Shapewear Showdown: Shaping Shorts Versus Faja... Tested Benefits Reveal Surprising Power! We’ve long debated whether shaping shorts or faja body shapers deliver the hidden power of tummy control. When we tried SHAPERMINT High-Waisted Tummy Control Shorts, the results were instantly striking. The smooth, seamless design mimics underwear, so ours never felt restricted—just elegantly supportive. Yet, the high-waist haul lifted and flatted our mid section without the tightness of a faja. What surprised us was how breathable the shorts were, even after hours of wear. While a faja offers extensive shaping, these shorts proved just as effective with concentrated control where it matters most. Though the faja remains a personal favorite for all-day smoothing, the short’s discreet performance now has us genuinely impressed. The verdict? Both are winners, but for quick, targeted lifts, our shapers are unstoppable.
