I talked with customer service about the purchase of this or a similar item & of course it had to be Rago. I was told this style was a very popular one and now I know why. The fit, support and shaping it provides is second to none. And it's comfortable to boot! I got this in black & will prpbably be ordering other colors. Trycia from NJ

I love Rago!!! I grew up with whale bone garments with extreme hold. I have looked for this type of hold for a long time. I have finally found it in Rago (not the whale bone, but the hold). HerRoom added a wonderful lavender tissue wrap that brought me back to the time of true customer service. I ordered four Rago garments and will definitely order from HerRoom again!

My main purpose for this purchase was my "pooch" you know the tummy that looks 3 months pregnant despite all the ab workouts you do? Well, this fixes that better than any Spanx I have tried! The only downside I suppose would be where it ends at the thighs- kind of squeezes them too tight, making them look a little less flattering. This isn't really that big of an issue unless you are wearing a clingy material. Andrea from Michigan

There's nothing like a Rago girdle, period. I've been wearing them since the 1980's, even when I didn't really need a girdle, because they hold you all together no matter what you are wearing. This high waist brief does not ride up or creep, stays put and hugs the bottom snugly. The boning in the waist holds you in, yet lets you move around and breathe. I don't waste my time and money with other shapewear, no matter how trendy. I wear what works, and, what lasts through repeated wearings and washings, and that is the Rago label. If you want to look good, firm and together in a dress or pants, this is the label to go with. Rago doesn't make empty promises, they deliver. Well made and reasonably priced, as far as shapewear goes all around. Rita from Chicago, IL

The sale price was right, I'd previous purchased this item in a diff color at a retail store. completely satisfied. Not so concerned with bottom type/control as I am with stomach control. I noticed your survey doesn't ask for that type. Janice from Bellwood Il,USA

I bought this garment based on the guideline of the size chart but I really do think it's too big. Not alot of smoothing or slimming at all. Vanetta from Jamaica

My wife bought the Rago high waist thong and she looks amazingly sexy in it. So much so, that I submitted a 5 star review for that product and ordered this product as a surprise gift for her. I was never a fan of shapewear or panty girdles before, but Oh My God, my wife looks amazing in these garments. It definitely smoothes her out and gives her curves where she had little before. She is rather thin but has a very small, slight belly to her. She also has a rather large latin bottom. When we received this product, I gave it to her and she was a little surprised. I asked her to "model" it for me and my conclusion is that it is not only very functional (i.e., enhances her already beautiful shape) but is actually sexy to see her wearing. She told me it was very comfortable to wear and she particularly liked the detachable garters. She wears stockings and thigh highs often and the garters hold them firmly in place. She likes that they are detachable so she can wear this panty girdle under pants, as well. Overall a quality made product which is both functional and sexy. Mike from Somerset, PA USA

I got a 3x, and I normally wear an XL shirt, 16 pants in other brands, to help with sizing. It is probably the most comfortable girdle out there, which sounds like an oxymoron. They are actually flattering and kinda sexy, too, which makes them a great deal for being so all-purpose. Randi from GA

For a girdle, this high waist panty girdle is very pretty and surprisingly comfortable. So much so that I can wear it all day long. However, it can be a bit difficult putting on. I love the lacy retro look and it has a very feminine look and feel. Submitted from TheUndies.com

It has a vintage flair and it does a good job flattening. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I'm using this girdle for a 1950's play on a 5'9" actress, Chest 38, waist 27, Hip 43. She's full in the hips and thighs and the leg opening cuts in quite tight creating a bulge on her upper thighs. Otherwise its a nice smooth line up to her underbust Jessica from Natchitoches, LA

Actually love this garment. Makes my muffin top disappear. Clothing fits much better. Ladies, I'm a size 14, but being a tall girl, I ordered size 3x. Will be ordering more of this garment. Thanks HerRoom. I am a satisfied customer. Love my curves
