Leonisa Control Brief Review: Colombian Mesh Stripes, a High Waist, Twenty-One Dollars

Leonisa Control Brief Review: Colombian Mesh Stripes, a High Waist, Twenty-One Dollars

We already did a SPANX Power brief ($33, a name Americans already know) and a Ann Chery cincher (latex, a belt). Leonisa is the other Colombian drawer: nude high-waist brief, opaque face, a hip of horizontal mesh stripes, a bonded-ish edge. Twenty-one dollars. Twenty-three hundred reviews. A 4.1. It is a panty. It is not a faja. The matching bra in the full still is not in this box.

If you wanted mid-thigh, Bali’s slimmer. If you wanted SPANX’s rib-height rise, SPANX. If you wanted a named brief with a mesh hip, stay. Size the hip. The Size Guide, then Leonisa’s chart — they run firm.

The stripe is the hip. The rise is not a nipper.

Mesh at the hip is how this SKU photographs. Under a thin knit it can still be a window. Size the hip. Between, up if you hate a roll. Rise sits under the navel on the close still — that is a high brief, not a rib-height Power Series. Nude is a beige. Match it. The full still with a T-shirt bra is the catalog admitting you still need cups.

Wash cold, hang. Heat welds a $21 net into cardboard. Mesh pills if you let denim eat it.

A brief. The bra is styling. The mesh hip is the design.

Vs SPANX, vs Ann Chery, the 4.1

SPANX climbs higher and costs more. Ann Chery is a belt. Leonisa is the Colombian panty. The 4.1 is people who sized the chart, plus people who wanted a faja and bought a brief. Believe brief. It will not train you. It will smooth a waistband if you match the nude.

Who it's for

A high-waist dress, a mesh hip, a name that is not SPANX. Not a cincher, not a $21 short, not cotton. Size the hip, hang the net, skip the dryer.

Pros

  • A named Leonisa brief — Colombian, not a mystery Amazon control panty
  • Mesh hip that is actually the design
  • Cheaper than SPANX Power
  • 2,300 reviews is a rise that usually lands
  • Distinct from Ann Chery’s latex belt and from a Bali thigh slimmer

Cons

  • Rise is a high brief, not a rib-height nipper
  • Mesh can print under a thin knit
  • The matching bra is not in the box
  • Heat kills the net
  • Not a faja
★★★★★★★★★★
3.9 / 5

A $21 Leonisa control brief. Size the hip, hang it, and do not buy it as a cincher or as SPANX.
