I recently bought this from another website and absolutely love it! The primary reason I wear shapewear shorts is because my thighs rub together, so I'm always on the lookout for a good product that can prevent chafing and slim me down. I think it's hard to find good reviews for shapewear for plus size gals, so here goes! If you're looking to upgrade from your bike shorts and want something that doesn't swish, roll down, and is easy to get on and off, this is the product for you! First off, these don't "swish." They're silent so you don't hear me coming. The waist is HIGH - hence "high waisted shorts" - and come up to right under my bra. That means it doesn't roll down when I sit, which is a huge advantage over other shapers. I've read other reviews that mention back fat. I'm 5'5, 275 lbs, and wear a size 3x/24, so I'm going to have back fat regardless of whether I wear something like this or not. It doesn't cover the back fat but it doesn't seem to make it more pronounced for big gals like myself. Kristi from Portland OR USA
