I wear these under pants to give me that nice smooth look. I love that it extends above the waist so that you don't get that bulge right where it ends. The only drawback is going to the restroom. The opening is small.
This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. If you like being sucked in and compressed, and want to wear tights under pants without anything showing on your ankles, these Capri spanx are perfect. I wear them every day now because they are so comfortable.
Poor quality, they ripped and got huge holes in them the first time I put them on, and ripped all the way to the waist. I would understand if I was rough with them, but I've had drugstore hose that last me for years. They are the equivalent of a pair of control top footless pantyhose for 8x the price. I gave one star because the control top works, but otherwise I just completely wasted 28 bucks.
