Multiple reports describe a test of a new men’s shapewear range sold by Marks & Spencer (M&S). The articles, published by the Daily Mail and Mail Online, feature reporter Simon Mills assessing whether the garments can visually smooth areas such as back fat and “side flubber.” The coverage frames the trial as a practical evaluation of the shapewear’s effect on appearance when worn.
Both outlets focus on the same premise: whether the low-cost items—described in one report as costing £9—help create a more streamlined silhouette. The articles are structured around the tester’s personal attempt to judge comfort and appearance outcomes, rather than providing technical manufacturing details or independent measurements. While the pieces emphasize the potential smoothing effect, they also present the assessment as subjective, based on the reporter’s own wear and impressions.
No additional, independently verified data about performance, durability, or medical claims appears in the provided summaries.
