It streched out on me very quickly wish i would have gotten a smaller size
Rago Response: A smaller size would accommodate better for you, but this item can be moved up and down on your hips and waist for the position to accommodate the best fit and accomplish the shaping function.

I've been buying waist nippers for years and this is worse than the ones you get in Walmart. It stretched out after the first wear and I just wore it a 2nd time and it sticks out everywhere.
It's not smooth and this girl in the picture is probably 1 size smaller than the one she's wearing

I like the way this feels around the waist and middle. The only thing I don't like is how far down it goes in the back. It covers part of my bum and leaves an indentation. I like to wear waist cinchers with all my clothes but I can't with this one because it shows especially with slacks. So it is a keeper.

About a month ago, I saw the holidays coming and like a lot of women, I knew I would look better in my holiday dresses if I lost 15 pounds. But there was no way I could realistically do that. So I bought this and I started wearing it all the time -- so I'd get used to it. Here's what happened.
I look so much better, it's just amazing. It holds me in and, well that makes a big difference.
So, ... the holiday parties have been just wonderful.

It's difficult to put on, as the hooks just don't seem to want to link up. I have to be really careful not to break a fingernail. That's the bad part. The good part is that once it's on it's perfect. It keeps my tummy absolutley flat, absolutely. And, it pulls my in on the side, so I have curves, real curves.
Is it comfortable? Well you do know you're wearing it. But considering what it does, it's acceptable. So, if you need to look your best -- all day -- this is about as perfect a garment as you can buy.

It's absolutely perfect when I want to wear those special party dresses. It pulls me in where I want and never rolls down. I just love it.

I must wear support garments because of a hernia, and, being of short stature I always find them too long and terribly uncomfortable. The "bones" in this garment are short enough not to cut into my legs when I sit down, and the support is excellent and the comfort is divine. I will order more!

This is nice, but it does have some problems. I have a long torso, and this isn't long enough. For the best fit, I need to wear it centered on my center. This means that there is the muffiny area above the cincher and below the bra line and the area of lower belly beneath the cincher. I'm a bariatric patient and I've lost nearly 100 pounds so far, with some more to go. I have tons of loose skin and extra flab so I was hoping the boning and support would be helpful.
The boning is disapointing in the way most boning is in these sort of products-- it isn't strong enough. I have never tried steel boning, I think that is what I need. With the plastic boning I have always had issues where it just bends rather than supports and holds and shapes. Where is the bone part! This does help when added to my shapeware ensamble however. I've discovered in order to actually look good in a close fitting dress, I need multiple layers: First I put on my spanx hide and sleek high rise body smoother. Then the waist cincher. Then over this goes slimpressions to help with the upper torso and arms and back. At this point, I can finally put on my clothes.
This product stays in place reasonably well-- better than the svelt belt and it is mostly comfortable. For more active days-- like when I'm crawling around the floor and then moving around and dancing then who knows what (I work with kids), it can get uncomfortable from shifting.

I did not like this. The material is stiff and rough, but ok I would've dealt with it. The real problem is the construction. The strongest elastic sits right at the sides of the waist, which cinches my waist, but not so much the hips - so it ends up creating not a smooth line from waist to hip, but cinched waist - huge hips type of look. This might be an indiviual problem, just how my body looks in this cincher, but I had to give it 3 stars, it just seems like they skimped on the elastic.

Simply amazing!!! Would buy another one in different color.

This item is fabulous! It gives me an instant flat stomach and smooth line under my wedding dress and it doesn't feel too constricting. Highly recommended!!
