I don’t know about you, but one of the biggest confidence boosters out there for me is slipping on a chic dress that looks and feels like it was made. for. you!
To that point, there’s absolutely no shame in the shapewear game–but if you’re logging some serious hours in it (read: weddings, etc.), it has to tick a lot of boxes: structured, high-performing, breathable, and sexy.
I’m asking for a lot, so I’m only putting the best to the test–and that’s Honeylove and SPANX. Here’s how they stack up:
Honeylove’s shapewear feels strong yet smooth, and the targeted compression allows for sculpting (without the squeezing or rolling down). SPANX’s shapewear was easier to put on and take off, but both products I tried were thin, flimsy, and unstructured.
I was constantly tugging and pulling at my SPANX shapewear to get it to stay up (or down), and it would gather in the most unsightly places. Honeylove outperformed Spanx by a long shot thanks to their targeted compression panels, patented boostbands, and flexible boning.
Honeylove’s products, particularly the Queen Brief, effortlessly support, sculpt, and lift to boost my confidence in a body-hugging silhouette. On the other hand, the hem on the SPANX Higher Power Panties is stitched and shows through fabric, causing visible shapewear lines.
SPANX has been in business for decades, so whether you’re looking for a catsuit, jeans, activewear, or thongs, they offer it all in various colors and styles. Honeylove is primarily focused on shapewear, but I love their pretty sleepwear, which has mesh paneling for that extra “oomph.”
If you’ve never felt sexy in your shapewear, it’s because you’ve never met Honeylove’s mesh-paneled pieces–who knew shapewear could look so good? SPANX’s options felt basic and I didn’t feel as confident in them.
I got so much more than I bargained for with Honeylove. Honeylove’s high-quality products are more structured, longer-lasting, sexier, and the best part–no shapewear lines!
