fits snug and is very comfortable. Hides my left over baby stomach pooch very nicely. I will be very honest I put it on and looked in the mirror after putting my jeans and shirt on and started to cry I was so happy.

Love the snug fit and the feel of the nylon-spandex fabric. Love the appearance with the shaping bands and front panel. The garters are handy when hosiery is included in my outfit. Lana from Alberta, Canada

I am so glad to find these panties. Wearing panty stocking has been uncomfortable so I needed thigh hi stocking but couldn't find the right fitting garter panties. This garment was perfect. It runs small so I ordered one size up according to your measurements from the chart. Now I am a happy very happy customer. Alicia from South Carolina

The Rago brief is well made and comfortable. The material is flexible but provides gentle flattering support. I have purchased this item for several years through various catalogues where it is no longer available. Fortunately, I located your website recently and ordered it. I recommend it for women of all ages and figures. Thank you for this quality product! Freda from Saratoga Springs, New York

I purchase Rago garmentss for the specific purpose of compressing/supporting my lower abdomen due to a hernia. Rago has the best product on the market that I have found for this purpose. The panties feel supportive, yet comfortable. They definitely give a sleeker fit to your clothing. I've found no other brand offers the support that Rago does. Liliana from Washington State

I am finding it impossible to find a girdle that gives enough support. I must have ordered and returned a half dozen before I found this one. I like this brief because it gives pretty good support--as good as I can find, and I have been all over the internet. Forget about finding anything in department stores. It just isn't there. You might as well wear a pair of panties for all the support you get from most "so-called" shapers. I would prefer if it were high waisted. I would recommend it to others, and plan to buy at least one more for backup. Betty L. from Smyrna, GA

I ordered 2 Rago panty briefs. I ordered them in 3X, which is equivalent to 46. When they came, they were way too small, they both had tags of 3X, but it was equivalent to 36. I am not sure if you all put the wrong tags on the items, but they wre clearly wrong. I sent them back, requesting to be reimburse on my credit card. Tamara from Hyattsville, MD

Rago continues to be my go-to control garment. These products beat all others for performance and price. PERFORMANCE 5 STARS: These briefs flatten out my stomach like no other shaper. I've had 4 children and while I can suck it in, I do have to breathe eventually. Ever doubtful after years of trying other shapers, I was amazed at how well these panties did their job. I'm not perfectly flat, but it's darn close!! The shaping on the bum area is superb. FIT 5 STARS: Do yourself a favor and get the measuring tape out. I wear a size 8 or 10 pant and came in the middle of the Rago size chart after I measured. If I had succumbed to vanity and ordered the Medium, there would have been no way to get into it. There is very little stretch in this garment - for a purpose. You might get 2 inches of give, so plan accordingly when ordering. If it doesn't fit, it's really not their fault - their size chart is accurate. COMFORT 4 STARS: This thing is scratchy. And it has no cotton liner. I solve both problems by wearing a nylon brief panty underneath and have had no problems with one riding up inside or bunching. But because I feel I have to do that, I'm knocking a star off. PRICE 5 STARS: Can't beat it. Herroom is still the place to go for the best price on top quality products. HOPPING, SWEARING, WRIGGLING 1 STAR: Buy the size that fits you, not the size you "think you are" and this beauty will go on smoothly but still do the job it's meant to. BOTTOM LINE (pun intended): These briefs will do the job where other spandex style briefs fail. Pamela from New Jersey

I have worn this garment for many years, and couldn't seem to find it where I had been purchasing it. Then I looked up Rago on my computer, and found that you had the item. I was afraid they had discontinued the item. Ethel from Providence, RI. USA

I am so relieved to have found this Panty Brief after quite a long search. I have been wearing a panty girdle since my 20's. First it was a Vasserette Panty Girdle, when I could no longer find it, I found a Playtex Panty Girdle, which I have been wearing for many, many years. Apparently they dropped girdles from their business, thus began my search for a replacement. I tried Spandex, alas, nothing like what I have been used, no support at all!!! Finally, looking for heavy duty support, I found Rago 619 Panty Brief. I'm not overly heavy, just week abdominal muscles from my young years. So thank you, I was finally able to throw the old, stretched out ones, out. Very happy with the return service, which I used two times, until I found the right size. Very fast and prompt. So thanks very much from an 80 year old lady. Nancy D. from Hemet, CA USA

I really liked how quick my girdle was sent to me! The fit was perfect and this girdle really lifted my bottom cheeks upward and made my bottom appear more rounded and feminine! The front panel really holds my tummy in too which is wonderfully comfortable....I would highly recomend this girdle for anyone wishing to appear more girlie! Jamie from West Palm Beach Fl

This garment is perfect for my needs. I like to call myself a petite chubbette. A little tight around the thigh area but it holds the stomach in and that is the point. Thank you for the exchange also. Annamaria from Cranston, RI USA

Returned these, they did not go over the thighs..did not pull them any further, did not want to force them...if they were that hard to get on, I was afraid they would be too tight...

Rago Response: If waist measurement to hips exceeds 10 inch variation we suggest the next size WITH less control product like Rago Girdle 6195 but still go to 7x. Marie from LaPlace

I found this Rago Panty Brief does a great job holding compression stockings in place. Garter belts, silicon grip tops and glue are not reliable for compression hose. This brief is very comfortable. Garter tabs are already sewn into the leg bands. I added 4" fixed length garters and was all set. Very nice product for me. R from Lynchburg/VA/USA

My husband was kind enough to order two of these for me and they are too high above the waist and this makes it uncomfortable. The waist piece rolls over and makes the panty girdle hurt and cut into the skin.

Rago Response: There are many different body type configurations to the female market. We would suggest a high waste garment in a 5X, based on your complaint about style 6109. alba from fresno, ca

I a male who ordered this item for my sister who was looking for a better fitting undergarment than what you can find at most department stores. So I suggested to her to try the Rago brand. She didn't know where to get them and I didn't either at first, then I said try the Internet. My sister Lori doesn't have Internet access or a computer so I told her to give me her size and I would go shopping for her which I did. She said that the Rago's I got her are the best fitting undergarments she's worn in along time and will probably buy more for you in the future, of course big brother will be doing the ordering.

This is more of an old-style girdle, rather than a panty with no cotton lining in the crotch. It seems to hold in firmly & be well constructed, but I don't want to do that "old girdle twist" getting it on so I exchanged a size up from M- L. Then, although I like a full coverage brief (i.e. not a hipster or lower rise), this garment was so long in the body that it bunched up at the waist and at the leg openings - I am 5'3". Both were returned.

HerRoom Response: Unfortunately, shapewear is made for average height women. Currently, there is no petite shapewear or tall shapewear on the market.

Rago Response: The Rago line is considered a traditional girdle - it is retro vintage. The T.V. show "Mad Men" has brought a lot of attention to this style. . Makazaco from WDM, IA USA

I had tried this style about 10 years ago, and totally forgot about it. But, ever since, i have not found anything quite as comfortable and effective as Rago Girdles. So i am back. The reasonable price was also a factor. i recommend it highly. helen Talei from Sherman oaks

I have used the Rago panties for years and find them to be the best for tummy and general control. My only slight complaint is that there is no cotton crotch, but otherwise, it is the perfect girdle. Sincerely, Juana Juana from West Caldwell, New Jersey

This garment runs true to size and holds in the tummy and tones down the "jiggles" without being uncomfortable. As noted by others, it has no cotton panel in the crotch, so I will probably sew one into it myself. Otherwise it's perfect. Neo from Washington. USA

all of the rago products are very well made, and great props for your pin-up girl at home. bob from sharpe

Very comfortable and 'efficient' however I personally would prefer the top to be a little lower OR a little higher. It seems to hit me at an odd place. Not a real problem and I enjoy the comfort it affords. Your service is a '12' on a scale of 1-10 and the return policy is second to none! Thank you! Nell from Owensboro, KY

This control panty is great. It does not move during the day, i.e. doesn't end up where it shouldn't. Highly recommend. Truman's mom from Cypress, TX USA

The only improvement would be a cotton crotch. Other then that I like the garment very much. Elaine from Aurora, Illinois USA

I love the fit especially as it firms up my backside. The lace detail is a nice touch for a shaping garmet. I wear it all the time with skirts and pants. kimberly from Calgary
