Great
I am happy with the quality of the compress and lift short, but I ordered a size too small and will be returning it for a bigger size. I am confident that I will be happy with the product once I am able to wear it.

It’s a bit small, I wish I had taken 2XL but they are perfect.
Shapewear shorts cover the tummy, hips, and thighs and are best for smoothing the upper legs under dresses, skirts, and fitted trousers. Briefs cover the tummy and hips but stop at the upper thigh, which makes them ideal for everyday wear under most outfits. Thongs give tummy and hip shaping without any visible lines, which makes them the go-to choice under fitted skirts, body-con dresses, and white or light-coloured bottoms.
Compression level tells you how strong the shaping feels when you wear the garment. Sculpt uses a three-level scale across shapewear:
Light, Medium, and Strong. Light gives a gentle smoothing effect for everyday wear. Medium gives a noticeable smoother silhouette that stays comfortable for a full day. Strong offers the firmest shaping and is best for fitted dresses, special occasions, or shorter wear.
Each bottom on Sculpt shows its compression level on the product page so you can choose what suits your needs.
Control area tells you which parts of your body the garment shapes and smooths.
Sculpt bottoms target one or more of these areas: Tummy & Belly, Hips & Butt, and Legs & Thighs.
Some bottoms focus on a single area, like tummy-only shaping briefs. Others target multiple areas at once, like high-waisted shorts that shape the tummy, hips, and thighs in one piece.
The product page shows the exact control areas for each style so you can find what works for the outfit you're dressing for.
Rolling almost always means the fit or the fabric is wrong, not your body. If the waistband rolls down, the shorts are too tight at the waist or the rise is too short for your torso. If the legs roll up, there's not enough grip at the hem or the shorts are too small overall. Sculpt bottoms are designed with silicone grip bands and wider waistbands to prevent rolling. If you're still seeing rolling, size up one and the issue usually disappears.
No, not if you choose the right style. Seamless shapewear thongs give zero visible lines under fitted skirts and dresses. Briefs with bonded or laser-cut edges also sit flat and invisible. The lines you want to avoid come from regular underwear with stitched edges, so the rule is simple: smooth edges for fitted outfits, regular edges for looser clothing where VPLs don't show anyway.
Yes. Shapewear shorts act as a barrier between your thighs, which stops skin-on-skin friction, reduces sweat rub, and prevents chafing that often happens in warm weather or during long days of walking. This is one of the most common reasons South African women buy shapewear shorts, especially for summer. Look for longer-leg styles if you want full thigh coverage.
It's entirely up to you. Sculpt bottoms come with a built-in cotton gusset, so you can wear them directly against your skin without underwear if you prefer. Most women skip underwear to avoid visible panty lines and extra bulk. If you prefer an extra layer, a seamless thong underneath works well without adding any visible lines.
Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the widest, then check the size chart on the product page you're buying from. If you're between sizes, go up for comfort. Sizing down to get more compression causes rolling, muffin top, and discomfort within an hour. A well-fitted pair should feel snug and supportive, not tight or restrictive.
I found the bra to really comfortable. I have not had such a comfortable bra that provides great support in a while. I will be buying more of your products.
Really "life changing"! Hated wearing any form of bra as it was uncomfortable and not supporting... these, however, I would recommend 1000% to anyone who would want (or not 😉) to listen! Best purchase ever made
