Reviewers broadly agree the SuperPower Short delivers on its core promise — staying up without rolling, smoothing without suffocating — though the shaping effect is modest rather than dramatic.

The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The SuperPower Short ranks first for shapewear and delivers reliable waistband stability and targeted belly smoothing, but offers modest rather than dramatic shaping—ideal for everyday wear under fitted dresses if you're willing to accept effort pulling it on and sizing that varies between units.

AI summary of 5 reviews · as of Jun 2026
Reviewers broadly agree the SuperPower Short delivers on its core promise — staying up without rolling, smoothing without suffocating — though the shaping effect is modest rather than dramatic.
What they praise
- Plastic boning in the side and back seams keeps the waistband from rolling down during movement, a problem reviewers had with other shapewear
- Targeted compression panel with an X-shaped front section flattens the belly without squeezing the ribcage or cutting off circulation
- Mesh thigh panels taper off compression toward the leg hem, avoiding the visible 'thigh band' bulge that plagues standard shaper shorts
- Stays up and does not ride up on the thigh during normal activity
- Crotch opening allows bathroom access without removing the garment
What they knock
- Shaping effect is smoothing rather than dramatic — reviewers seeking a severe silhouette change will be disappointed
- Snug to pull on and requires careful alignment; getting into them takes effort
- Size range tops out at 3X, which one plus-size reviewer found limiting for bodies above a size 22

What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—shaping effect—directly aligns with video reviewers' note that the smoothing is subtle rather than dramatic, disappointing those seeking severe silhouette change.
In their words
“Looking to contain what mother nature left me to deal with after 1. appendix out, 2. hysterectomy cut laterally and horizontally, 3. gall bladder removal (not laproscopically), 4. hernia mid stomach and 5. intestinal surgery. Needless to say there is certainly some muscle loss and parts of my abdomen area that are not as I would like.”
Isobel W. · verified purchase · honeylove.com
“I bought this item to use as undergarments for my upcoming wedding. I’m 5’3, about 115lbs, and I mainly wanted to target my tummy and waist with any shape wear I was going to buy. I ordered the XS and it arrived in a good time and packaged nicely. After trying on the short, I thought maybe I had ordered the wrong size as they seemed a little big with not much shaping happening with my stomach.”
