Frequently asked questions
Will shaping shorts show under a dress?
Not if the hem is bonded or laser-cut — those finish flat with no ridge. Check the hem type on the product images. Stitched or elasticated hems hold better but can be visible under thin, close-fitting fabric.
How do I stop them rolling down?
Choose a high-waisted style that sits above your natural waist and order your measured size. Rolling is nearly always a sizing problem rather than a design one — going down a size makes it worse, not better.
Do these help with thigh chafing?
Yes, that's one of the main reasons people buy them. A mid-thigh length keeps the skin separated under dresses and skirts. Look for the styles with silicone grip at the hem so they don't ride up during the day.
What is a zip or open crotch for?
It lets you use the bathroom without taking the garment off, which matters on the firmer compression styles that are difficult to pull back up. It's noted in the product description where a style has one.
Can I wear them for exercise?
These are shaping garments, not activewear — they're not built for sweat management. For the gym, the seamless workout shorts in our activewear range are the better choice.
