My boyfriend bought me this girdle when I complained about being a few pounds heavier than normal. I ABSOLUTELY love this garment and now I own 5 Rago girdles. It's amazing how comfortable it is and I wear one almost every work day. I often wear short shirts with my girdle which results in a "girdle peek" that reveals the lace cuff. I have had more than one positive comment from men in my office who appreciate the look of a girdle. thanks you RAGO Giselle from portland or.

I often wear shapers or control top pantyhose, but this was my first real girdle. For a good friend's wedding, I had bought this dress that is so cute, sexy, and, oh, did I mention, really tight around the hips and booty. I mean that dress feels and looks like only body paint sprayed there, haha. I decided I needed a little more than the usual help, so I bought myself this Rago. It was an experience to put on! But when I wore this girdle that dress looked to die for. This girdle felt a little different than any of the other shapewear that I wear quite frequently. More controlling and firm, but not uncomfortable. Even so, I worried that for an extended period and in different positons, it might ultimately be uncomfortable. I planned to wear it a number of days before the wedding to try, but somehow never did. So, I decided the day of the wedding to put it on the moment I got up and at least test things a little that way. My husband kept staring at me. I was like "what?" He just said I looked nice. I am asking him "just in my girdle?" The wedding was great. I got so many compliments. I know I was hott and that dress was smokin.' And kept getting asked to dance. I noticed my dance partners' hands lingering on my hips and other nearby places. It was a real turn-on. I told my husband and he said he noticed. The next day, though, I was so sore I could hardly get out of bed. I hurt in places I didn't even know I had muscles. It was all that girdle's fault! Even my sore throat, haha. My husband didn't let me sleep but a wink. Kept waking me and, well, you know, all night. OMG, I didn't know there were such positions or I could get into them, hehe. Forget Viagra. This girdle is way better than any old blue pill. deb from NY/NY

THIS ITEM RUNS SMALL. COULD NOT PULL PASS MY THIGHS. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SENT BACK.

Rago Response: We apologize that you were not satisfied with the fit. We understand that each body has its preference. You may want to try the next size up to get a more comfortable fit for your preference. RENEE from LOS ANGELES

I bought the Rago shaper for my wedding. After looking at and trying on many shapers, including a very well known brand, I settled on this one. I could not be more pleased with it. Not only does it do the job effectively, it is pretty. I love the lace details and the boning on the sides. The garter clips are a nice option but don't stick out or cause extra lumps and bumps. The waist comes up high enough to tack some below the bra rib cage muffin and the legs stay in place without digging in to my thighs. After making this purchase I am excited to add more Rago pieces to my collection and am so happy to have found this brand. Shay from Atlanta

I wore this under a poplin shirt dress. It really helped add structure and smoothness. It was a little awkward to get into and I periodically had to adjust the top where it pressed into my ribs but much of my discomfort was probably due to not yet being acclimated to shapewear. It was also very pretty and flattering without anything over it and I especially liked the attached garter belts. Nita from CA

This is my second Rago long leg girdle and it won’t be the last! As a plus size model, I get to see and sometimes wear a lot of nice lingerie but… this girdle is way better than any of the Spanx or control top pantyhose styles I have worn or modeled in before. The lace fabric makes it pretty and you don’t feel like you need to hide it like some of the bike-shorts type girdles that look like men should wear them! I also like that this girdle can be worn with my sheer, thigh high stockings which match up perfectly with the length of the retro garters in the legs. If you are looking for a pretty, comfortable and smoothing girdle, this is the one to buy. It’s not just my opinion, I test modeled this girdle with white stockings and white wedding style pumps for my photographer Andrew and he gave it 5 stars and two thumbs up!

Though I'm in my early thirties I'm a veteran in girdles. Have always loved wearing them, I'm very different than the gals who let it all hang out ugh. So wearing this was a pleasure for me from the start , with a nice shiny pair of tights underneath. Great for under trousers but I prefer my OBGs like my Playtex 18 hour. This is because my OBGs give me a tighter hug around the bottom. Lovely though, no complaints. Gilliane from Ireland

I received this garment today. I have worn Rago support garments before and this was the same quality and fit. The customer service was very helpful since I was in between sizes and wasn't sure which size garment to buy. It was easy to get on and will work well. The crotch opening does seem to be off centered as another customer noted so I am not sure how that will work. All in all, I would purchase this item again. Sharon from Virginia

pros: this is an outstanding design- not only retro cute but really effective and so affordable! cons: rago's sizing system is horribly off. i wear a different size in every style of theirs that i own. huge fan of the brand but grow up and get your sizing figured out, Rago. their xs waist cincher fits me perfectly. i could not get into this item in size S no matter how i tried, and the L is too big. Now i am waiting for an M (back-ordered of course). Katherine from Boise, Idaho USA

I like this item except for the crotch opening which seems to be anatomically impossible to use as it off centered. This girdle definitely sucks you in and you have to struggle to get on, but once in place it serves its purpose. Ahips from RVA
