Maidenform Women's Open Bust Body Briefer Shaper

I wanted to smooth my midsection and solve the muffin top problem when wearing my jeans. Mission accomplished! For work, I'm standing, but it's even comfortable when sitting. I'm 160 lbs., 5'3", so got the XL. The fit is perfect. The crotch closure is workable. No wedgies. The stitching and material are very good quality. If you are normal or long waisted this will not work for you as the straps will not have enough adjustment room for you. I'm a bit short waisted and the straps are at their max length. I am buying another one!

Love, love, love this Maidenform body briefer-wear your own bra. It’s my go-to for slimwear, perfect for smoothing and shaping under any outfit. The fit is amazing, providing just the right amount of support and comfort. I’ve tried others, but this is by far one of the best. The only other brand I truly love as much is ShaperMint. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable and flattering slimwear!

I was surprised how much I liked this. I'm about a 14/16, (180ish pounds) with trouble in my tummy area. This is completely invisible under your clothes and stays put, which I really appreciated. The straps are adjustable as well. It's not gonna make you look like a size 2, obviously but it smoothed me out and made me look "slimmer". It didn't completely smooth my back but it did help a lot and overall it looked way better than not wearing it. I was able to get into a size 12 dress wearing this. The only down side is that it's gonna get uncomfortable after a few hours. My ribs were a little sore from all the squeezing, but it stays tight throughout the night. Just thought I'd mention this as well, my wonderful boyfriend accidentally threw it in the wash with other clothes, AND dried it.. I for sure thought it was ruined but to my shock it wasn't and I've worn it a few more times since so it can survive a wash and dry if it makes its way in there somehow. Pretty great product for the price! I would suggest it to my friends and will repurchase if mine wears out.

I recently ordered a Vedette body shaper that is similar in appearance to this... and let me just say I regret that purchase entirely. Feeling sort of wary of purchasing a body shaper online, I finally decided to just bite the bullet and TRY this one... why not, right?Let me just say... I will never purchase another brand of body shapers again. This is perfect... and I mean PERFECT. The design is amazing, it flattens and shapes while still being comfortable. I have been progressively losing weight, and I bought this shaper in the hopes of making everything appear taut while I am working to make it that way. This does the job and then some.If you are in between on which body shaper to get... I fully recommend this one.One thing I will say is to refer to their size chart. I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly, although it may seem a little tough to get on the first time. It's actually very simple to get on and comfortable to wear.There are three hooks at the crotch area which need to be undone (obviously) when using the restroom. I didn't find those too difficult, but be warned about them if you have a weak bladder... you may need to take some precautions. The hooks work like a typical bra hook would.Also, if you plan on wearing this shaper for a full day make sure you adjust the straps to where you need them. I forgot to adjust them and wore this for an hour until I finally thought "Ouch! These things are digging into my shoulders." After adjusting them - problem solved.

I wear a 10 in clothing but have a tummy. I bought 2 sizes--medium and large. I'm keeping them both. The Medium fits very snugly, takes a bit to wiggle into, but holds me in a lot and is not uncomfortable once it's on. The Large is perhaps a little less slimming but not quite so snug. On both, I had to let the adjustable straps out to the widest amount, otherwise the straps were too tight. I have yet to test these out in an hours-long situation, but I think they will both do the job without being constricting. I love the fact that you can wear your own bra with them. And because they have a high waist, they definitely work better than just slimming panties which create a roll above your waist that defeats the purpose--yes, your tummy get flatter but there's another unsightly bulge above it! I bought these based on other reviews. I do not think they guided me wrong. They are flexible but slimming at the same time. Doesn't feel like you're wearing a corset!

Now, this does suck my tummy in nicely, which is why I’m keeping it. I don’t want the hassle of a return. But I have to take my shirt off and pull this down like underwear every time I use the restroom because the snap is unreachable. It’s SO FAR away!This also makes you thighs pop, and I’m just gonna live with that because it’s better than the line created by having the shorts.Second, it’s a smidge on the small side. I have a long torso and it barely fits even though I ordered what I am in sizes for everything else. Don’t size down for sure. Depending on your shape, maybe size up. It will still smooth you out.Love that it diminishes the back bumps by bra straps.

If you are average to tall height, this will likely not be a good fit. The straps are thin, short, and downright painful. I have other versions where the straps are wider and integrated, but these straps are too thin and too short even when fully extended. Bad design that causes pain and redness. Very surprised because this is normally a great brand.
