Spanx Higher Power Review Summary

Many types of undergarments exist to make a woman’s body look slimmer and one of them is Spanx Higher Power, an undergarment designed to make a woman’s mid section look slimmer and in control. “I Love These- No More Bulges” raves one reviewer, and others have also pointed out that Spanx Higher Power does succeed at smoothing out bumps and it hides any visibility of a panty line. However, Spanx Higher Power does have its critics, and reviewers have pointed out that Spanx Higher Power is difficult to put on, doesn’t always fit the way it should, and doesn’t always stay in place. It makes Spanx Higher Power a piece of Women’s Clothing that may not meet your expectations.

Wear everyday, and LOVE them.... but; could be better....

FEB

2008

I LOVE MY HIGHER POWER SPANX! I wear a pair everyday, you can't get me out of them. I've been using this product for over a year now. Breathes fine in the New England summers, however when I went to Florida, I often had to opt out of wearing them, they were too insulating. However, while the… read full review »

I bought a pair of Higher Power by Spanx for my daughter’s wedding. After I bought mine I sent my other daughter a pair thinking they were the answer to bulges. — You want to know what these are? — If you don’t know then you don’t watch Oprah! She is a super… read full review »

You better spank me longer than a week for $35.

dislike panty lines, super body conscious, always trying to suck my fat in

SEP

2007

The Verdict: Love, love, loved it til it fell apart after a week and I ended up throwing it away. — About Spanx: Higher Power is made of 87% nylon/13% Lycra spandex. It has a cotton crotch. The material is like thick pantyhose with a band around the top which is supposed to help it from slipping down. There is no band around the thigh area which keeps the leg area from looking like sausages. — My Experience: I first saw Spanx on QVC. One of the sales gals was talking about how no one, even if they are skinny, should be going without a… read full review »

Great idea, poor packaging

I bought Spanx to eliminate VPL under clingy party dresses I wear to formal events. I followed the sizing guide, spent my $18 and went home. When it came time to put on my new purchase, however, I was unable to - it didn't fit. ;-( I have yet to drive 30 minutes back to the store and exchange it. — Oprah turned me on to this, but incorrect sizing turned me off. Buyer beware! — The Bottom Line: Libby's Leery.… read full review »

I loved them!!!

super body conscious

NOV

2007

I was looking for a product to wear under a dress. I am very hippy, and the dress seemed to "sit" on my hips. There was a HUGE difference with the Spanx on. I first opened the package and thought "there is no way that I can get into those!!" I had to laugh while I was putting them on as I thought how ridiculous I must look. Overall, I believe they were well worth the price and the struggle. I liked them so much, I have bought a second pair. The instructions say to hand wash, I put them in a lingerie bag in the washer and line dry, and so far I haven't… read full review »

Spanx Higher Power never leave home without them

JUL

2008

I starting using Spanx a couple months after I had my son. They are the best product ever made for smoothing and holding everything in. They make your clothes look and fit much better. I wear a pair of Spanx everyday. I will not leave out of my house without them on. I would recommend them to every woman out there. They stay in place with no problems of falling down. I would recommend that you go one size down from what the chart on the back says to use. They are a little costly but worth every cent. I have only found them… read full review »

Spanx are amazing! They just make everything look better, and your clothes fit better as well. I was really worried they would roll down, but that really hasn't been a problem for me. They are expensive, but so worth the… read full review »

Buyer Beware

classic

FEB

2008

I have been a customer of Spanx since Oprah's endorsement; however "buyer beware". The quality of this product has dropped over the past year. I wear the Hi Falutin footless pantyhose; I purchase at Nordstrom for $28.00 before tax and they are only lasting a couple of days before tearing were the panty and leg meet. Holes develop with snagging. I spoke with Nordstrom who directed me to the company. I spoke with Spanx customer service and suggested that they check with their manufacturer because I have been experiencing this problem for at least 6 months! They did not really acknowledge that… read full review »

Higher Power is my lifesaver!

classic

AUG

2008

So after reading a bunch of the reviews on Spanx Higher Power, I figured what the heck and bought a pair. I figured what could be worse than sometimes looking all rolly polly in a nice dress. — — Now keep in mind that I'm 35, 5'2" (on a good day) and about 200#. In tops I wear an XL and in bottoms an 18W. I have a well defined waist and a hefty mid section. Being comfortable with my body is something that I've finally been able to acheive and now I love wearing sleveless dresses in the summer. — — But most of my dresses are the Rayon fabric… read full review »

"girl shorts" ride up on the thigh

mainstream

MAY

2008

I am new to the Spanx experience. I bought my first pair today (the hide and sleek girl short). The fit was fine, I am basically a size 5/6 so I bought a small. — I only had these on for a short period of time to try them out with the dress I was planning on wearing them with. The shorts kept bunching/rolling up my thighs as I walked around, not exactly the slimming look I had in mind! — I would try these again but only in a full length with attached foot as I am leary about how they would stay in place and not ride up on another part of my leg. — I… read full review »

Spanx don't waste your money if you are a size 16 or higher.

Spanx well, I can tell you that I loved the infomercial and I thought, "Wow, lighter fabric then the support wear you can by at Dillards, it couldn't hurt. When I received them I found out that they are a thinner material however my butt looked line one huge Uni-butt! I found that it is better to just stick with the thicker fabric ones that you get in the store that are not Spanx, also they might be a little more expensive but they still have better support and you look more natural in them without all of your rolls or flab showing. Plus the store bought ones stay up, where I… read full review »

How do you get this thing on?!

dieter, a creature of comfort

DEC

2007

I purchased Spanx Higher Power after seeing it on Oprah. I am a full figured woman with some imperfections to mask. I was attending a Christmas party for my job and wanted to show them how this chick cleans up. I bought the Spanx to wear under a velvet wrap dress. It took me about 30 minutes to get it over my butt. Once I got it on, it worked wonders under the dress. However, the ride over was ridiculous! It kept rolling down in the back, and I spent the better part of the party excusing myself to the restroom to adjust it. I even left the party a little early because I had to use the… read full review »

don't waste your money

FEB

2008

After i watched Oprah, that same night i order a pair of high power spanx because i thought it will make me look slimmer at my sister wedding. All the stars are rating about it and its really make me want to have it so bad. But guess what, i was so diappointed when i got the spanx, it's didn't smooth or suck in the fat like everyone say it would. I am a average size woman and like most woman after having a baby, there is a bit of fat hanging on the waist. Its said there will be no visible panty line but it did. The only thing i can wear this with is… read full review »

Spanx are great! Yes they are a little pricey but if it works, so what? I don't have any problems getting into mine and I am over 50 yrs old and of course like most my age not as slim and fit as I once was. But I cannot understand all the other complaints about the time it takes to get into the product especially from some of the younger crowd. Maybe your size was too small. I went by what was on the package and it worked fine for me. I had tried the Hanes, Fleexees and other brands for so many years and until I tried these I… read full review »
