Amazon's No. 1 bestselling tummy-control undies are under $4 a pair (over 50% off)

'Flatter my natural curves': Nearly 70,000 shoppers rave about these supportive, full-coverage briefs.

While "cute" might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to tummy-control undies, they're great to have in your dresser when you're looking for a little extra support and comfort. And, let's be honest, comfortable underwear beats cute underwear any day. The thing is, finding a comfortable pair with tummy control can be a tiresome quest. Luckily, unicorns do exist — and nearly 70,000 Amazon shoppers have found one in Wirarpa High-Waisted Cotton Briefs. They say they're much comfier than shapewear, with more coverage than the skimpier styles that seem to be taking over these days. Oh, and the best part? You can snag 'em on sale now for under $4 a pop.

We love these colors, but they also come in a dozen other combos, whether you like brights, pastels, neutrals or all of the above. Get them in sizes XS-5X.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

A multipack of comfy tummy-control panties can run you upwards of $30 — and sometimes you pay that for just one pair from higher-end brands. And since $31 is the regular price for a four-pack, grabbing them for $15 is a great deal. They're also available in multiple 4-pack sets, from neutrals and bright hues to black, white and gray (note that some prices vary by color).

Why do I need this? 🧐

What sets these briefs apart from the rest? They provide moderate tummy control that's not constricting, fans say. These super-softies sit over the belly button to keep you feeling nice and supported, and the extra-thick band won't roll down.

Made of a breathable, sweat-wicking cotton-spandex blend, they're stretchy enough that you'll be able to move around in comfort, while their wide band acts as a supportive panel to help keep everything in place. Another plus? They've got full-coverage backs, in case you're not a fan of "cheekier" undies, and many Amazon customers assure us they don't ride up (the worst!).

You have your pick of 13 different colors, meaning you can grab a nude pack or mix it up with some bright hues. You do you!

What reviewers say 💬

With nearly 70,000 five-star ratings, the Wirarpa High-Waisted Cotton Briefs are bona fide Amazon legends. Reviewers of all ages love them.

Pros 👍

"Finding anything that helps flatter my natural curves can be difficult," wrote this happy shopper. "It's my first time ordering these, and I love them. They are really comfortable. They don't roll down. They don't cut into me ... they smooth out my stomach and backside just enough to look sexy but still realistic. These aren't uncomfortably tight. They don't feel restricting, either ... This shapewear won't 'snatch your waist' like others, but if you just need a little something to hold you together around your stomach and hips, these are great!"

"These are the best panties I have found that actually hold your stomach in," reported a rave reviewer. "I’m not skinny or fat, [but] I have the 50-year-old pooch that does not look smooth in tight clothes. These panties smooth out my tummy and make me look flat-bellied."

"These are the softest, most comfortable underwear I’ve ever worn," raved an enthusiastic fan. "They are more of an everyday thing and, since I am retired, everyday wear is my go-to. By that I mean shorts, jeans, billowing sundresses, etc ... Washing and drying were no problem. These did not shrink or become distorted in any way. Oh, and for the win — no wedgies!"

"Beautiful, colorful and comfortable!" exclaimed another shopper. "I've given up trying to buy panties at stores. Everything is thongs, boy shorts, high-cut, etc. My body just doesn't work with the 'new' panty selection. These panties are wonderful. They are comfortable. The colors are vibrant. I won't buy anything else."

Cons 👎

"Just restrictive enough to keep your wobbly bits from, well, wobbling, but not so much that you're wanting to yank them off in a public bathroom and flush them," said another fan. "Four not five stars because I wish the leg openings were a little bigger, but then they'd maybe ride up, which they don't."

"These are by far the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn," wrote a Wirarpa convert. "They are definitely granny panties, but I am a granny, LOL. So soft, and no thin elastic top like you get with Hanes and others, which makes them awesome to wear if you have medical conditions that prevent you from wearing tight things around your waist. They sit high up on [the] belly but don't squeeze. Would be perfect for pregnancy."

These neutrals should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe.
