This shapewear tank is perfect for holding in your tummy and giving your boobs the right amount of support without the need for a bra. That’s right, you can burn yours immediately (no don’t) because this can totally replace it.

And… it does it without underwires. You’ll get a totally clean line and zero pinching. You’ve gotta love that.

It’s longer than many tanks, so you can tuck it into your pants comfortably. And seriously, you’ll love the slimming effect it creates.

The one potential drawback is the shape of the back which doesn’t allow for easy layering with other tank tops. Then again, it’s sleek enough to wear on its own.

Material

9.0/10

The material is a mix of 69% nylon and 31% elastane. You get softness and comfort without sacrificing anywhere else.

It’s super strong, without rolling at the bottom – and more importantly – it doesn’t push your flesh out at the openings.

That said, it’s a little thicker than some people expect, making it, perhaps, not ideal for layering in summer.

Value

9.2/10

The price is right on these tanks and because they hold up well day-after-day and wash-after-wash, you’re getting a better deal than even the price tag would suggest.
