Finding good shapewear that gives you the control and smoothness you need under clothes, without being so tight you can barely breathe or eat, is up there with finding a flattering swimsuit.

It's stressful and fraught with failure.

Until now. Our high street stalwart, Marks & Spencer, always gives good underwear, and that also extends to the brand's shapewear, too.

Especially these £29.50 Magicwear™ Tummy Control & Thigh Slimmer Shorts, which are flying off the virtual shelves as we write.

And there's a myriad of great reasons why they're being snapped up by savvy shoppers.

Why we rate it

These Magicwear™ Tummy Control & Thigh Slimmer Shorts are designed to flatten your tummy, slim your hip area, and give you a sleeker silhouette.

They utilise M&S' special Magicwear™ technology which is all about smoothing and controlling, without having to sacrifice comfort.

If, like us, you're concerned about trying to struggle through a day wearing shapewear in the warm weather, M&S has you covered. Of course. The shorts also utilise the M&S Cool Comfort™ technology which is designed to ensure these shorts are cool to wear all day long.

Available in three colours (rich amber, opaline and black), the size range is UK 8 to 22.

No need for special washing instructions, either – you can throw them in the washing machine at 40°C, and you can tumble dry and iron them on cool settings.

Plus there's an added bonus – the shorts also stop thigh chafing, too.

What the reviews say

M&S shoppers especially love that this shapewear gives you a smoother, slimmer-looking silhouette, yet without feeling as restricted as you often can with this type of underwear.

  • "Great product, comfortable and stretchy. Not restrictive around the tummy but holds everything in."

  • "I have always bought Marks and Spencers lingerie, as they are so good to wear and wash brilliantly. These Magicwear are sooooo comfortable/ the best so far and pull me in all the right places, I would definitely recommend them, 10/10 for me!! Thanks again M&S."

  • "I purchased a size 12 so they would fit tight, well they flattened my hips straight away also didn’t feel too tight and held my tummy in."

  • "Does the job of holding your tummy in. Longer length stops thigh chafing. Stays put and does not roll up your legs."
