Leonisa Shapewear Shorts Review: Forty-Eight Dollars, a Mid-Thigh, a Colombian Knit
We already did the Leonisa high-waist brief (mesh stripes, twenty-one dollars). This SKU is the short: nude-mauve, a wide waist, a mid-thigh hem, a seat they sell as a lift. Forty-eight dollars. Fourteen hundred reviews. A 3.9. It is not the brief. It is not SPANX Power mid-thigh at thirty-one. It is the Colombian knit with an inseam.
If you wanted a brief, we already wrote that. If you wanted thighs covered and you already like Leonisa’s waist, stay. Size the hip. The bra in the full-body still is not in the box.
Forty-eight dollars is the question. The hem is the answer.
The side still is clean: a high waist, a raw-ish hem, a seat. Their overlays shout no-roll, invisible, prevents thigh rub. Believe the hem for chafe. Believe a knit for hold. Do not believe a Brazilian surgery. Compared with SHAPERMINT shorts you pay double for a name that is not SPANX and a waist that is not silicone-strip theater. Compared with the Leonisa brief you pay for two inches of thigh.
Nude here is a mauve. Match it or the short is a headline. The Size Guide is a firm chart. Between, up if you hate a roll.
Full still. The bra is yours. The short is the SKU. Mauve is a mauve.
Why 3.9, vs SHAPERMINT, skip
Fourteen hundred reviews is smaller than Amazon’s shouty shorts. The 3.9 is heat, a mauve, and a price that wants SPANX. SHAPERMINT is the experiment. SPANX is the catalog name. Leonisa is the third drawer if the brief already fit. Wash cold, hang.
Who it's for
A dress, a mid-thigh, a Leonisa waist you already trust. Not the $21 brief, not a $48 faja, not SHAPERMINT on sale. Size the hip, match the mauve, hang the knit.
Pros
- The Leonisa short — distinct from the brief we already reviewed
- Mid-thigh that can actually argue with chafe
- A named Colombian knit, not a 5-pack
- Stay-put waist without a silicone strip commercial
- Side still matches the cut
Cons
- Forty-eight dollars next to a $25 SHAPERMINT
- Mauve nude is a mauve
- Not a faja
- The 3.9 includes the price shock
- The bra in the still is not included
A $48 Leonisa short. Size the hip, match the mauve, and do not buy it as the brief or as a faja.
