Product Insights
The Smooth Comfort High-Waist Control Short by Chantelle provides light to medium daily shaping with a soft, silky, moisture-wicking fabric that resists pilling and bagging. Its 9-inch inseam blocks thigh chafing, while seamless legs, a knit-in logo, and a silicone-free doubled waistband prevent irritation and stay in place without rolling or ride-up. Four-way stretch with 19% spandex recovers shape, and the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification ensures skin safety. At $80 CAD, this mid-price daily shaper from a Parisian heritage brand combines comfort, durability, and reliable performance for chafe-free wear under clothing.
