Shapermint is currently offering a Black Friday in July up to 70% off sale. If you’re considering placing an order, here’s a honest review from a mom of 3 who fell for the hype a while ago.
On shapermint.com the bras look buttery soft, wire-free, and body positive. The models are all shapes and sizes, smiling confidently in their matching sets.
So, did they live up to the hype? Here’s the real story.
About Shapermint
Shapermint is an online retailer focused on shapewear, bras, and body-smoothing essentials. They’re known for promoting body confidence and comfort, with an inclusive approach to sizing and fit. Their most popular lines include wireless bras under the Truekind name, which promise full support and all-day comfort; no wires, digging straps, or stiff cups.
From bras and panties to high-waisted shaping shorts, Shapermint positions itself as the go-to destination for everyday smoothing essentials.
My experience trying Shapermint Bras and Shapewear
As a postpartum mom with a body that’s still healing and reshaping itself, I really appreciated how forgiving these bras are. The Truekind Daily Comfort Bra is soft, stretchy, and supportive enough for day-to-day mom life. No wires, no pinching, no pulling.
The Wireless Modern Scoop Neck Bra gives slightly more structure and shape—great under a fitted tee or when you want to feel a little more “put together” than usual.
The shapewear was also a win. I wore it under a dress for a birthday dinner and, for the first time in ages, didn’t feel like I had to keep tugging or adjusting it all night.
But the shopping experience? Rough.
I placed my order through what looked like their local site. The prices appeared in my local currency, but I was still charged in USD—a detail I only realized after checking my bank statement. International buyers, take note.
Then came shipping drama. My order was handed off to a no-name delivery service. It was misdelivered not once, but twice. The first time, it disappeared completely. The second time, a kind neighbor dropped it off. Definitely not the seamless experience I expected from a big-name brand.
To top it all off, I accidentally opted into the Shapermint Club, a monthly membership that charges you for store credit. I only caught it after noticing recurring charges on my card. To cancel, I had to go through their help portal: https://help.shapermint.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. It took a few days to resolve, but they eventually canceled it.
Is Shapermint a Legit Company?
Yes, Shapermint is a legitimate company. They’re well-known and have been featured in major publications like Buzzfeed, Today, and Cosmopolitan. They sell through their official website and also have a presence on Amazon.
That said, being legit doesn’t mean they’re perfect. Their products are real and do work, but the checkout process can be confusing, especially with the sneaky subscription option. And based on my experience, their shipping and delivery system could use major improvement, especially for customers outside the U.S.
P.S. Want the same level of comfort without the shipping drama? Check Amazon.com for alternatives from Warner’s, Playtex, or Bali. They’re just as soft, cost-effective, and return-friendly—no membership required.
Is the Shapermint Bras Worth It?
If we’re talking comfort and quality alone, yes, the Shapermint bras are worth trying. They’re soft, supportive, and perfect for bodies that need a break from wires, padding, and pressure. The Truekind Daily Comfort Wireless Bra especially lives up to its name. I genuinely reach for mine every day.
But factor in the buying experience, surprise currency conversion, unreliable delivery, and sneaky membership charges—and it’s not such a smooth ride. So while the bras are worth it, the experience comes with a few red flags you need to be aware of.
Would I buy again? Maybe. But only with eyes wide open and my hand nowhere near that subscription checkbox.
Shapermint vs. Truekind: What’s the Difference?
If you’re confused about whether to search for Shapermint bras or Truekind bras, here’s the deal:
Truekind is a brand under the Shapermint umbrella that specifically focuses on ultra-comfortable, wireless bras and everyday intimates.
Shapermint, on the other hand, is the parent company that sells Truekind products, along with a broader range of shapewear, body shapers, and accessories from various labels.
So when you’re buying a Truekind bra, you’re still shopping through Shapermint—but think of Truekind as their specialized “comfort bra” line. It’s like the best friend in their lineup—and the one I personally liked the most.
What to Expect When Shopping from Shapermint
- They may charge you in USD, even if your cart shows your local currency
- They’d offer you free shipping, but behind that offer is a paid monthly subscription fee. And if there’s a way to opt out of that it’s very cleverly hidden
- Shipping can be hectic. Shapermint use an unreliable shipping company, and when there’s a problem such as misdelivery, they’d tell you to contact the shipping company and not them.
- The Shapermint Club is an optional membership that’s easy to overlook at checkout—read carefully
- Customer service exists, but response times may be delayed (mine took over 48 hours)
- Returns aren’t free, you’d only be offered a coupon or made to pay exorbitant return shipping cost in US dollar.
Pros
- Soft, wireless bras ideal for postpartum and everyday wear
- Truekind bras live up to comfort claims—no wires, no pressure
- Shapewear holds without suffocating
- Inclusive sizing and realistic, body-positive marketing
Cons
- Sneaky subscription opt-in at checkout
- USD charges even for international shoppers
- Clunky delivery partners outside the U.S.
- Difficult to cancel the Shapermint Club
- Returns and refunds take patience
Final Thoughts
If you’re a tired mama trying to reclaim your comfort (without giving up on support), Shapermint’s bras especially from the Truekind line are genuinely good. I still wear mine almost every day. But getting to that point wasn’t easy. Between the subscription trap, misdelivery madness, and unexpected charges, the process was more stressful than it needed to be.
If you do decide to shop, my advice? Triple-check your cart, avoid the membership, and be prepared for hiccups especially if you’re shopping from outside the U.S.
Hope this review saves you the same postpartum bra rollercoaster I went through!
