The Ultimate Shapewear Try-On Haul: Skims vs ASOS vs Cotton On

TLDRIn this try-on haul, I compare shapewear from Skims, ASOS, and Cotton On to find the best one. I try on different shorts and bodysuits and evaluate their comfort, compression, and effectiveness in shaping the body. Some pieces provide better control while others have padding for enhancing the butt. I also address common questions, including whether to wear underwear with shapewear. Overall, the ASOS shapewear offers the most compression, while Skims has a variety of nude shades. The cotton-on shapewear is comfortable but lacks effective control.
