Product Insights
Spanx Opaque Shaping Tights ($52, in stock) deliver exceptional longevity with a high-rise waistband that never rides down and moderate tummy compression comfortable for all-day wear. The fully opaque legs and cotton gusset eliminate the need for underwear, reducing chafing and VPL while maintaining breathability and moisture control. However, extending their lifespan requires hand washing and air drying to prevent runs, and using the size chart ensures the waistband stays in place.

Tummy-smoothing tights for outfits with shorter hemlines
These opaque tights are designed to firm and flatten the tummy while you wear them, offering comfortable shaping under dresses or skirts. The packaging highlights them as a good match for short hemlines, so you can pair them with shorter silhouettes for a smoother look.[1,2]
Opaque coverage under skirts and dresses
These Spanx shaping tights are intended by the brand for pairing with short hemlines, with tummy shaping and opaque coverage. In product photos on a model, the lower legs from mid-thigh down appear fully opaque with a matte finish and no visible translucency, so legs read smooth under hemmed styles.[2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Opaque Shaping Tights: Choose these if you want black opaque tights with a tummy-firming, flattening function and a wide, high-rise ribbed waistband that reaches above the natural waist. The soft stretch knit of 91% nylon and 9% elastane has a cotton gusset, a closed toe with a smooth toe seam, and lower legs that appear fully opaque, while the upper hip and thigh area is noticeably more sheer and slightly translucent. Sizes run A through D in Black only, and the brand's packaging positions them as comfortable tummy-shaping tights suited to short hemlines.[1,2,3] | Black Body-Shaping Tights: Choose this if you want warm, fully opaque black tights with tummy and thigh shaping and a high-rise waistband that reviewers say stays in place under fitted dresses for office or formal wear. The soft nylon-elastane knit holds up over years of use, though reviewers note the waistband can dig in during all-day wear, especially if you are short-waisted or between sizes, and many recommend sizing up. Expect light-to-moderate smoothing rather than intense sculpting, and note the fabric may pill on the heels after several wears.[4,5,6,7] | Shaping High-Waist Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine: Choose this if you want sheer 20 denier legs with built-in support: an opaque high-waist shaper covers the abdomen, hips, and upper thighs before transitioning to sheer nylon legs, and review summaries describe the high-waist compression as smoothing the belly without digging in, making it a fit for form-fitting outfits and long, all-day wear. The stretch nylon blend (83% nylon, 17% elastane) has a cotton gusset, and sizing runs on a weight-and-height chart with markers from A to G. Note that the same reviews found the shaping experience mixed for some wearers, with one reviewer rating it just average rather than transformative.[8,9,10,11] |
