A great buy... Down 1-2 sizes for an ACCURATE snatched fit
I’ll try & be as detailed as I can because it’s not a bad trainer in my opinion. My favorite trainer brand is Yianna but they've been out of stock for almost 2months now (GREAT BUY BTW).CHARMIAN REVIEW: I am 5’2” 175lbs, measurements 38-35-42 ugh not cute but anywho ...Ordered a 2XL (32.7-34.5) according to measurements. First the smell grossed me out but I know how to eliminate it but can’t until I have the right one. (Baking soda & Apple Cider Vinegar soak w/air dry just FYI)... First level of hooks a little work but not difficult, FIRST SIGN I needed to go down a size. Wore it anyway just for trial & error (highly suggested). I’ve had it since Wednesday, today is Monday and it’s looser than it should be. WHEN you can relax your abdominals & see it uhm NOPE & today I’m able to move to the second hook easy...NOPE NOT GOOD. My theory, because it relaxed after just 4-5 days, I’m going down at least 2inches from my measurements not only will give me an extreme fit but will make sense after a few days wear. Honestly 4-5 days will give u it’s true fit if you wear it consistently I have. I wore it to work out & during the day. Average wear for me was 6-8 hours a day for 5 days.Why I gave it 5 stars? The fit all the way to the underarm back fat was excellent vs my Yianna & it's because of the adjustable strap. One thing I HIGHLY SUGGEST you pay attention to when reading these reviews is because they mixed & not specific to the same waist trainer. My review is SPECIFICALLY to the trainer with the adjustable straps.I did however order the other without the adjustable strap also for comparison. It’s quite a bit more sturdy & was too small in the same size. Highly recommend getting exact size or one up with that one.Returning today & should receive the new one tomorrow will try & give my theory results... #PEACE

Great waist trainer for price
I love my waist trainer, I should mention I bought mine specifically for the gym. My posture is great and I feel confident. Originally I bought a 5XL based on their measurement chart, but had to return it for a 4XL. Im 5'3 and weight 200.

Pleasantly Surprised
I have not been a fam of waist trainers but decided to give it a try. I went into a store and tried one and thought I was going to DIE, not to mention it was $80. So I came home and did my research and came here. I read a ton of reviews before making a decision. I'm 5'7, about 215 and mostly belly. I decided on the 3xl (I normally wear 1xl) and it fit perfect! I didn't feel like I was suffocating and I can take it in 2 more notches as I loose weight. I did have a little gapping around the armpit area but I can live with that. I HIGHLY recommend this product and that says a lot!

Not for long torso :(
I chose the correct size based on my waist measurement and the size chart provided. It fits well and I can sit in it without discomfort. I love how it smooths me out. However, I took away a star due to the length of the garment. Several reviews state that it covers their long torso, but what's considered "long" is obviously subjective based on the height of the individual. FYI - I am a 6' tall woman. It is so short on me that it barely covers my belly button. I remedied that issue by putting another cincher I owned across the bottom of my stomach for full coverage. Still worth the money for me which is why I left it at 4 stars, but I wanted to give an honest review for women tall like myself to see.

Great shapeware
I love this! I ordered the tank top one with adjustable straps. It looks like great quality. No funny smell, in fact it smells kind of pleasant. It has a grippy texture on the outside that I LOVE! I've been having issues with my leggings falling down and my tighter shirts riding up. Not anymore! Some people have mistakingly thought the boning was plastic because it is flexible. As a lingerie seamstress, I can tell you it is spiral steel boning which is the best (and highest quality) boning available. It is not plastic. It does not warp or crease like plastic boning does (I can't buy cheep corsets for that reason. They always end up creasing where my waist flares to my hips and dig into me). Spiral steel bones are flexible and bend to move with you but do not pinch or crease and they return to their original shape when you take it off.Sizing:Don't go based off others height and weight measurements... We all carry our weight very differently... I am 5'3" and weigh 185 right now with a post baby tummy. I'm built a little thicker but I don't look very fat like my weight would suggest. I wear large size shirts and my pant size is 8-10. My measurements are: Full bust-44" Under bust-33" Waist-36" Hips-43" Bra size-32-34J depending on the brand (that's 7-8 D's to those unaware of huge boob sizes). As my poochy baby tummy is 36", that puts me at XXXXL. That sounded too big so I ordered a XXXL. I could have easily gone with a XXL if I wanted to waist train. The XXXL I have though is snug enough to smooth my midsection beautifully while being comfortable enough to wear all day every day. It's comfortable shapeware that doesn't roll or ride up or down.My only complaint is the straps don't fit smoothly against the side of my breasts, which doesn't surprise me because my boobs are huge and my rib cage and underbust is quite small. If I were wider or had a bigger rib cage (as my larger size would normally imply) the straps would lie flat. As they are, they make a little triangle that pokes out and shows under my clothes. I just folded them into a dart that lies flat against my breasts and tacked it down on my sewing machine.

Go small
Good product but too big. I'm 14/16 and the 14-16 was way too big so ordering the 12.

Too big
Didn't pull me in at all, you really do need to size down by one or two sizes. Can see how it would work if you wear the right size, but unfortunately I won't be getting any use out of it.
