Are these true shapewear or just high-waisted leggings?

They are shapewear leggings: the high rise and firm fabric are meant to smooth the waist, hips and thighs, not just sit high.

Do they show through when bending or squatting?

Owners describe the fabric as thick and opaque, so they hold up in everyday bending and sitting better than thin leggings.

How do they fit compared with regular leggings?

They run snug because of the compression. Many buyers size up for comfort, especially for all-day wear.

Can I wear them all day?

Some owners do, but the firm compression and waistband are the common complaints for long days. They suit shorter wear or layering better.

How do they compare with plain high-waist leggings?

Plain leggings are softer and stretchier. These trade some comfort for smoothing and a waist that stays put.

Our take on the Spanx Women's High Waist Leggings

Spanx High Waist Leggings are shapewear leggings in a black, high-rise cut that pulls the waist in and smooths the hips and thighs. They sit at the waist rather than the hip, so they stay put under dresses and tunics and work as a base layer or on their own. Reviewers like the smoothing effect and the opaque fabric, but the 3.3 average reflects complaints about compression that feels tight and a waistband that can roll or dig in during long wear. Compared with plain high-waist leggings, you pay for the shaping rather than for stretch or softness.
