@court_higgs"I wear a lot of denim, so I knew I wanted to try out a brief to help slim my hips and booty to fit into a pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear comfortably in about a year. I was truly shocked at what a difference the Skims Sculpting Mid-Waist Brief made. When I slid my jeans on over them, I didn't have to shimmy as much as I normally would. What's more, when I buttoned my pants closed, I realized there was about an inch of room in the waist that definitely was not there before. My hips, booty, and post-lunch abdomen were, as the kids say, snatched. I will say, though, that the second I sat down at my desk, the part of the brief that covered my tummy immediately started to roll down. I readjusted them, and they stayed up fine, but for the sake of not having to play with my undergarments at work all day, I think I'll save these for a night out where I'd mostly be standing."

@sarahayang"At first glance, they looked really intimidating and so tiny, so I was really nervous about trying them on. They were surprisingly easy (for shapewear) to put on. I thought there was going to be a lot of yanking and pulling and contorting my body, but nope! After putting them on, I did feel like I had to catch my breath for a bit because they were so tight. They definitely got the job done, though—smoothing everything out and sucking everything in. I don't know if I'd be able to wear them for the whole day (I can't wear any kind of shapewear for the whole day), but for a few hours to an event or a party? I can handle that."

@annalaplaca"Don't let the miniature-size pieces fool you. They will stretch out more than you think. That said, once I squeezed myself into my Skims, they definitely did the job and smoothed everything out—whatever annoying stomach bloat I had was virtually deleted. I wore mine underneath a dress to attend a wedding, and unfortunately, the high-waisted briefs bunched way up over my hips while I was seated, which made things pretty uncomfortable. So I'd say for standing and taking photos, I'm all for these, but in my experience, they weren't the best design for lots of movement."

@fitzpatrickerinI'm self-conscious about my hips and actively avoid wearing all formfitting dresses, so I was excited to try these shorts out. I tried them with this Reformation dress and was really pleased with how I still looked like myself, but a better version. I definitely felt like the shorts smoothed me out a bit, and I can honestly say I felt more confident while wearing them. Dare I say I might actually be tempted to buy more formfitting clothes now?
