Fits well, but doesn't fix everything
I usually wear a size 14, am 5' 7" and around 200 lbs. the XL seemed like it was ridiculously small at first. However, the trainer does have some stretch to it so with a little pulling and shoving and squeezing, I was all strapped in like a sausage. I love the way this waist trainer changes my midsection and makes me feel confident and feminine. However, there are a few concerns:1. BACK FAT: Yes, I look very slim in the waist, but right above the corset is an "overspill" of back fat that I am still trying to figure out how to hide.2. Standing vs. Sitting: When I am standing wearing the corset, I feel awesome and wonderful, but as soon as I sit down, I become self conscious that other people can tell that I am wearing a waist trainer, and feel that it gives me an unnatural crease in my stomach. Also, after sitting for an extended period of time, the boning in the corset tends to bend.3. Not discreet: the area where the corset hooks together in front is very hard to cover up under clothing. I found that the only garmets that I can wear with the waist trainer are button-up shirts that can hide the vertical crease in the middle of my torso.4. Lasting effects?: I am a bit skeptical about the "permanent" effects of this product; however, I have not worn the corset consecutively enough or for very long amounts of time. I am in school, and I often end up "trapped" away from home in my waist trainer with no place to discretely take it off and breathe. This can end up giving me a bit of skin irritation in my frontal rib area, and two indentations in my lower back area where the corset bends when I sit.In summary, this corset does give good shape (good length, easy to use) but will not solve all of your problems (back fat) and may not be as discrete as other shapewear (unsightly middle bend in boning, vertical crease shows through clothes). In addition, I am not convinced that this product is quite as practical in everyday life with work, school, etc. If I stayed at home all day, I would never take it off. But sitting in an office or classroom really causes some discomfort, which brings me to my last point. Finally, it is generally uncomfortable but I suppose that is the point. It digs into your back and sides, sometimes makes you feel like you cant breathe and that you are trapped (GET ME OUT IMMEDIATELY), and the latex insides can cause sweatiness. However, I am not giving up yet! I still plan to continue to use this corset to try to permanently enhance my figure.

... ago and believe me when I said I was super excited for it wasn't expected until tomorrow night
My waist trainer arrived about an hour ago and believe me when I said I was super excited for it wasn't expected until tomorrow night. Yeah, I was a bit skeptical about ordering at first because I mean, it's online, who trusts so easy? But then I read the reviews and decided to go with this seller. I got a size small even though my waist is 28 inches and I'm 5'4.5 but it took less than a minute to get into. The change in my size was almost immediate in my eyes. The waist trainer doesn't only affect the size of your waist but it forces you to adjust your posture. Right now I'm sitting as upright as I've ever been in my whole entire life. I haven't tried it on under any of my dresses as yet but I love it so far. Of course, it's gonna be a bit tight and feels like you're suffocating at first but it's a waist cincher, what did you expect? I'm still on my first hook and I have no intentions to rush it until my body gives me the go ahead. Yes it has a smell but it's not a strong unbearable one. It smells like latex. It's a bit long but it only feels dug in my thighs when i'm not sitting properly. It fits better than expected, honestly, I was expecting something a little less effective.Only get a size smaller if you're okay with close fitting clothing and can suck in long enough to close all hooks. Size up or work with the size chart, especially if this is your first time wearing something like this AND always listen to your body. If it can only take an hour a day, don't push it. In time you'll be able to wear it longer.

So far great product.....
Fit as expected. I am 5'5 and I weigh about 175 pounds and I got an extra large. I wear large in tops however I can fit in x-larges as well. My waist is a 33 so according to the size chart, it was correct. It came within one week of ordering. I tried it on first day and yes it was a struggle getting it on the first row of hooks which I expected but I did get it on. I assume the longer you wear it the easier it is suppose to get to the other row of hooks. It is great support for my back, it is a little uncomfortable but I expected that as well because its tight, which is what you want it to be. The material is great. I like that it is long in the front however it does bunch a little in the back so I have to be careful what I wear on top if I decide to wear it under my clothes. For the meantime I'm just wearing at home around the house. This is only my second day wearing it, so I will definitely update the changes and well as the quality of the product.

My impartial review...
PROS: It was really great at cinching in at the waist and felt very secure on, like it wouldn't (and didn't) slip and slide. I have somewhat of a long torso so I always get long tank tops and blouses, and this was made long enough so the fat wasn't hanging out on the bottom part of my belly like other shorter ones do. It had 3 settings so as you lose weight you could keep tightening it as you go, and the hooks are steel and firm so you don't have to worry about them unhooking if you bend over or something.CONS: The boning (meaning the rods in the back) kept digging into my skin and made it raw and really bruised up. After several months the scars were still there. It was difficult to wear it in the summer which is when I got it because it made me sweat a lot. I would take it off and it would be soaked. If you're trying to lose water weight then I guess this will help you do that, but otherwise it's not comfortable to wear when it's hot outside.I would have kept it if it wasn't for the boning digging into my skin and rubbing it raw. 😕
