Product Insights
Miiyu's Light-Support Short (4" inseam, $20) offers gentle everyday smoothing with a hem designed to avoid compression lines under skirts, but its 90% nylon/10% elastane fabric differs from the brand's famed soft cotton/modal blend, and buyers report that thigh seams can dig in or show under tight clothing, especially when between sizes; sizing up helps, but thicker thighs may experience ride-up, while slimmer thighs get all-day stay-put, and the short is breathable for summer but provides light support only, not firm compression.
Verified claims
- Compression level
- Gentle everyday smoothing only; not for waist-cinching or tummy-flattening.
- Seam visibility
- Buyers report that seams can dig in or show through under tight clothing, especially when between sizes.
- Hem design
- The 4-inch inseam stops before the thigh's widest point to avoid a horizontal compression line under skirts.
- Chafe protection
- Buyers: thicker thighs ride-up, slimmer thighs all-day stay-put.
- Seam dig-in
- Buyers report thigh seams dig in, causing bulges under tight clothes.
- Inseam
- 4-inch length ends above widest thigh, invisible under short hemlines.
- Coverage
- Buyers report ride-up on taller frames, reducing thigh coverage.
- Seam comfort
- Buyers report thigh seam digs in under tight clothing, creating a bulge.
- Sizing
- Size up if between sizes; stretch may allow usual size; shorts may ride up on large thighs.
- Breathability
- Buyers say breathable fabric keeps them cool and prevents heat buildup during summer.
- Value
- Reddit users recommend Miiyu as an affordable Aerie alternative, but note this short is light support, not firm compression.
- Fabric feel
- At 90% nylon / 10% elastane, this shapewear's fabric differs from the cotton/modal blend that made Miiyu known for softness.
- Brand trust
- Buyers describe Miiyu products as old favourites and swear by the brand, indicating loyalty across categories.
- Care routine
- Hand wash cold and hang dry to preserve elasticity and prevent pilling.

Agréablement surprise.
Agréablement surprise.
J’adore se short bobette
J’adore se short bobette
Very strange fit
Not snug enough in the waist and tummy to offer control and ride up on the thighs so don't prevent chaffing
Tellement doux
Vraiment confortable super doux et pas trop serré aux cuisses. Je le recommande.
Perfect under minis
Worked under my daughter's short dress for formal and made her feel comfortable that she didn't have to worry about showing anything accidentally.
Bof
Trop court, ne prévient pas le frottement et l'irritation des cuisses. Dommage.
Tissu intéressant
Au niveau de la cuisse il y a un serrement à cause de la couture et ça provoque un petit gonflement.
Très confortable
Il tient bien en place, doux et très confortable.
Fait grand
J’ai du le tourner il etait trop grand.
Loved this
Very nice and comfortable
Amazing!
Perfect length, doesn’t roll up and I got thighs! Very stretchy but doesn’t feel tight when stretched.
correct, sans plus
Je le porte sous mes jupes, ça évite le frottement des cuisses. Pas gainant.

Très léger donc camoufle rien. Par contre c’est confortable
Good
First time I ever wore this type of garment and it wasn’t for me. Found it suffocating and restrictive but I get that it’s supposed to tuck you in. The shorts were silky and I didn’t notice them rolling up around my thighs. They were decent for the price.
Très bien

Sous vëtement short
Confort et ajusté. Je l’utilise sous une robe courte. J’ai acheté une taille plus grande pour être moins serrée.
comfortable fit
didn't ride up and was lightweight.

Excellent produit !
Confort
Très confortable, je ne peux plus m’en passer!
Comfy but legs roll
Bought these to wear under skirts and dresses this summer. The fabric is very soft and comfortable to wear. The legs will roll and bunch unfortunately. And light support is effectively zero support. Keeping them because of comfort factor.
Pleasant to wear
It is really light, as the name suggests, and smoothes out things under a tight-fitting dress but will not reduce the size like some firmer support shorts might. I like that it is a bit longer and has no seams that hurt.

Strong endorsement for Miiyu underwear's comfort and breathability
I swear by the miiyu line at Simon's. Specifically the cotton/modal blend that gives a great blend of softness and breathability. They are usually in stock at the Simon's in Rideau Centre. They come in a range of cuts (bikini, hipster, thong, highrise) and colours.
