How firm is the control?

It is Maidenform's extra-firm level, the strongest in its shaping brief line. It compresses the tummy and waist noticeably more than light or moderate shapers.

Does the waistband roll down?

The elastic waistband is designed to stay put, and many owners say it does. Some wearers still report rolling, especially after long hours or with a short torso.

How does it compare with a shaping bodysuit?

It targets the tummy, waist and rear only, so it is easier to put on and use for bathroom breaks than a full bodysuit. A bodysuit smooths more of the torso but feels more restrictive.

What is the cotton gusset for?

The cotton liner at the crotch adds breathability and comfort for all-day wear. It is a common feature on shaping briefs that lighter-control styles sometimes skip.

Many owners say it runs small and recommend sizing up for comfort. If you are between sizes, the larger one gives the same hold with less pinch.

Our take on the Maidenform Women’s Shapewear High Waist Extra Firm Shaping Brief

A high-waist shaping brief from Maidenform built for extra-firm control through the tummy, waist and rear. A stay-put elastic waistband and rear seam keep it from rolling or slipping, and a cotton gusset liner adds comfort for all-day wear. It suits shoppers who want strong smoothing under dresses and fitted outfits. Against lighter-control shapers it gives more hold but less breathability, and reviewers rate it solidly overall while some find the compression firm and the waistband prone to rolling on long days.
