Control briefs are panties that offer moderate to firm control to the tummy, while it smoothes out the hip and rear area. Control briefs come in many different configurations, depending on the needs of the wearer. Control briefs may have a regular waistline or be high-waisted for waist shaping. They also have different leg lengths, anywhere from at the hip, to the upper mid thigh (boyshorts), or to a longer leg to smooth the hips and thighs. Control briefs are the perfect shapewear option to pair with form fitting pants and skirts.
