Looks tight, uncomfortable and HOT for summer.  As with most skin care products, I see no difference between the "before" and "after".  Why bother?

I totally agree!  The vendor really doesn't look any different to me with her demonstration.

The only time I would wear something like that would be with a dress since we no longer wear slips and a short panty would keep things together.  

However I don't wear dresses so it's just not fr me.

I bought a couple of Jockey shapers awhile ago. Seldom wear them.  At my age I'd rather be comfortable and jiggle a bit--LOL! 

Plus I don't understand why they advertise those Jockey "skimmies" as a substitute for a slip?  They do nothing to hide any see through of a skirt or dress.

@kaydee50 They are good for keeping upper thighs from rubbing together.  I never wear dresses but when DD got married last May I wore a gown and wore panty shorts that came halfway down my thigh under the dress.  However they were not "shapers". They were just long panties and were cool.

I thought shapewear was quite popular with the younger crowd and I occasionally hear celebs talk about their Spanx.  I find it funny that so many claim pantyhose are too hot, but will embrace shapewear.

@Icegoddess Celebrities get perks for mentioning brands. Spanx is trying to draw in the younger crowd.

@cjm61 They've been doing it for years and I had never even heard of it before it being mentioned by a younger person, so apparently they weren't targeting the older crowd.  Personally, I think Spanx is like Coke or Xerox.  It has become the generic term for shapewear whether or not it actually is Spanx.

Looks as uncomfortable as panty girdles we’re in my working days. I’ve moved on!!

@Kachina624  I break a sweat just thinking about wearing these in the humid Mississippi heat.  YEA>>>NO THANKS!

[soozer]

I feel so bad for the models....and you know what i mean.....

[Teddixat]

they are not for me but I respect anyone who needs or wants to wear a shaper.   More power to you ladies

LOL.  When I was young, we called them GIRDLES.  They were awful.  Why young people would tolerate this type of garment is beyond me.  I thought the younger generation was smarter than my older generation.  Smarter and all about comfort.
