Must read

Finding shapewear that’s comfortable, affordable and good at smoothing and lifting your body in all the right places often seems next to impossible.

Right now, the Shaperx bodysuit starts at just $30, down from $48, and some reviewers even say it rivals Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand.

Why do I need this? 💰

Shapewear can be pricey — something similar from Skims costs over $70. So even at its regular price, the Shaperx bodysuit is a bargain! But we haven’t seen a price drop this steep in weeks — so if you’d like to snap up a bodysuit to feel comfy and confident in any fall wedding ‘fits, we suggest grabbing one (or two) of these now.

Why do I need this? 🤔

So what makes shoppers rave about this pick? Most reviewers compare the smoothing effects to those of Skims bodysuits. Yes, it’s that good. It’s made from 80% nylon and 20% spandex, which balances stretch and compression as it smooths your figure and adds tummy control.

The shapewear streamlines your midsection and lifts your bust without making you feel squeezed and compressed, fans say. Instead, it hugs your body in all the right places, adding a seamless shape. The bodysuit is lined and even comes in a thong design. It also has adjustable straps, and the shorts version adds additional shaping to the thigh and booty areas. What’s not to love?

What reviewers say 💬

Over 22,000 five-star reviewers give this tummy-control bodysuit their stamp of approval.

Pros 👍

“I actually love this shapewear!” one shopper wrote. “Don’t have extremely high expectations that it’s going to transform you into looking like you just left Dr. Miami’s office, but it definitely smooths, hugs and compresses you to accentuate your natural shape! Great tummy control, super comfortable and made me look great!”

Some compression bodysuits bunch up under your clothes, but not this one, as an “obsessed” customer attested: “It’s so comfy! It doesn’t ride up. I wore this on a night out and didn’t feel suctioned into it like I normally would with shapewear by the end of the night. I feel confident in my jeans again.”

“Girl, when I tell you I’m shocked, I am!” said this convert. “I was so skeptical because I buy and buy shapewear, and it’s always disappointing, but girl, this one right here is the one, and even better, it is so comfortable! I am definitely buying more!”

“I’m a Skims stan and normally don’t purchase dupes of Skims products because I rarely find something to be a true dupe. This, however, is gold,” raved one fan. “I’ve worn it under tops where I wanted smoothing/slimming, and it’s great for that too. For this item in particular, definitely save your money on Skims and purchase this one.”

“I bought Skims once and loved the look but hated the price,” agreed another shopper. “Found these and took a chance and they’re the exact same thing! Highly recommend. They fit beautifully, material is thick and stretchy. The material is high quality for a fraction of Skims pricing.”

Cons 👎

One devotee had this helpful note: “The only tiny thing that I haven’t 100% loved about it is that the bust line is a little high.” But they added in their five-star write-up, “The wonderful thing about this shaper is that it actually works how it should. It doesn’t ride up or down, it doesn’t bunch, it is breathable enough that I don’t feel like I am dying, and it smooths everything out and provides protection from chub rub. The shorts are short enough for cocktail dresses, and it is easy enough to pull them shorter if need be.”

Another reviewer added advice for bountifully chested customers: “Large-busted ladies may need to consider that this may not encompass your girls entirely,” they wrote. “There is definitely spillage. And because of the compression, the line at the top of the cup is not terribly comfortable and digs in.”
