Sizzling summer style starts underneath — and this shapewear brings the heat. (Amazon)
As a Yahoo resident deal hunter, I’ve always got an eye on the shape of things — especially when it comes to snagging sleek, smoothing shapewear that doesn't blow your budget. I’m talking about everyday essentials that help you feel confident, pulled-together and maybe a little bit invincible — all for a lot less than you’d expect.
That's why I’ve been scouring Memorial Day Sales for discounted shapewear that actually holds up — both in quality and compression. And let me tell you, I’ve found some major gems. We’re talking best-in-class brands at prices that rival Amazon Prime Day. I found a smoothing bodysuit at its lowest price (50% off), tummy-control shorts that will keep you from sizing up your wardrobe and a shapewear top you'll actually want to show off.
Translation? If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your shapewear drawer (or try some for the first time), this is your moment. Just don’t wait too long — sizes are disappearing fast, as will many of the deals once the weekend's over.
This bodysuit has your back — and your front and your thighs. It features firm, three-layer compression to smooth your tummy, sculpt your thighs and support your back, all without sacrificing comfort. The breathable poly/spandex blend helps keep you cool, while adjustable straps let you tailor the fit to your shape. And at 50% off, it's at the lowest price I've ever seen. (Note that prices vary by size and color, and with 12 shades and sizes from XS to 6XL, this one’s going fast.)
"I purchased this to wear underneath a form-fitting dress," shared one dynamo reviewer. "This bodysuit is perfect because it does support the breasts, smooth out back cleavage (lol) and lift the butt. And with all this going on, it feels comfortable and airy. I actually slept in it to control bloating at night."
Not all shapewear is meant to stay under wraps. This standout square-neck cami with reverse triangle straps is designed to be seen — but still does the smoothing work underneath. A built-in mesh shaper flattens the tummy while the bold design looks great solo or layered under a blazer, cardigan or sheer top. Available in five shades and sizes S–3XL, it’s now over 40% off with the sale price and on-page coupon.
Visible panty lines? Not today. These high-waisted control-top undies are made from a seamless nylon-spandex blend that feels like a second skin — smoothing your stomach and waist without squeezing the life out of you. They stay put, stay invisible under clothes, and stay comfortable all day long. Bonus: They're machine-washable, which makes them not just flattering, but practical too. Available in five shades and sizes S-4XL.
One va-va-voomer raved, "First time trying this item. It is just as described. It is comfortable and not too tight. The high waist material doesn't roll down. It has small stays sewn in that help keep it up. The material is soft and breathable. I would buy again."
Got a packed calendar of summer events? You’ll want a go-to piece of shapewear that keeps you feeling confident no matter the occasion. I recommend this number from Skims, designed with the brand’s signature sculpting tech for smooth, flattering support and mid-level compression that’s just right. Available in three colors and sizes XXS-4X, this bodysuit is currently a whopping 60% off — but not for long.
"I was hesitant to try Skims," admitted this reviewer. "The fabric looked like basic nylon in stores. But let me tell you: if you're just looking to smooth your tummy, lift your bust or booty (or all three), this is the one."
Choose from white, beige or black in sizes up to 3XL.
Let's be real — when the summer heat is on, the last thing you want is to add another layer under your go-to breezy dress. But nothing can spoil a fun day like that dreaded chafing on your inner thighs. Spanx to the rescue! These lightweight shorts help prevent those friction-induced rashes. And they're breathable, so you won't overheat. They do triple duty by lifting, firming and smoothing, so you can feel confident and comfortable all day long.
One shopper loved them so much, she bought multiples. "I now have several of these and they are the only things I wear under my dresses. They keep everything tight, but you can still breathe."
This clever bodysuit has adjustable, convertible straps that can be worn in five different ways, including strapless. The all-in-one shaper is designed to smooth out your tummy, waist and rear, and a built-in underwire bra offers added support. You'll love the fabric — it's anti-static, so you can effortlessly slide your clothes on and off without any annoying cling.
One shopper wrote, "I was so pleased with this body shaper. It was pretty, slimmed my tummy and waist. It was perfect for my backless black dress."
This No. 1 bestselling cami is crafted from a 90% nylon, 10% spandex blend — I find it's the sweet spot for just the right amount of stretch and support. Its below-the-hip length helps smooth your entire midsection, keeping things sleek and streamlined. The scoop neckline offers gentle support up top too. Choose from 13 colors in sizes S-4X.
"Shapely and comfortable," revealed this fan. "If you haven't tried Shapermint, you need to buy at least one to try out. Finding the perfect fit is easy. It is tight when you pull it up, but after you ... adjust the fit, you are definitely more shapely and still comfortable."
Made from ultra-soft, breathable modal fabric (a luxe upgrade from rayon), these briefs feel like a second skin — smooth, comfy, and totally seamless under clothes. The high-leg cut creates a leg-lengthening effect, while the stay-put waistband keeps everything in place without digging in. Flattering and functional, they’re perfect for everyday wear. Use the promo code STOCKUP30 to snag 55% off a 3-pack. Choose from three colors — or a multipack of all three. These come in a regular and plus size.
"Finally — after years of searching for the perfect pair of underwear — this is it!" said a repeat buyer. "Love everything about this product and already buying more."
