We Tried Lizzo's Viral Yitty Shapewear, and It's Worth the Hype

"Pulling this iconic piece out of the box, my eyes went directly to the snap-crotch closure. I was worried that I would feel uncomfortable with the snaps between my thighs, but after throwing the 1X/2X- size bodysuit on, I easily snapped it closed and didn't feel any discomfort. The Mesh Me Smoothing Sleeved Thong Bodysuit ($31) is made of a smooth material that is not itchy at all. While there's no built-in bra, it features a sweetheart neckline stitched at the top that flatters the bust." — Angelica Wilson, associate editor, Fitness

"This Mesh Me Smoothing Midi Top ($23) is going to be my go-to top this summer season. The lightweight mesh doesn't make me feel compressed. There's a light-beige smoothing panel with a sweetheart stitch on the inside to cover the chest, and the top has a silicone band at the bottom hem to keep my size 42G bust from slipping out of this crop top. It feels like a lightweight sports bra, but in the shape of a top. My favorite thing about this top is the print. As someone who frequents summer concerts, these bright colors will fit right in with the festival vibes." — AW

"The Mesh Me Smoothing High Waist Shorts ($65) have two light-beige smoothing panels: one at the front of the shorts that mirrors a high-waist brief (pictured on the top right), and one at the top half of the back of the shorts (pictured on the bottom right). The panels truly felt smoothing, not compressive which made this short so comfortable to wear. The Mesh Me Smoothing High Waist Short also has a silicone band around the waist but no silicone around the thighs, so my thighs never felt chopped in half. Best of all, when I bend over, you can't see my butt through the print." — AW

"I love a pop of color, and this Major Label Smoothing Cross-Front Bralette ($18) delivers on optimism — but the best part is that it's wearable in many different ways. You can go biking in the Major Label High Waist Shorts ($60), and they'll stretch to your liking — or you can style them with a sweatshirt for a casual beach day. You can get a good workout in the top or wear it with denim jeans for a relaxed summer day. The fabric is comfortable and designed for all-day wear." — Shelcy Joseph, associate editor, Fashion

"This Mesh Me Smoothing Sleeved Thong Bodysuit ($31) features a formfitting silhouette with a mesh top and a solid bottom, making it a fun going-out top. The sweetheart neckline adds a touch of femininity, and it lines a built-in bra that can allow you to free the nipples if you'd like." — SJ

"I love the black Major Label Smoothing Cross-Front Bralette ($18) and Major Label High Waist Shorts ($60) because they're so versatile — I can wear them to the gym or to just lounge around on the couch. The V-neck sports bra is flattering (and I like that I can wear it under a lower-cut T-shirt if I want to). I'm a D cup, and the size large supports me well. Plus, who doesn't love a little branding moment? The Yitty waistband is so cute." — Macy Cate Williams, senior editor, Commerce

"If you want some shapewear that majorly compresses, these shorts are it. I feel so supported in both the top and bottom; I love how the fabric smooths me out without making me feel like I'm packed into a sausage casing. Plus, how rare is it to see red shapewear? It makes me feel sexy while still getting the functionality I need." — MW
