The women’s shapewear leggings market is highly competitive. One of the brands we watch closely, the high-quality compression wear brand Fanka, recently released an upgraded version of their bestselling leggings with the latest compression-sculpting technology, we decided to put them through a strict test.
The results were impressive. Fanka leggings continue to deliver the same high level of performance and comfort the brand is known for. The product already has more than 10,000 satisfied buyers. To give them a fair review, we invited volunteers of many different body types and sizes to test them. Heights ranged from 5’1” (size 2) to 5’10” (size 16). An impressive 98% of testers gave these leggings high praise for their shaping and support.
What makes Fanka stand out is their patented PowerLift Tech. The fabric features 3D-printed compression lines that provide targeted support—up to 4 times stronger than regular fabric. Unlike the 1.0 version, the 2.0 design adds extra 3D compression lines around the waist and abdomen. This improves waist shaping while keeping the leggings comfortable. They work almost like a supportive waist belt. But unlike traditional shapewear, there are no plastic panels. And they never roll down.
Postpartum & Core Support
Why they’re great: These leggings use a unique 3D design inspired by kinesiology tape. The structure hugs the waist and abdomen and supports the core muscles. This helps tighten and shape the midsection. Our editor Linda was the first to notice this benefit. She recently had a baby and was looking for gentle abdominal support. The tummy control impressed her right away. In fact, 95% of testers said their stomach felt noticeably more supported when wearing them.
After two weeks, Linda noticed something surprising. Her postpartum belly looked firmer and more lifted. Several other new moms in the test group reported the same experience.“I can barely tell I had a baby,” one XXL tester shared. Compared with expensive postpartum recovery treatments, wearing these leggings during daily activity or exercise may be one of the most affordable ways to help restore your pre-baby shape.
Smooth Cellulite & Shaping Effects
Why they're great: This feature quickly became a favorite in our editorial team. Almost every editor with visible cellulite noticed some improvement while wearing these leggings. In our test, 99% of participants said their hips looked more lifted and their legs appeared slimmer.To take the test further, we compared two groups of participants who exercised daily and photographed their thighs. After two months, the group wearing the Body Sculpt 7/8 Leggings 2.0 showed faster improvement in the appearance of cellulite compared to the control group.
One participant who previously had liposuction even said the leggings helped support and tighten her loose skin. She called the results “a pleasant surprise.”
Knee Recovery Support
Why they’re great: Almost all testers loved this feature. It was especially popular among medical workers who spend long hours standing. One hospital director was so impressed that she decided to buy a pair for her staff. She described the leggings as: 1）Comfortable; 2）Practical; 3) Supportive enough to help relieve soreness.
Another tester (size L) with a knee injury said they felt “like doctor-recommended compression pants—but much more comfortable and stylish.” For anyone dealing with joint discomfort, these leggings combine style, comfort, and real support in one simple piece.

Great quality leggings for a great price
I’ve always been ridiculously nervous about ordering leggings because I do not take it easy on my workout clothes. I work out at least four days a week and will wear leggings/shorts until they literally fall apart. My biggest worries with leggings are them being see-through and not staying up. These leggings are amazing. They check all the boxes for me. They’re squat-proof, sweat-proof, and flattering. Honestly, they’re just as nice as what they promoted. If you’re on the fence, just get them!

True to size
Love theseeeeeee. At least try these for yourself! I ordered a size large, which is my typical size in lulu. My butt looks amazing in these. The belly get sucked in and it’s still great for compression! I could have size down to a medium but these are comfortable. I read the reviews and ordered a large which I felt was true to size!

Makes the booty look juicy
I love working out so finding the perfect leggings is a hit or miss. I read the reviews here and thought I’d give it a try since they’re all good, and omg, they are THE BEST leggings I’ve EVER had. And im talking about the way it shapes your body and buttocks. The butt part is kind of a rub elastic that rides up your butt, and if you don't like that you can wear the plain side. I’m 5’9 so im pretty tall and these fit perfectly on my long legs. I’m sooo excited, I knew they were going to be a good fit, but I didn’t expect it to be like THAT when I first tried them on, i wish they have more colors😭.
