Erin Bickley and Jenny Greer brought the female shapewear brand "Hold Your Haunches" to ABC's "Shark Tank." which was replayed Tuesday on ABC.

"With Hold Your Haunches Shapewear for women, you will be amazed at how smooth and tight your legs and booty look thanks to our patent pending compression pants," the company website said.

"The secret to our gravity-defying shapewear is an inner liner of compression sewn in at the waist and extending all the way below the calf."

The pair asked the Sharks for $75,000 for 20% equity in their company.

Their product is essentially a legging with a shaper built-in, something they say does not exist in the market. The Sharks were impressed by the before and after photos.

"These must weigh five pounds," said Barbara Corcoran when handling them.

"Who's going to wear this? It's so hot," said Robert Herjavic.

"Women like shapers," Lori Grenier shot back.

Mark Cuban dropped out immediately and Herjavec followed.

"Why is it every time their is a female product you guys go out right away?" Corcoran said.

Kevin O'Leary dropped out because he did not like the "false advertising" offered by the shaper.

The business made $50,000 last year on $165,000.

Grenier and Corcoran asked the women to leave the room so they could come together on an offer. They decided to offer $75,000 for 40% of the company with a $100,000 credit line to help the company fill orders.

"What kind of greed is this?" said O'Leary.

The deal was accepted.
