Product Insights
The Spanx Black Body-Shaping Tights ($52 CAD) deliver medium compression that rivals dedicated shapewear, with a seamless non-rolling waistband that stays up without pinching. Sizing options A–D (0–14) require a tradeoff: size up for easier donning and comfort, size down for firmer shaping; first-time donning is difficult but eases after two wears. A cotton gusset eliminates VPL and makes underwear optional. Buyers report shape retention for up to five years, durability exceeding a year with wear at the heels rather than running, and tummy and thigh shaping comparable to purpose-built shapewear. For optimal fit, some size up and lock the waistband under a bra strap to prevent rolling. Care includes hand washing and air drying to extend life. At half the price of comparable Wolford tights, these tights serve office, winter, and casual wear, replacing traditional shapewear and panty lines. Only the black colorway is accurate; red appears orange.
Verified claims
- Size selection
- A=0-2, B=4-6, C=8-10, D=12-14; size up (prevents roll) or down (firmness) between sizes.
- Care
- Over time, the tights stretch and slide, but hand washing and air drying extend life.
- Compression
- Medium compression flattens the tummy and smooths the silhouette, and can be adjusted by choosing a smaller or larger size.
- Value
- $52 CAD — half the price of Wolford's medium compression tights.
- Waistband design
- Seamless non-rolling waistband stays up without pinching and feels comfortable enough to forget when correctly sized
- Waistband hacks
- Sizing up or locking waistband under bra strap prevents rolling and digging
- Durability
- Buyers report tights lasting over a year and wearing by pilling at heels rather than running.
- Donning effort
- First-time donning is hard but fabric yields after two wears.
- Sizing
- When between sizes, choose the smaller size for firmer shaping or the larger size for added comfort.
- Wearer tips
- Buyers position waistband above bra line and attach bra straps for secure fit.
- Cotton gusset
- Cotton gusset provides breathability and eliminates VPL by making underwear optional.
- Material
- Cotton-blend gusset (55% nylon, 45% cotton) eliminates VPL and makes underwear optional.
- Shaping
- Buyers report strong tummy and thigh shaping while the tights remain comfortable enough for all-day wear.
- Color accuracy
- A reviewer notes the red colorway appears orange in person, not as shown on screen.
- Wear scenarios
- Worn for office and winter outfits, and the cotton gusset eliminates visible panty lines.
- Fit
- They run snug, and many users size up for comfort and to prevent roll-down; waistband comfort can vary, and some buyers find it digs.
- Shape recovery
- Users note the tights keep their shape and supportive compression through many wear-and-wash cycles.
- Opacity
- The tights are opaque with solid, sheer-free coverage on the legs.
- Toe seam
- The toe area is tailored to the foot rather than a straight tube, reducing pressure points and friction in closed-toe shoes.
- All-day comfort
- The non-pinching waistband, cotton gusset, and snug fit combine to make the tights comfortable enough to forget during all-day wear.

Smoothing the tummy and thighs under everyday outfits
These opaque tights are designed to firm and flatten the tummy, and reviewers report thigh and tummy shaping that rivals dedicated shapewear. They're worn under casual outfits like jeans or loose skirts for a smooth silhouette without feeling restrictive, though reviewers note the shaping is moderate rather than intensely sculpting. The high-rise waistband stays in place and adds to the shaping effect.[1]
Under dresses for the office and formal events
Reviewers report wearing these tights under fitted dresses for work and formal occasions, saying the high-waist band stays in place without rolling so they avoid constant adjustments. The fabric is described as soft enough for all-day wear, and some wearers also use them under jeans or loose skirts for a smooth, non-restrictive silhouette. Some report the waistband can dig in, especially for short-waisted wearers or those between sizes, with sizing up suggested as a workaround.[1]
Wearing with skirts in cold weather
Customer reviewers report these Spanx tights are opaque and warm enough to wear with skirts in cold weather, with some saying they can replace heavier winter tights. The opaque finish also shows up in the product photos, and Spanx's own packaging describes the tights as opaque.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Black Body-Shaping Tights: Choose this if you want opaque black tights with tummy and thigh shaping that reviewers say rivals dedicated shapewear, for office or formal wear under fitted dresses or for warm winter layering with skirts. The high-rise waistband stays in place without rolling, though it can dig into the stomach—especially if you're short-waisted or between sizes—so reviewers commonly suggest sizing up for comfort. Expect a smooth silhouette rather than intense sculpting, and note that black is the colorway reviewers describe as reliable.[1] | Opaque Shaping Tights: Choose these if you want black shaping tights that the retailer describes as firming and flattening the tummy, with a wide high-rise ribbed waistband and a cotton gusset. They pair opaque lower legs and feet with a semi-sheer upper hip and thigh area, in a soft stretch knit of 91% nylon and 9% elastane, and the brand positions them as comfortable and perfect for short hemlines. Sizes A through D are offered, selected via a height-and-weight size chart, so check that chart before choosing a letter size.[3,4,5,6] | Shaping High-Waist Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine: Choose this if you want sheer 20 denier pantyhose with a comfortable, high-waisted built-in shaper: customer feedback describes high-waist compression that smooths the belly and body without digging in, an opaque shaping short covering the abdomen, hips and upper thighs that transitions to sheer legs, and comfortable fabric with firm support reviewers say holds up for long hours. It is made of 83% nylon and 17% elastane and features a cotton gusset. Note that some users expected more noticeable shaping or durability, and one reviewer found it just average.[7,8,9] |

Unfortunately they dig
Not sure if this is an older product of Spanx, but I was looking for something that wouldn't dig, and thought these Spanx tights would do the trick, but they don't. Of course I expect a little, and these do fit TTS, but I'm not sure if we will ever find tights that don't dig.

Très bien merci

Si je pouvais, j’apposerais 10 étoiles
Excellent produit. Souvent, je trouve que les collants de manière générale ne sont pas suffisamment gainants au niveau des cuisses et sont trop courts pour moi, ce qui fait que je suis toujours en train de les remonter. Avec ce collant Spanx, je suis parfaitement à l’aise et il est magnifiquement gainant. Je n’ai pas trouvé qu’il était du tout trop serré à la taille. J’ai pris la taille C (je pèse 155 lbs, et je mesure 5’8), qui était parfaite.
Perfect fit and very Comfy
Bought 2 pairs to replace a pair that I had for years. Excellent quality and fit.
