Mid-Thigh Sheers

In 1998, Sara Blakely was getting ready for a party and realized she didn't have the right undergarments to provide a smooth look under her white pants. Armed with scissors -- and sheer genius -- Sara cut the feet off her control top pantyhose and created her own solution. Two years (and countless prototypes) later, SPANX launched. And that's when the SPANX magic began.

SPANX is the pioneer of targeted compression zones—made with a comfort-first mentality—that support you in all the right places. We offer more than just compressive fabric like at other brands. Instead, we create performance-engineered, thoughtfully selected, and intentionally designed zones that smooth, shape, and sculpt.

It’s technology that has been developed through years (and years!) of fit testing and innovation. It’s the SPANXeffect™—a feeling unique to SPANX, one that’s centered on the core and the effect it has on how you stand, sit, walk. It’s not just tight fabric—it’s a science. It's a framework of fit and feel across 5 compression levels: SPANXsmooth™, SPANXsupersmooth™, SPANXshape™, SPANXsculpt™, and SPANXsupersculpt™. But it's not just about compression—they also offer a wide variety of products that may not offer built-in shaping but still look good and feel amazing.
