"The Mesh Me Smoothing High Waist Shorts ($65) have two light-beige smoothing panels: one at the front of the shorts that mirrors a high-waist brief (pictured on the top right), and one at the top half of the back of the shorts (pictured on the bottom right). The panels truly felt smoothing, not compressive which made this short so comfortable to wear. The Mesh Me Smoothing High Waist Short also has a silicone band around the waist but no silicone around the thighs, so my thighs never felt chopped in half. Best of all, when I bend over, you can't see my butt through the print." — AW
