Spanx Vs Assets Shapewear Review – Which Brand Is The Best Girdle For Women?

Many women have discovered the wonderful products that Spanx and Assets Shapewear Company produces. Although both manufacturers produce slimming shapewear that are adept at doing their intended task, there are differences between the two companies that can influence a woman’s preference for one company over another.

Price

The first difference exists in the price. Assets Shapewear is a brand, owned by the Spanx Company, offering a cheaper and more affordable version of Spanx Shapewear. Spanx offers an extensive line of products for women. This line includes full body shapers, bras and panties, swimwear, pantyhose, leggings, and shapewear for men. Assets mainly offers pantyhose, leggings, body shapers of different styles and panties. Inherently, Spanx garments are more expensive. For example, their Super Power Panties retail for approximately $30, while a comparable garment from Assets, Unbelievable Underwear, retails for half that price.

Quality

There’s also truth to the old adage, “You get what you pay for,” which brings up the second difference between the two lines: quality. For most women, the quality and construction of a garment will be the primary factor in determining which brand of product they choose. It is cheaper to make a one-time investment in a more expensive product, like Spanx, than to invest in a cheaper product that would have to be continually replaced. Spanx garments tend to be constructed with materials such as nylon, lycra, Spandex, elastic, and mesh.

On the other hand, Assets products are created from nylon and cotton. These are the same materials that are used in control top pantyhose. The cotton material in each different product line allows the piece to “breathe”; therefore, ensuring the comfort of its wearer. In general, it is believed that the construction of Spanx garments is more effective in contouring and smoothing the silhouette of a woman’s body, because the materials from which it is created are less flexible than the materials used in Assets shapewear. The construction of the garment will invariably influence its effectiveness in performing the intended task.

What do customer reviews say?

If a woman is unfamiliar with shapewear offered by either company, reading professional and consumer reviews of both companies’ products will allow her to determine the effectiveness and quality of a garment from the experiences of others. In general, women found both types of hosiery and other thin garments created by these companies comfortable to wear. There have been a handful of consumers who have had issues with their Spanx stockings ripping or tearing after a limited number of uses. For the price they paid for the item, the quality was expected to be somewhat higher. However, most consumers overwhelmingly agreed that spanx garments were very adept at creating a sleeker silhouette on their figures. More importantly, these slimming shapewear stayed in place throughout the day and through a variety of activities, ensuring that the item would not “ride down”, slip or have to be readjusted.

The main complaint against Assets Shapewear by consumers was that it did not provide enough of a noticeable difference in their figures to justify their purchase. Although most admitted that it slightly smoothed out their figures, the same difference could be achieved by wearing control top pantyhose. Likeable aspects of Assets Shapewear included its ability to dye at the end, its durability, and the variety of color options.
