SPANX®

The bold mission of SPANX: to make the world a better place, one butt at a time. For founder Sara Blakely, it all started in 2000 with a bad case of VPL: visible panty lines. She cut the feet off her control-top pantyhose, and a shapewear empire was born. Today these undergarments are wardrobe staples for women and men who trust SPANX to slim their silhouettes and boost their confidence.

Great pants!
Bought these to travel to South America. I’ve worn them a couple of times and so far so good. They have enough stretch to not be uncomfortable. They sit quite high on the waist, making a French tuck a bit difficult, but the style and fit make them worth it.

Falling apart after a few wears
I bought these pants over the summer and didn’t wear them until the fall. I wore them a few times before the seam at the waist started unraveling and falling apart. I’ve washed them one time and followed the instructions. Now, with the seams unraveling they look super cheap and I can’t wear them to work. Not what I would expect for a pair of pants that is $120, and a bummer to spend that much on something I can no longer wear. It is a bummer because they are comfy otherwise, just unfortunate they are cheap and poor quality.

much shorter than advertised
Spanx has great stuff but these “ankle pants” come to mid calf on me. I am 5’10. I am keeping them because I like everything else about them but the length seriously limits how I can wear them. Disappointed.

Runs small
5'5" 108 lbs. The XS regular, I could barely get over my slim hips, once I did they seemed a little to tight, even though they "fit" to work for me. Sizing up to a S regular was perfect, also good on the length.

Runs small and long in length
These don’t look anything like they do on the model. They really fit more like a legging with pockets, and the length on the pant is so long I had to cuff them. I can’t justify getting a “legging” tailored and will be returning.
