It’s trendy, it’s comfy, it’s easy, but… it’s $120. I’ve tried a lot of alternatives and I finally found the best one on Amazon! It’s about a third of the price, it looks almost identical, and it’s actually softer on the inside.

Fit note. On the Lululemon scuba she sized up to the M/L for a cozy fit. On the Amazon hoodie she sized up to a medium and was wearing the color grey.

Appearance wise, these look totally identical. I had to hold my hands differently so I could remember which was which. Feel and quality wise, the Spanx are thicker and have more compression. The Amazon pair does have compression but not quite as much.

Fit note. Sizing is very comparable in the waist, thighs, and length. The Spanx come in petite but the Amazon ones do not. I am 5’7 and I don’t have to cuff, but anyone with shorter legs than me may have to cuff the Amazon pair. I wear my true size small in both.
