2-pack No Show Light Shaping Bike Shorts

Rated 1 out of 5 on 31 Jul 2022

Ok so I read the other reviews for these and thought I'd give them a go to wear under a light lemon coloured dress I bought for a special party. I had tried nude and lemon coloured underwear but both showed through. These shorts are a light nude and a very thin shiny smooth fabric, they didn't show through and did not roll down so I thought I was onto a winner. They fit perfectly, I am a size 14 and purchased an L. They certainly weren't tight so didn't slim at all but definitely provided a smooth look. Unfortunately a couple hours into the party I bent down and felt the fabric covering my bottom rip open completely!! I checked in a mirror and convinced myself it was OK and no one could see through my thankfully floaty dress. I thought I'd just have to cope like that for the rest of the evening but no, I sat down and felt the rip continue all the way up the back to the waist band where it completely split in half! So the whole front of the shorts fell down and I was left with the two legs on and no floof or bum covering at all 🙈 I had to remove them completely and leave the party. My husband thought it was hilarious, I was really annoyed! I came home and inspected the second unworn pair and they have a small rip in the backside! I was set up to fail 😂 Will certainly not be re purchasing these.

the colour, a dark beige is fantastic. Much more invisible than the usual pale beige (for context, I have pale skin and struggle to find foundation light enough for me, so thought dark beige would be darker on me. It was perfect). for better and worse, they are quite insubstantial, and I wonder how long they will last without reinforcement at waist or bottom (although this does give a smoother line). I bought my usual size, and they provide a little control, not a lot. Great for preventing chafing and are very comfortable, since not tight, and provide a smooth line. These don't hold things in aggressively, but they are what they are advertised--light shaping no-show at a good price. I liked the fit of my size, since I wasn't looking for something really tight

I bought S and M and kept the Medium (although I am usually a size 10) because I wanted the waist to come up really high, completely over my "mum tum". I found that the Small ended at the belly button which I wouldn't really call a true high waist. I think the shaping aspect of them is verrrry light, and the good thing about that is that they are then also very comfortable to wear, but personally I wouldn't have minded a bit more control (perhaps an added bit of mesh) over the tummy either. These are perfect to wear under a skirt or dress when you want to go bare legged, yet feel a bit covered underneath a flowy skirt, and also if you want to have a slip function i.e. stop fabric from catching on your belly!

I love the texture of it, it doesn’t get stuck to clothes, its very sleek and the perfect length of leg too. Initially i wanted it to be as tight as spanx but really i just wanted it to tuck my shirts in under dresses, stop my legs chafing and cover my pants through this white dress that i have. After wearing them I noticed they are not that tight BUT the material is really thin and i love that because my body is kinda short so alot of spanx bunch under my waist creating a sort of ring of material, but because these are so thin, when they bunch it is practically flawless and you cant see any lumps under my clothes at all.

I'm a size 12 and bought these in large because I didn't want to risk them being tight and uncomfortable. Fit is perfect and they seem really comfortable and absolutely no vpl which was my main reason for purchasing. I don't think they hold anything in really but I wasn't expecting them to. I haven't worn all day yet so can't comment on any rolling down. Seem well made and good value for money. I bought nude initially to go under light coloured clothes and have just ordered in black as well. The best no vpl shorts I've found so far.

That is the best thing ever!!! I had a few trousers and shorts which are a bit see trough and because of that I had always to wear them with long t-shirt to cover the back, BUT now I don't need to do that because with these ones it could not be seen anything at all. I love theeeem and in addition to that you could wear anything you want to without any hesitation, they make your body look way fitter. About the size: I am waist 62cm and low hip 91 cm and I've picked S just not to be too tight in the thights and it is perfect.

These have been a life saver this summer! They come to mid - lower thigh and its something to bear in mind if you're wearing something shorter over these. They're don't hold you in like typical spanx but smooth lines instead. This makes them more comfortable to wear all day and gives you flattering lines. Most importantly though, they've saved my legs from rubbing. They have a shiny material which might look odd if you were wearing these with an oversized sweatshirt, I prefer to keep these shorts under dresses and skirts.

I know that shapewear is supposed to be tight, but I found that these shorts are a bit on a smaller size. They still fit nicely though, I just kind of have to wiggle into them. I also wish that the top part would extend higher, 2-3 inches over the belly button, but it's just my preference. The material is thin and smooth, it smoothes out the silhouette and provides very light gentle shaping. I'm postpartum and wearing these under dresses makes me feel more confident.

I'm delighted with these. I was worried they would be a bit too shaping, in that they'd be too tight and constrictive, but they really are 'light' as the description says. Really sleek and invisible under light-coloured clothing. I've only tried them on with various clothing items, so not worn them for any length of time or washed them yet, but I don't foresee any problems. If they behave after a wear and wash, I shall definitely buy more.

Good but you need to size up! These are so small. I am a size 8/10 and have small spanx which I wear but could not fit into these at all. I wanted these more to wear if a dress/skirt is slightly see through instead of to 'pull everything in' (they are nowhere near as powerful as proper spanx if that's what you are after). I ended up with a pair in large which are perfect. They're very thin so no seams which is great even under thin fabric
