Still looked pregnant
★★★★★
People finally stopped asking
My youngest is 4 and I still got the "when are you due" question. I weigh less than I did before her. It's just my lower belly — it never went flat again. The first time I pulled these shorts on under a fitted dress, I looked in the mirror and cried. My belly was smooth. Not gone — held. I wore them to my daughter's school event the next day and nobody said a word about a baby. That was enough for me.

C-section shelf
★★★★★
My C-section shelf is finally invisible
After two C-sections, I have this shelf right above my scar that nothing ever touched. Regular high-waisted stuff always stopped right at the worst spot and pushed it out over the top. These come up past my belly button, so the whole area is covered, from below the scar all the way up. When I button my jeans, there's no pooch spilling over the waistband. I just get dressed and go.

Years after baby
★★★★★
I waited 16 years thinking it was too late
My son is 16. I thought by now I just had to accept the belly. I tried PT for months — the gap closed a little but the pooch stayed. I didn't want a tummy tuck. When I saw the 90-day guarantee I figured I had nothing to lose. They smooth everything from the minute I put them on. I wear them to work every day under my slacks and honestly forget they're there by lunch. I wish I hadn't waited so long.

Shapewear that rolled
★★★★★
First shapewear that stays put when I sit
I have a drawer full of shapewear I gave up on. Every single one rolled down the second I sat at my desk. I'd spend the whole day tugging it back up or just take it off by noon. These have a grippy band inside the waist that keeps them where they are. I sat through a 3-hour meeting yesterday and didn't touch them once. That has never happened. And no seams showing under my pants.

It actually comes in my size and it's comfortable
I've been burned by "one size fits all" so many times. Either it doesn't fit or it digs into my sides until I can't breathe. I ordered the 2XL and it fits. It's snug — that's the point — but it's soft, there are no hooks, and my thighs didn't rub once. I wore them under a dress to my sister's wedding and felt put together for the first time in years. My only wish is that I'd found them sooner.

No time for workouts
★★★★★
I don't have time for PT. This just works.
Between a toddler and a full-time job, I am not doing 30 minutes of core exercises every night. I know I should. I tried for a few weeks and stopped. These shorts don't fix anything — they smooth my belly while I wear them, and honestly that's all I needed. I step in, pull them up, done. I look smooth under a T-shirt dress. When I take them off at night my belly is the same. But during the day? I stop sucking it in. That's worth it.

It's Not Your Weight
Belly Still Giving
You Trouble?
A pooch that won't go, years after baby
A shelf over your C-section scar
Shapewear that rolls down when you sit
So you can stop sucking it in.
It's not your weight. And it's not your fault.
When you were pregnant, your belly muscles moved apart to make room. For 1 in 3 first-time moms, they're still apart a year later.*
So nothing holds the middle anymore. Your jeans dig in right under it. Your shapewear rolls down the minute you sit. Your velcro belt rides up.
None of them ever held it.
*Sperstad et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2016.
How Anchor-Hold™
Holds Your Mom Pooch
Most shapewear has a thin elastic waist. It stops right where your belly folds when you sit. So it rolls.
A Wide Waistband
Not a thin elastic: a wide band that covers your lower belly. Your belly has no thin edge to push down.
Grip On The Inside
The inside of the waistband is lined with grip. It holds to your skin, not to your clothes.
Worn High
Made to wear high, over your belly button. Above the fold your belly makes when you sit, not in it.
Your belly looks smooth from the minute you put it on until you take it off.
Grip Waistband. Wide, with grip on the inside. It holds to your skin, not to your clothes.
Seamless Knit. No seams. Smooth under jeans, leggings and dresses.
Fabric. 49.7% polyamide, 50.3% elastane. Sizes XS to XXL. Golden Beige, Black, Brown.
No Pooch Showing.
For As Long As You Wear It.
No More "When Are You Due?"
Your belly looks smooth under a fitted top. The question stops.
Button Your Jeans. No Pooch On Top.
Your jeans close over a smooth, held belly. Nothing gets pushed up over the waistband.
Stop Sucking It In
It holds your belly for you. So you can breathe, laugh, and eat lunch.

First time wearing jeans without the muffin top. These shorts are doing all the work.

Two babies, one C-section, 18 years later. I can breathe in these and my belly is flat under my dress.
Ashley, 52
★★★★★
Wore them all day at work. Sat for 8 hours straight. They didn't roll once. That never happens with shapewear.
Lisa, 45

I'm a nurse. 12-hour shifts on my feet. No rubbing, no rolling. I put them on at 5 AM and forget about them.

Step in like leggings. Pull it up a bit at a time, legs first. Then pull the waistband high, over your belly button, not at your hips. Smooth the grip flat against your skin. The first time, it feels snug. That's the hold.
Between two sizes?+
Don't size down: wear the size the chart gives you. Smaller won't hold more, it will dig in. Wrong size? We exchange it for free.
My youngest is 8. Is it too late for me?+
No. It holds your belly while you wear it, so it works the same at 1 year or 20 years.
Will it fix my diastasis?+
No. Nothing you wear can repair your muscles. It holds your belly in while you wear it. That's all it promises, and it does it all day. Doing core work with a PT? Wear it alongside, not instead.
I had a C-section. Can I wear it?+
Ask your doctor first. Don't wear it before your scar has healed and your doctor says yes. That's often 6 to 8 weeks after a C-section, but your doctor decides.
How do I wash it?+
Hand wash, or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag. No bleach, no softener. Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or iron.
What if it doesn't work for me?+
You have 90 days. If it's not for you, write to us and get your money back. Wrong size? The exchange is free.
