Fanka Review and Order Details
I ordered the below items on 10/4/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $237.98 to Fanka via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *F6U6G”. – View Order Confirmation
1) Body Contour Set: Jacket
- Color, Size, and Cost: Black / M / Jacket and Leggings Set: $173.99 Separate: $109.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 75% Polyamide, and 25% LYCRA
- Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
- Quality: In my opinion, the quality is good. It is comparable to an activewear jacket you might find at Victoria’s Secret.
- Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits well. View my body measurements for size reference.
- Keep or Return: I would keep this Fanka jacket. I love the smooth, and breathable material, the semi-roomy pockets, and the long sleeves. It overall feels well made. An interesting thing to note is that the white lines are 3-D. They feel squishy and fuzzy. While they are firmly attached to the material, I could peel them off if I tried. This does make me feel concerned about how many washes this could take before they come off.
2) Body Contour Set: Leggings
- Color, Size, and Cost: Black / M / Jacket and Leggings Set: $173.99 Separate: $94.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 75% Polyamide, and 25% LYCRA
- Expectation: They are exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
- Quality: In my opinion, the quality is good. They are comparable to activewear leggings you might find at Victoria’s Secret.
- Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits one size too small. View my body measurements for size reference.
- Keep or Return: I would return these Fanka leggings. While I love the no-front seam, the butt-lifting shape, and the contouring compression, the lines pointing down at my crotch are a little bit weird visually, and they are too small. If they were one size bigger, I would probably keep them. These also do a great job of lifting your butt. They give me a noticeably perkier profile. As with the jacket, the white lines are 3-D. I worry about how many washes these could take before the 3-D lines start to come off.
3) Body Sculpt 7/8 Leggings (Reversible Wear)
- Color, Size, and Cost: Barrier Reef / M / $63.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 70% Polyamide, and 30% Elastane
- Expectation: They are exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
- Quality: In my opinion, the quality is good. They are comparable to activewear leggings you might find at Victoria’s Secret.
- Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits a bit small in the waist, but I think sizing up would be too big overall. View my body measurements for size reference.
- Keep or Return: I would return these Fanka leggings. The two things I like about them are that they are reversible, and they do provide a bit of butt lift. As for the negatives, firstly, front seams tend to ride up into my crotch (these are no exception). Secondly, these feel a little bit thinner than the body contour leggings, and I prefer thicker and sturdier leggings (as opposed to ones that feel like a second skin). Thirdly, the waist is a bit tight, but sizing up would likely be too big everywhere else. And finally, I personally don’t like bright-colored leggings due to how visible everything is (sweat, body shape, etc.).

Do I Recommend This Shop?
Based on my experience, they are a legitimate shop. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, successfully completed a return, and received a full refund.
With that being said, I would shop here again!
The overall quality is quite good! My primary issues with the activewear are that the sizing seems a bit small (for the bottoms), and the prices seem a little high. I would be willing to pay the higher price tag if the leggings fit me perfectly though.
I would personally stay away from their leggings with front seams. I have tried many leggings with front seams from Amazon, and some of those fit better than this blue Body Sculpt one I got. I think because this is a hybrid of shapewear and activewear, the fit is a bit unique (and in my case, not great). So, if you are prone to those front seams riding up, stick to their seamless leggings like the black Body Contour one.
