5.0 out of 5 stars Won't leave home without them..., July 19, 2008

This review is from: SPANX Higher Power High-Waisted Power Panties Shapewear (Apparel)

I really only wear them for work or special occasions but I secretly would love to wear them with EVERYTHING. The trick is to buy the correct size. If you think you need to buy smaller, in order to look smaller, you couldn't be more wrong. Seriously, I feel like I've instantly lost 10 lbs when I have them on (without the effort). They smooth my curves and support my post-pardum bulges. Most importantly, they give me the confidence I need to not feel insecure about my appearance. You can certainly find something cheaper out there, but you will end up with a far inferior product that will end up in your drawer, because if the SPANX are available you'll always reach for them first.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok..., July 12, 2010

It's ok... but for something that is supposed to be all slimming and such, I think there are better products out there, ie. Maidenform: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00284B8WU/). Reason why is that there's a huge huge seam running right down the front and center of it!! So you better wear some thick fabric over it, or you'll get some crazy "panty lines". There's absolutely nothing sexy about this, but I guess this is more "form over function".

The other reviewer brings up a good point; it is hard to use the bathroom with this on, since it's not exactly easy to get in and out of. It's not extremely difficult, but not even close to being convenient.

3.0 out of 5 stars Higher Power by Spanx, March 26, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

I purchased Higher Power by Spanx about a month or two ago and I wear it just about everyday. What I like about this product is that it doesn't really make me feel like I am wearing a girdle. It also definitely makes a difference in my appearance; I love how this product covers me from under the breasts all the way to my thighs. My problems areas are the lower stomach and inner thighs, and this product helps to smooth those areas and my pants are fitting better than ever! Also, I wore khaki pants for the 1st time in 5 years since this product helps to eliminate the appearance of cellulite. It doesn't make it go away, that's for sure, but it certainly helps smooth the lumps and bumps.

What I don't like about the product is how it fits around my bra area. This product actually makes that area look fatter since it's pushing everything up. I can't seem to find a comfortable position. I am constantly checking out my back profile in the mirror after I put on these Spanx and at times I take it off since those bra bulges look worse than before I put the Spanx on. Also, the product tends to make the "love-handle" area look fatter as well, and this is not usually a problem area for me. These two issues are major for me.

Also, the quality of the product for the price leaves a lot to be desired. From the 2nd day, the strings around the top started to fray and come loose. This material is so similar to pantyhose and it snags easily. Also, I noticed this morning that the area around the crotch is starting to come loose as well. The craftsmanship could be a lot better. Another complaint is that when I visit the ladies room, I have to pull the product down in order to use the toilet. In the product description it says something about a "cotton gusset" to make it easier, but I just feel uncomfortable not wearing some sort of underwear so only using the gusset just doesn't work for me.

Overall, I enjoy the product, but not nearly as much as I had hoped; but I definitely plan on purchasing other Spanx products in the future.
