TC Fine Intimates Even More Step-In Waist Cincher 454 Reviews

I like this a lot. It stays up and never rolls down,and it gives me a nice smooth line. I'd like to give it 5 stars, but it has two problems. First, it doesn't take me in very much, a little less that an inch; mostly it just reminds me to keep my tummy pulled in myself. I'd like something that does something more for my curves. Second, it's bones are made of steel, so I can't get this through the airline security. (I mean not without causing a big fuss.) Since I fly a lot, this is big problem for me.

TC Fine Response: As to the review, as with all things, there are both pluses and minuses. In this case, the hi quality metal stays provide the fit flexibility desired by most wearers. The objective of #454 is to shape & smooth the midriff, provide comfort to the lower back, and improve one’s posture. Gina from Dallas, TX

For more comfortable than I would have thought possible. Helped a lot in hiding belly fat but not quite as much as I would have liked. Mary from NY/NY/USA

Found it to be too big, which in turn didn't "hold anything in"...lol. However, even in the right size, I didn't feel it would have been as much support as I was looking for, so I ordered 2 others which I like MUCH better! Natalie from Union City/PA/USA

Really like this product. It does not roll down. Very comfortable to wear. It smooths you out. I got a big soft tummy from a recent weight loss of over 50 lbs and it gives me a nice shape without making me look weird. Does not roll down..will order more. I listened to the customer service and ordered XL for myself despite wanting the L but XL for me did not produce any bulges. Ana from Bronx, NY

This did not work for me. Although the strength is about medium the length of the cincher is simply too short for me. The boning in the back hits my behind in a way that creates bulges - very visible when I'm wearing a dress. south57 from Danbury

First thing I did when I tried this on was see if my jeans came up over the bottom of it. They did - so that was a plus. Next I wore it under my clothing while I cleaned my house. I figured this would be a good test to see if it rolled up or felt uncomfortable in any way. Well, surprisingly it did not roll up and felt very good the entire time. I'm impressed. It has two pieces of boning down the front sides and then three in the back. The boning is underneath the material so I think it will be seamless with my clothing but I have yet to try it that way. This will not make you look like you've lost 20 lbs or anything but what it will do is smooth you out and flatten the tummy a touch. I wanted it so that my belly would stop "rolling down" the top of my jeans and that's just what it did. I like it a lot and highly recommend it as an alternative to the shaper with the built in underwear that is a big pain to go to the bathroom in. Colleen from Philadelphia PA

I purchased this item from a local department store about a month ago and I love it! It was my first waist cincher and it did exactly what I wanted, smooth and flatten my belly area. The lady in the dept store explained that I can actually where it higher (right under my bra) and it gives you a very nice lift. I especially like to wear it with strapless bras, because it helps keep it from slipping. This definitely gives you an hour glass figure and I actually think it helps form your body that way, if you wear it enough. It's a struggle to get on, but worth it once it's pulled up. I can see that I will need to purchase another one soon, because it's used frequently and I think the boning will eventually start to puckle a little. I can wear it with thin shirts, including tank tops and camisoles and the lines are clean and smooth. I'm 5'4 and weigh about 125 and I purchased a small. It fits perfect! T. from Atlanta, Ga

This item in general was really fine, however, it did not suit my needs. I exchanged it for a product from HerRom which I felt provided firmer control for the midriff/waist area. MAW from WV/USA
