I READ THE REVIEWS AND ORDERED THE XXL. IM 5'2 AND A SIZE 16, IT DID TAKE SOME ELBOW GREESE BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO IT AND COMFORTABLY. THE ONLY GRIPE I FOUND WAS THAT THE THONG ISNT MADE FOR ANYONE WITH MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF BUTT, BC THERE ISNT MUCH ROOM FOR ONE (LOL). I WORE IT A SECOND TIME, BUT WITH A DRESS SLIP ON TOP AND THAT DEFINITELY HELPED, AND I'D WEAR IT AGAIN. IT GIVES THE WEARER A DEFINED HOUR GLASS SHAPE AND IF YOU'RE JILL SCOTT THICK LIKE ME, YOU WILL DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT IT TOOK TO GET INTO THE SHAPER ONCE YOU'RE IN YOUR CLOTHES....OMG make sure you go a size up they do run small, and specially bacause of the thong part you will get a bad rash back there lol haha so get a size up you dont want it too smallAnnChery brand used to be a very good quality...now it has gotten inferior I bought another one and the same thing happened..the latex material inside ripped in mine...no longer a good brand.You have to put it on from the bottom and pull up. I tried to unsnap the coouch area and put it on as a shirt and got stuck..lol...I ordered a XXL because my waist is a 33 and my hips and bum are a 45. The thong part can get a little uncomfortable but that is adjustable...Great productVery sturdy maybe need a little support for the front because the bloat pushes to the front. I'm allergic to dairy n gluten so I'm mostly always bloated. Overall creates a very nice front facing siloette (shapes the sides very nicely). Overall serves purposeShipping was super fast, i was very impressed. Fits is great. I usually wear a medium and the first time i ordered it, i had ordered a medium... BIG mistake! I gave that to my sister who wears a small. This time around, i ordered a large and i am very happy with my purchase. I can wear this body shaper and feel comfortable in it. I also that like the crotch has adjustable clasps. This was definitely a great buy.the body shaper works like magic the only problem is that i should gone up a size i got a small when i should have gotten a mediumbut after it works it hides all the bulges and bring out your curbsThe quality of the fabric seems nice, but I can't really say how this works because the sizing is SO FAR OFF. I weigh 130 pounds and I normally wear a small or a medium, and I ordered a medium. I literally couldn't even get this over my calves. Is it sized for children???
