My honeylove/shapewear review

Amy, on June 19, 2020 at 4:46 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 4 16




Like many of us here, I’ve been on the search for shapewear underneath my dress! I’ve wanted something to cinch me in and smooth me out. I’ve tried on three pieces of shapewear and wanted to share my opinions! Hopefully this can be helpful to someone else as well.


Three types: Corset/Waist cincher, high brief/short, honeylove superpower brief


I took measurements around my natural waist and around my belly button before and during to compare.


Corset/waist cincher by maidenform (I think?) about $30- I loved the shape this gave me, but the torso was too long and it seriously wrinkled in the back. This took 2 inches off my belly, but none on my waist.


Brief/high Short about $30- this was TOUGH to get on lol. The elastic at top kept rolling and creating bulges. It did take half an inch off my waist and 1.5 inches off my belly.


Honeylove superpower short $69-WINNER! There’s a little boning in the side to hold it up- but it doesn’t feel like there is. Clearly you’re still wearing shapewear, but this was certainly the most comfortable. While looking in the mirror, it didn’t seem to “cinch” me like I had thought it would, but that’s where the measurements come in. This took half an inch off my waist and 1.5 inches off my stomach. It did not roll down. I put it on with my gown and it was very comfortable. It also has a pee hole in the crotch.


Overall- I’m super glad I splurged. The quality is certainly higher than something you would get at target or kohl’s.


Here are some pictures of the honey love! For reference I am 5’1 and wear a 12-14. My dress is a 14W.


I will post a coupon in the comments if you want to try it. I used someone else’s 20 off when I got mine so it was $69 instead of $89. My honeylove/shapewear review 1My honeylove/shapewear review 2

    That's good. I ordered from Shaperwear and my only concern is should I have gone smaller so it fits tighter but it fits comfortable and I wanna wear for our honeymoon for some of the dresses I bought for the evening. Glad you found something.

    Yeah, I was concerned about that too. But i don’t want it to bulge in other places so I think the fit was right. But since honeylove had a lengthy return time, I felt better about it. Have fun on your honeymoon!

    No I feel you. I am not returning because if and when we go we are going to eat a lot so my stomach will bulge. I agree I would rather comfortable for long wear and to not bulge like you said.

    Loved the Honeylove it took some time to decide myself i was by a second ready to buy shapermint but opted for honeylove only bc i read some bad reviews on it. And i so do not regret getting the honehlove its so good. I used it once not for the wedding yet but it was great i got at regular price but i dont regret one bit.

    I love my. I got the short one and was worried it would dig in - at thighs, waist, etc. super comfy and definitely sucks it in.

    Ive been debating on buying this but I’ve only heard good things about honey love. Especially for those with extra curves. Lol Thank you for sharing your $20 off coupon. I just purchased mine and can’t wait for it to come in. 🥰❤️
