Marks and Spencer's 'slimming' £20 bodysuit is 'flattering' and hides the tummy under Spring dresses, say reviewers

Reviewers who have tried Marks and Spencer's (M&S') 'magic' shapewear have praised how 'slimming' and 'flattering' it is. After putting on the £20 shaping bodysuit, customers say they felt more confident.

For many, SPANX is the first brand you think of when buying shapewear - I know I do. But while SPANX is undoubtedly exceptional when it comes to slimming underwear, for many, the price can be a little too high.

Because of this, shoppers look for more budget-friendly alternative options from trusted retailers like Marks and Spencer and Boux Avenue. M&S currently has 20% off its shapewear, and one of its most highly rated shapewear items, the Body Define Firm Control Wear Your Own Bra Bodysuit, is now £20 instead of £25.

The £20 M&S Body Define Firm Control Wear Your Own Bra Bodysuit comes in two different colours - Black and Rose Quartz. It's available in sizes 8 to 24.

The figure-framing bodysuit has a firm hold, and is finished with sheer striped inserts. It also allows you to wear your own bra with it - which, in my experience of shapewear, is an added bonus, as it means your cleavage will be perfectly covered, and you don't have to worry about the cups leaving things to overflow, which can create the illusion of rolls.

The Body Define Firm Control Wear Your Own Bra Bodysuit has had more than 300 five-star reviews on the Marks and Spencer website. Shoppers say it's ideal for wearing under Spring and Summer dresses if you're looking for a confidence boost.

One five-star reviewer said: "I bought a size larger than my usual dress size and it fits perfectly. It gives a nice smooth outline under clothes." A second wrote: "The best shapewear i have ever had and i have tried a lot! It smooths everything down comfortably without feeling trussed up. A fabulous product, i would advise to go a size up from your regular size for an absolute great fit. Well done M&S."

A third M&S customer said of the £20 Body Define Firm Control Wear Your Own Bra Bodysuit: "Smooth lines and very very comfortable. Fits nicely, no tight bulgy bits, easy to put on and take off. Very comfortable to wear."

"Really comfortable to wear and smoothes out all the wrinkles and bumps. love that I wear my own bra with it," said somebody else. Another satisfied reviewer said: "Comfortable and flattering! Does exactly what it's supposed to and stays in place. Perfect that I can wear my own bra etc. underneath. This is the second one I've bought, the first one lasted a good 6 years and is still going strong, I just wanted one in beige to wear under lighter coloured clothes."

The Body Define Firm Control Wear Your Own Bra Bodysuit is £20 instead of £25 for a limited time on the Marks and Spencer website. Everything currently included in Marks and Spencer's 20% off shapewear offer can be found here.
