Ahead, we rounded up ten pairs of jeans that do all the work of shapewear without all the hassle.

Yummie Jeans are the brainchild of founder and "Real Housewives" alumni Heather Thomson, who created her clothing line to help women look and feel their best. With Yummie Denim, Heather wanted to create figure-flattering jeans that multi-tasking moms could wear from playdates to date nights. Made of a soft, stretch denim fabric (with 1% Spandex in the blue jeans, 7% polyester, and 92% cotton), these jeans lift and shape the body while being comfortable to wear.  Made with "core-spun technology," these jeans won’t bag or sag at the knees or butt. The back pockets lift your booty while the 14-inch back rise covers all your curves.
