come with a set of straps that hook onto the waistband for hoisting them into place.) And we were grateful for their double gusset—the open flap at the crotch—which allows for easier bathroom trips. The boning is … polarizing. Our panelists used words like “old-fashioned” and “over-designed” to describe the boning in these shorts. “It’s like there are two rulers stuck down my sides,” said one tester. Personally, I wasn’t bothered by the boning—it’s positioned skillfully enough that I could (almost) forget it was there. And it’s highly effective at keeping the waistband from rolling down. Silicone grips along the backside of the waistband make doubly sure they stay put. They’re ideal for special occasions. When you want serious sculpting, the SuperPower Short will deliver. But this pair may feel like overkill for everyday. “They’re definitely not casual-wear,” remarked one panelist. Keep in mind that the boning—and thick side seams—in these shorts may be visible beneath thin or clingy fabrics. They do their job best under more-structured materials and cuts. They’re seriously sturdy. At around $90, these shorts are pricey—but they’re built to last. I used my teeth to clamp the boning into a sharp angle—for science!—and it bounced back, unharmed. Honeylove recommends hand-washing the SuperPower Short in cold water and laying flat to dry.

And it’s even harder if you’re tall, petite, or busty, or if your top and bottom halves don’t quite agree on your size. But our testing yielded a clear winner: The Honeylove Cami Bodysuit. Smooth, seamless, and highly adjustable, it has a comfy fit with medium-strength compression, plus a supportive bra top. It effectively shapes and compresses your midsection. As with our SuperPower Shorts pick (also made by Honeylove), the Cami Bodysuit’s shaping power is concentrated in compressive bands that criss-cross the waist and stomach. The bodysuit has a snug, supportive bra band, lifting the bust and shaping the mid-to-upper back area (bra bulge, begone!). Under each armpit, 4-inch vertical strips of flexible boning add structure to the boob-lifting operation without too much bother. The built-in bra is surprisingly good. Most bodysuits let us down in the bra department—compressing boobs or providing inadequate lift. Not the Cami Bodysuit: It has supportive, cradling cups and removable foam pads. “It’s a close swap for the real bras that I like,” said one panelist, who normally wears a size 38D. It’s the best-fitting bodysuit we tested. Our panelists gave most bodysuit contenders pretty lousy scores on the fit front. But the Cami Bodysuit earned an impressive 4 out of 5 average. “After a couple hours of getting beat up by other bodysuits, this one is like heaven,” gushed one tester (5-foot-6, size L). The Cami Bodysuit’s fabric is a smooth, stretchy nylon-spandex blend that moves flexibly with your body and hugs without pinching. Unlike some other bodysuits (looking at you, Skims Seamless Sculpt), this one isn’t a chore to put on and take off, and it glides easily over curves. It’s highly adjustable. The Cami Bodysuit fit testers ranging from 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-9, in sizes S to 2X, equally well, which is no small feat. The bra straps can be lengthened by about 7 inches, and the gusset (crotch) features three rows of hooks, affording another 2 inches of toggling. Our 6-foot panelist was the only one who struck out; the size medium was about 3 inches too short for her. One drawback to the adjustable gusset: It’s hard to operate. “I could not for the life of me get the middle hook clasped after I peed!” lamented one tester. (It’s easier to keep it closed and slide it to one side.) It’s a multi-tasking base layer. Since it’s effective yet comfy, the Cami Bodysuit works equally well for the office, Saturday night, or a special event. The full-coverage brief bottoms have sleek, bonded seams that don’t create telltale panty lines, so this bodysuit can be worn under close-fitting cuts. And the deep-V decolleté and scooped back are low enough to play nice with many necklines. The bra straps are fairly wide-set, though, and so they might peek out under some tops. It comes in a variety of other cuts. Honeylove makes this bodysuit in various styles, including a tank cut, which has thicker, non-adjustable straps that lie flat; the (5-foot-6, size L) tester who tried it found it especially comfy. There’s also a crossover cut, which has a V-neck with a decorative mesh overlay. Unlike our pick, it has thick, grippy strips of silicone around the leg openings. (The panelist who tested the crossover was not a fan of that detail.) This bodysuit comes in a thong version as well, with higher-cut leg openings. (None of our testers selected this model.) It’s worth the money. The Cami Bodysuit is the most expensive pick in this guide. Still, given its unusually good fit and overall quality, it delivers value—especially since it’s more supportive, adjustable, and smoothing than bodysuits costing twice as much. Honeylove recommends hand-washing this bodysuit in cold water and laying it flat to dry. I’ve machine-washed mine on warm in a garment bag and air-dried it, and it’s holding up beautifully. Bonded edges (like those around its leg openings) can come apart over time (especially if they’re exposed to high heat), but we haven’t noticed any degradation so far. Flaws but not dealbreakers \tThis bodysuit uses flexible boning, which some people may find uncomfortable. \tThe hook closure at the gusset (crotch) is difficult to fasten. \tIts wide-set straps will be visible with some tops (such as a racerback). Specs \tSizes: XS to 4X; petite XS to 4X \tSizing notes: true to size \tMaterial: 64% nylon, 36% spandex (body); 72% nylon, 28% spandex (mesh); 91% nylon, 9% spandex (bra cup); 100% cotton (gusset) \tColors: seven (including black, white, and three skin tones) \tStyle variants: cami, tank, crossover, thong Unmatched comfort and price, with softer shaping: Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day Scoop Neck Bodysuit In search of a kinder, gentler bodysuit? The Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day Scoop Neck Bodysuit is a stretchy garment with a camisole look that doesn’t announce itself as shapewear—it forgoes boning, padding, lining and other extras. (It also lacks an internal bra, so it won’t provide much support for larger breasts.) Testers praised its accommodating fit, breathable fabric, and comfy, hug-like feel around the stomach and waist—and more than a couple said they’d wear it on its own as a top. Note: This style is a close cousin of our All Day Every Day shaping shorts pick, also made by Shapermint. Between the two, the bodysuit is ever-so-slightly more compressive. It’s more smoothing than supportive. The Scoop Neck Bodysuit is a light, stretchy embrace for your midsection. From bra band to hip, the nylon/spandex garment subtly smooths the tummy, while two oblong side panels target the waist with a bit more oomph. Its brief-style bottom is made from non-compressive fabric, so it won’t flatten your butt. (This also comes in a non-bodysuit cami—which I tested and liked—if you don’t want the attached underwear.) Of the similarly unstructured knit models we tried (including the infamous Skims Seamless Sculpt bodysuit), it earned the highest average scores for fit and comfort, by a mile. “It’s easy to move around in—I wore it all day for work and then out all evening,” said one tester (5-foot-6, size 2XL). Panelists also remarked on its breathability; it felt bearable even in muggy, 90-degree-Fahrenheit weather. There’s no built-in bra. Unlike our Honeylove Cami Bodysuit pick, the unlined Scoop Neck Bodysuit does not offer boob lifting or shaping. Some testers liked that free-and-easy feel. But if you have large or heavy breasts, you might need more support. “If I’m wearing a full bodysuit, I shouldn’t have to wear a bra with it,” a size-38D panelist complained.

Our 5-foot-2 (size S) tester and our 6-foot (size M) tester were both content with the length—perhaps unprecedented in the world of one-pieces garments. The Scoop Neck Bodysuit’s design is handily adjustable: The straps can be lengthened by 4½ inches, and three rows of snaps at the gusset (crotch) give you another 1½ inches to work with. Some testers had difficulty opening and closing the snaps while wearing this bodysuit. (“I pulled it to the side when I peed,” said one). Others found the texture of the snaps stiff and uncomfortable. It’s a layering piece.

Alas, the waistband rolled down almost immediately. The Knix Shortie Thigh Saver Short 4” (XS to 4X) is comfortable and airy, with a mid-waist rise and a short, 4-inch inseam (it’s also available in a 6-inch inseam). But it delivers virtually no compression, and the seams around the leg openings create an unwelcome bulge. Buttery-smooth and ultra-compressive, the high-waisted Skims Seamless Sculpt Mid-Thigh Short (XXS to 4X) sucks in the tummy and boosts the derriére. But it was very difficult to shimmy into, and the waistband rolled down. The mid-waisted Wolford Tulle Control Shorts are made from a whisper-thin, marvelously breathable tulle. But they’re expensive, their shaping is barely perceptible, and they come in the narrowest size range (XS to L) of any shapewear we considered. Light, flexible, and refreshingly inexpensive, the mid-waisted Yummie Ultralight Shaping Short (S to 3X) has a shorter inseam than most (this pair ends a couple of inches above the fingertips). The silicone bands inside the legs stick uncomfortably to skin and create a lumpy profile. Shaping bodysuits Our testers universally disliked the lacy, moderately compressive Bali Lace N’ Smooth Firm Control Body Shaper. Among the complaints: itchy material, tight leg openings, stretch-free straps, and unlined, conical bra cups. This bodysuit comes in a relatively narrow range of sizes (34B to 40DD), and most panelists didn’t find a good fit. The lightly compressive Commando Zone Smoothing Bodysuit (XS to XL) is wonderfully fluid and seamless. It’s similar to our Honeylove Cami Bodysuit pick, except it isn’t as adjustable, sturdy, or size-inclusive—plus, it costs more. The HeyShape Snatched Thong Bodysuit (XS to 3X) and the ShapeRx Thong Bodysuit for Women (XXS to 5XL) are both touted online as lower-priced dupes for the Skims Seamless Sculpt Thong Bodysuit, an option worth considering. But they’re poor imitations. The HeyShape has unimpressive compression and cheap fabric, while the ShapeRx was dubbed “cruel” and “ignorant” by our testers. Neither matched the Skims’ waist-snatching prowess, and their crotch coverage is even stingier, to the point of being laughable. The sleek, silky Miraclesuit Sheer Underwire Bodybriefer (34B to 42DD) has comfortable, medium-firm control around the midsection and a supportive built-in underwire bra. Alas, it created a bad case of VPL, and the grippy bands of silicone at the legs are a recipe for sweaty discomfort. We had high hopes for the Pinsy Scoop Tank Hourglass Shapewear Bodysuit (S to 3X) because it’s the rare bodysuit that comes in a “long torso” option. Unfortunately, it’s uncomfortably (and unflatteringly) compressive around the bust. (Testers with A cups noticed it; testers with D cups noticed it. It’s a thing.) The moderately compressive Popilush Lace Deep V-Neck Bodysuit (S to 3XL) has a racy, lacy cutout neckline that feels more like lingerie than shapewear. It provides very little boob support, and its torso is unusually short—it gave me (5-foot-6, size M) an unpleasant frontal wedgie. The Wolford Mat de Luxe Forming Body is the most expensive piece of shapewear I tested. It’s smooth and comfy, with light to moderate midsection compression and an elegant sweetheart neckline. But the shaping and bust support don’t measure up to that of our much-less-expensive Honeylove bodysuit pick. And the Wolford is bewilderingly limited: It comes only in sizes XS to L (for B to D bra cups) and one fair skin tone. The Yitty Nearly Naked Shaping Thong Bodysuit (XS to 5X) is another buttery, stretchy bodysuit that’s reminiscent of the Skims Seamless Sculpt. Though the garments are similarly priced, we preferred the Skims’ adjustable straps; the Yitty bodysuit also wasn’t as waist-snatching, and it felt less supportive around the bust. The inexpensive Yummie Ruby Shaping Thong Bodysuit (S to XL) has thick, tank-style straps, and its compression is so light it’s barely noticeable. For a base layer that actually does some shaping, our Shapermint Scoop Neck Bodysuit Pick is the better choice.
