Here’s an interesting bit of news. UK Consumer review site Which? evaluated several men’s slimming undershirts selling in the UK, and found the Asada (Walmart UK subsidiary) Shape Enhancer T-shirt (£7, $10.78 USD) to be the best of the bunch.
Which? man-vest test
We tested the vests for wearability and how they lived up to their marketing claims, which include ‘will forever change the way you look and feel in your clothes’ and varied promises to improve the posture, firm the chest, flatten the stomach and narrow the waistline.
Lingerie lecturer and technical designer Laura Savery applauded Asda’s Shape Enhancer t-shirt for ‘lighter-weight fabric with knitted support panels in the right places and a smooth shape’, and in our tests it also out-performed vests costing nearly eight times as much.
The £55 Spanx Cotton Compression Crew undershirt was judged a good runner-up, with its effects including noticeable chest improvement.
Here’s how Which? ranked the slimming undershirts they tested (from best over all performance to worst):
- Asda Shape Enhancer T-Shirt (£7, $10.78 USD)
- Spanx for Men Cotton Compression Undershirt (£55, $58 USD)
- Equmen Core Precision Undershirt (£49, $99 – 109 USD)
- RipT Fusion Body Sculpting Undershirt (£52, $44 USD)
- Marks & Spencer Bodymax Plus Extra Shaping (£29.50, $xxx USD)
- Marks & Spencer Bodymax Short Sleeve Vest (£15, $xxx USD)
Hmmm, I might have to go out and get me one!
Has anyone compared it to the one available at walmart since its the same company?
hey david, does walmart have a shaper undershirt like that asda shape enhancer? if so, i didn’t see it last time i visited walmart one or two months back.
FYI: It’s ‘ASDA’ not Asada.
many thanks for the correction! can’t believe i misspelled each occurrence of the name like that! all have been corrected.
also, it appears this product is no longer available. guessing it wasn’t a big enough seller?
