Waist Cincher

This is a great product but if you use petite size, this product does not work because it is made for tall ladies only. It does not take into account that petite women have a shorter torso. So as a result, it digs into your thighs and bra line because it is too long. The company should really consider a petite line.

My problem area is in the abdomen...some loose skin and extra fat, when coupled with some pre-menstrual bloat, makes me look pregnant. This shaper did a fabulous job of holding me in--made me look as if I had a narrow, curvy waist and flat abdomen. No muffin top anywhere as it covers all the areas that this could happen. One fatal flaw--the bottom edge pops up, just under the "boning," creating a very noticeable, almost-pyramid shaped protrusion through jersey knit or silky thin dresses. Perhaps this wouldn't happen if my torso length was longer, but I have an average length torso. For sizing, I am 5'1" (short legs) and about 130 lbs, and I bought the size small.

I wanted to wear this under my wedding dress to help tighten up my stomach area...it doesn't do much. It either gives you a fat bulge up top by your bra or at the bottom by the top of your hips. It is also very visible underneath clothing due to the boning.

this is basically a corset with boning. Definitely not the thin, smooth material I was looking for that would go seamlessly under clothing. If you're looking for something to suck your stomach in under a billowing top, I guess this would work. But definitely not for a body con outfit.

This cincher flattens and gives the appearance of a more slim silhouette. You will feel the pressure of the material but that just means that it's getting the job done, won't leave home without it!

I love the boning on this cincher. I ordered many other brands to try, even the famous Ann Chery ones. But this one won out of 5 that I tried. It is slimming and does the job. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish it was a tad higher in the back to cover my backside of my bra to eliminate a gap between where back fat can kind of pop out.
