Do sculpting panties work?

The + classic Playtex

Top. Our belly is well plated and hidden and our love handles have flown away. We are a little tight but very well maintained:sculpted body effect at the rendezvous.

Flop. It goes up high, very high, just below the bra:suddenly, the panties roll up a little on themselves when you're seated and a mini sausage forms just at the level of the elastic... not super glamorous .

Verdict. We adopt it for its effectiveness, but not tenable on the day, we are too cramped. Perfect, the time of an evening for the red carpet effect!

EXPERT MODEL IN BLACK SILHOUETTE, €42.

La Redoute + comfort

Top. Gaining but not embarrassing! It is easy to put on, rises exactly to the height you need and immediately flattens everything that exceeds. We also like its black lace which breaks (a little) the granny effect.

Flop. It is a little too thick and therefore too hot for the summer (we sweat) and is visible under a tight dress.

Verdict. Overall, we feel pretty good in it and it does what we ask of it, its low price convinces us.

SHAPING BRIEFS LA REDOUTE, €29.99.

The + invisible Lou

Top. A real second skin, very fine, very soft, which remains discreet all day. Validated under a tight or light dress:nothing sticks out, you don't suspect it, and you end up forgetting it.

Flop. Without seams but not really “seam”! She rides high, is flesh-colored... In short, we understand each other.

Verdict. A big yes for its comfort and finesse but if you plan to sleep the first night, you will have to assume. LIG CARAMEL MODEL, 49 .

The most efficient Bestform

Top. Winning trio:sheathed stomach, blurred hips, refined waist. Our silhouette is redesigned all along the line. On the look side, we love its small graphic stripes which give it a vintage swimsuit look.

Flop. Ouch, it shears! We are (very) tight at the top at the level of the elastic (thick enough to hold in place) and also towards the groin. Hard at first, even if, oddly, you get used to it.

Verdict. It's a bit of a Scarlett O'Hara corset, but it really works:we save it for the big nights.

BODY PERFECT MODEL, APPROXIMATELY €25.

The most romantic Dim

Top. We love its little white lace and its finesse which make it completely invisible under our clothes. In terms of comfort, it's a real pleasure, you don't feel it all day. We also like its price, rather low for a maxi panty.

Flop. It is not the most effective:a bit sheathed, our hips are far from being erased, the same for our belly which is maintained but not really flattened, therefore always there. Too bad!

Verdict. Perfect for those who have few bulges to hide and who want panties that support lightly.

DIAM’S CONTROL FEMALE PEARL MODEL, APPROXIMATELY €30.
