Ok ladies, lemme say this first: I have been anti-shapewear, cinchers, trainers, etc for years. I have always believed that if you don't look like that with your clothes off, then why bother? I purchased this hoping that it may actually train my waist on top of making healthier choices of course. But with a shape like mine, I was pretty certain it would not fit. What I mean by that is that I am extremely hippy and my lower stomach is pudgy. Let me just say: I WAS SO WRONG!!! This fit and snatched ALL of my mid section up like magic. I was even shock after wearing it for up to 4 weeks continuously, i measured my waist and got slimmer by a few inches. 

It was tough getting it on the first time, but was exactly what I needed. I did not want the waist trainer to touch my bare skin even though it is very comfortable material, so I put on a tank top then the waist trainer then another tank top to smooth out the lines of the trainer. This way you cannot tell that I am wearing anything underneath. Wearing the trainer encourages me to eat lesser and also gives great back support. I have done workouts with it on and it’s comfortable. But I’m not really interested in working out. It has been two weeks and I am already on the second row of hooks. Lastly, i appreciate that it actually prevent me to be in a slouch position when i sit on my office chair for long hours. - Extra benefits to support my back.
