I have wide hips and the back of my item bulges out in the back instead of fitting around my waist.

Rago Response: It is possible that the garment is maybe resting too high on your body. We might suggest bringing the garment down to rest on the hip. T Hub from Dallas Tx

Not bad but I dont think I would buy this again might work for some but it did not do it for me. Its not tight enough for me and I have been in some pretty tight ones.

Rago Response:We are sorry that the style was not to your preference. Perhaps maybe a smaller size the next time. Sonja from chicago IL

This product creates a waist better than other shapewear I've used. I have previously bought a camisole-type top and control shorts -- both only smoothened but did not define a waist for me. The waist nipper, however, created a nice silhouette and made me feel more confident about putting on my wedding dress. For reference I wear a dress size 18-20 and ordered the 2x based on the size recommendations. Bernadette from Canada

I read the other comments and decided to give the Rago Waist Nipper a try. I do like the fit of the undergarment, it is true to size. The only thing I do not like is how the undergarment rolled over my tummy. I wore this garment with a sundress, I got in the car and felt something very tight, when I got out of the car, I realized the waist nipper rolled up and I had to pull down. I'm currently dieting and hopefully when I lose a few pounds, I will try the waist nipper again and see if it will roll up over my tummy again.

Rago Response: Thank you for detailing the garment being true to size. We are glad that you have faith enough in the product to try it again in the future. We would suggest that you size up and see if that helps with the rolling. Christie from Austin, TX

I already have a hourglass figure, but with this garment on, I look like Betty Page and Marilyn Monroe. I have the best curves with this on. My poor man feel to his knees when he saw me. I also wear a lot of vintage style dresses and this has worked out well for me. Olivia from Harvey, Michigan

Item was poking my sides and I am returning it. I thought I ordered the right size. Lawana from Tampa, Fl

This waist cincher made a tiny difference in my appearance, but as the night wore on, it rolled up on me a little at the bottom and was uncomfortable. Realistically, these things are never "comfortable," so I guess it did what I expected it to do. Initially, I took the advice of the other reviews and ordered a size down from what I normally wear, but when it came, I had to send it back for 3 sizes bigger! Lisa from Macon, GA

I'm 5' 6", 135-140 pounds. I think the fit was right, and it does make a real difference in your waist, and a bit on your stomach, as viewed from the side. I would not call it comfortable however. It's fine with dresses and skirts with the shirt tucked in. I can't wear it with below-the-waist pants, because it comes out from the pants, and then doesn't tuck back in - it just isn't comfortable. The back curls up on me too, and messes with how my underwear sits on my hips. The top is fine. It does keep you sitting upright. I think for what it is it is a good product - probably pretty ideal for wedding dresses. But I wish I had gotten something with legs too, to help the lower abdomen and hips more for day to day life.
