Wow, I've tried many 'shapers' over the last 3 years, trying to find one 'just right' for me & my body shape.  Ta-da! I found it in these Flexees.  I wanted a light-to-moderate shaper, with legs long enough to protect my thighs from chafing. These 2XL fit very well (I'm a size 20 pant, apple-shape).  The bottoms of the legs don't restrict my thighs, but do hug them close enough so they don't ride up or roll up during the day while I'm wearing them. I love the smooth, silky feel of the material, which allows my pants, capris, skirts & dresses to hang nicely without bunching up or snagging on my underwear - no 'panty line', no 'thigh line' showing where the legs end. They feel comfortably snug on me, but not restrictive.  It isn't a 5 minute struggle to pull them up, either, even the first time I put them on for the day! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Maidenform will CONTINUE to make these Slimmers - a couple of other brands I previously found & liked were discontinued within 6 months of my discovery (so frustrating!).
