If you've landed here (hi, hello, how's it going), then chances are you've witnessed the actual sorcery that great shapewear can perform. And while nobody needs shapewear to look their best, sometimes you want a little extra layer of security, and that's okay too! Whether you're looking to smooth your silhouette, sculpt your booty, or lift your bust, the best shapewear can truly do it all—all while looking totally seamless under your clothes.
You could scour the entire internet trying to find the best shapewear of all time…or you can take our word for it when we tell you that some of the very best shapewear is on Amazon, meaning you can get all your shopping done in one go. Case in point:
You probably already know that Amazon is a v convenient place to find top-rated leggings, bras, and workout clothes, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they deliver when it comes to shapewear as well. From full-body shapers to supportive shorts, cinchers, bodysuits, briefs, and thongs, the best shapewear on Amazon will take any outfit to the next level—without compressing TF out of your inner organs. After all, everyone on Bridgerton may look chic as heck, but *no one* wants to sit through an event feeling like they're suffocating in a Regency era corset, agreed?
Ahead, check out all of the most comfortable, magically compressive bodysuits and booty shorts that you'll wanna add to your Amazon cart ASAP. (Psstt, most of them are eligible for two-day shipping with a Prime membership or free 30-day trial!)
Choose your fighter. These durable high-waisted body shaper shorts come in several basic shades, so you can stock up on multiple for different types of outfits. There’s a handy non-slip grip line at the top of the shorts to ensure that nothing rolls down, and customers say that the gentle shaping is surprisingly comfortable.
THE REVIEWS: "This product is so great I just had to try them on as soon as I received the item. They feel so comfortable and the material is so great that I am going to make another purchase in another color. I truly love that they don't roll off on you when you sit down or bend over!"
While I can't endorse this altered photo ... side eye ... I can say that the product itself is pretty damn good. The internet-famous bodysuit that looks and fits *just* like Skim's sculpting bodysuit, only cheaper. It smooths and lifts, plus it features a comfortable, mid-thigh length, so it won't roll up throughout the day (and yes, it has a gusset hole so you can pee without having to get naked). Don’t be intimidated if the bodysuit looks like it was made for a literal child straight out of the packaging—reviewers say that it’s surprisingly comfortable when worn, especially if you get your usual size rather than sizing down for more ~snatch~.
THE REVIEWS: "It's not uncomfortable at all, just has a SLIGHT compression. It doesn't cut into my thighs or roll up. At first, when it arrived, it was so tiny, like children's clothes. But it's so amazing, it cinched my waist and lifted my boobs ... The before and after is pretty amazing," one reviewer writes.
Your thong just got taken to the next level. Say goodbye to visible lines. This style is seamless, honey—okay?! There’s a double compression band built into the high-waisted fit, along with boning throughout to prevent the garment from rolling down while you’re dropping it like it’s hot on the dance floor.
The Reviews: "OOOWWEEE I'M IN LOVE. I bought 2 of these gems and after my first wear, I ordered 2 more. Perfect all around. I am a 2x/3x and this by far is THE BEST and great for everyday wear. So, trust multiple pairs is a MUST."
For just a lil bit of support where ya want it most, this body-shaping thong seriously delivers. It offers the ideal balance of compression, control, and comfort—and just peep that under-$15 price tag! More features you'll love? A slip-resistant silicone strip, plus ultra-thin hemlines that'll be totally invisible under clothes thanks to the high-cut style. Reviewers say these thongs are surprisingly lightweight, whether you order your usual size for comfort or size down for an extra-tight fit.
THE REVIEWS: "I hate [shapewear] that smoosh your butt down. My torso is kind of long, so usually the thong ones give me no crotch room. But this one is perfect," one reviewer writes. "It's great and does not roll down."
Why does this bodysuit have nearly 20,000 five-star reviews, you ask? Because the fit and smoothing effects are top-notch. It offers firm control, comfortable compression, and plenty of lift, plus the non-slip straps are fully adjustable. And last but not least, the inside of the garment is extra soft so anyone who’s postpartum (or anyone at all) won’t have to worry about chafing!
THE REVIEWS: "I wish I could give 10 stars!!! I just had my baby a week ago and I am loving this shapewear," writes one reviewer. "So comfortable, you can wear it all day, every day ... This shapewear also works perfectly for any other occasion, not just for postpartum."
Available in sizes XL-5XL, these breathable briefs are designed to lift and smooth while providing firm control. They'll never curl or ride up—thanks to the seamless, silicone gripper elastic at the hemline—and they're comfortable enough to wear all day long. There’s a handy center back seam that’ll create extra booty lift, as well as a super high waist that’ll smooth out your entire torso and back.
THE REVIEWS: "I own hundreds of dollars in shapewear. This so far probably has the best amount of hold of any of them. I wish I had known about this brand years ago because it would have saved me so much money! Absolutely recommend—this is the one you want to buy," writes one reviewer.
These super high-waisted Spandex shapers from Robert Matthew have a cult following and for good reason: They're inexpensive, perfectly compressive, seamless, and made from comfortable and lightweight fabric. There’s no sticky band at the top, which could be beneficial for anyone with sensitive skin that tends to get irritated by things like that, and they stay up without rolling down despite not having an elastic lining!
THE REVIEWS: "Everything is very smooth, even on the thighs where the shapewear starts," one reviewer writes. "Seriously, the best shapewear I've ever, ever tried. And for the price, it's unbeatable."
This lacy body briefer has a built-in bra and just the right amount of compression—and best of all, delicate, stylish lace will feel a lot more like lingerie than capital-S-Shapewear, which is a huge win IMO. Keep in mind that it’s sized according to bra size, and that reviewers say that most of the compression is in the tummy area rather than in the chest!
THE REVIEWS: "This shaper offers medium to firm control, gives great support to the girls, and does not look like your grandma's undergarment! It looks more like lingerie than shapewear," one reviewer writes.
The perfect body shapewear doesn't exi—oh, wait, nvm, here it is. No need to worry about extreme compression flattening your curves, because this one-piece shaper will lift your bust and butt while keeping everything else compressed. It has reinforced seams, and a convenient zipper closure down the front, plus it can be worn with your favorite bra. What's more, this piece features a gusset hole (aka you don't have to take it off to pee!!).
THE REVIEWS: "All I can say is wow! The compression this faja has is amazing. Follow the size chart for the right size. It shapes my body perfectly and it doesn’t show under clothes," one reviewer writes. "Amazing !!!"
Shapewear isn't about hiding your curves—it's about enhancing them, and these butt-shaper shorts do just that. They've got four removable back and hip pads that you can readjust to your liking, breathable and comfortable mesh fabric, anti-slip hemlines, and a high-waisted fit with compression. Shoppers say to size down if you want to feel extra locked-in.
THE REVIEWS: "This thing is amazing! I don’t necessarily need the padding in the booty, but the pads on the sides are positively saving my self-esteem as they even out my lil hip dips!! True to size, I got a medium and it fits perfectly,” one reviewer writes.
This best-selling camisole from popular shapewear brand Shapermint is available in sizes small-4X, and it's so comfy that you may just forget you're wearing it at all. It features a gorge scoop-neck design, adjustable shoulder straps, and breathable fabric. There's also the fact that it's available in four must-have colorways: black, tan, white, and chocolate. And lastly, the tank doesn’t “look” like shapewear so you could totally get away with wearing this as a regular shirt—or, hide it underneath tanks and tees for maximum smoothing.
THE REVIEWS: "I usually have issues with the compression tops rolling up ... This one is long, snug to the top part of my thighs, and not tight to where I'm suffocating. I originally bought the 3x out of fear of it not fitting and I actually had a lot of room so I went 2x. Still very comfortable and a little more compressed," one reviewer writes. "I'm just excited I found something that can work for me, and I feel confident wearing it anywhere."
While def not cheap, this body briefer from Wacoal can be worn either with or without the included straps, so no matter your outfit situation, you'll be totally supported. Other features include cup lining, a thoughtfully-placed center back seam, and a keyhole back with a hook and eye closure that makes getting it on and off so much easier. Also, it’s serving all the Golden Age actress/burlesque/lingerie vibes, if you’re into that kinda thing.
THE REVIEWS: "Finally shapewear that holds the girls up even when you don’t use the bra straps! Thank yoooou! SHAPEWEAR that shapes you," writes one reviewer. "Who knew?!"
Neither! When shopping for shapewear, it's usually best to order your regular size—if you choose something too big, the edges will roll up; if you choose something too small, it'll dig into your skin. But before you add shapewear to your cart, you should always read through customer reviews and check the brand's size chart just to be safe.
You can if you want to, but you definitely don't need to wear underwear under your shapewear, as most brands design their bodysuits and shorts with built-in panties. Also, keep in mind that wearing underwear under skin-tight shapewear won't be very comfortable, and it might counteract the seamless effect.
