2020 has been the year when we opted for comfort over style.

Sitting at home, we collectively decided to shun tight-fighting and restrictive clothing and instead wear soft, warm, comforting - and crucially - affordable clothing to help us through the toughest of times.

And the same should be true when it comes to our underwear.

Which is why we were so excited when we came across the 2pk Light Control No VPL Shaping Shorts from Marks & Spencer.

They are everything we could want from a control pant: soft, comfortable, flattering without being restrictive and easy to keep a secret thanks to their zero VPL design.

Why we love them:

Unlike the shape-wear of old (which were like restrictive tubes for your torso), these shorts are comfortable and comforting. They have been designed with full bum coverage and have super soft seams for a no VPL look - hurrah!

How they work:

These light control briefs provide gentle compression to flatten your tummy and pull in your hips to create a flattering silhouette. The fabric’s added stretch ensures a secure fit for long-lasting support and comfort, even after continual use.

What the reviews say:

  • “This are the most comfortable shorts I have bought and the price is brilliant: £12 for two pairs, I’m definitely buying more.”

  • “Really good to find some very comfortable knickers which fit, cover my tummy and hold the wobbly bits in place and no VPL! Thoroughly recommend - so much so that I bought eight pairs.”

  • “I have been buying this style for a while, I find them good quality and easy to care for.”

  • “These shorts knickers are brilliant - comfortable and wash well.”

  • “Pleased with these as they offer some support around my tummy and are comfortable. Clothing looks better from having them on.”
