I have only been wearing this a few days but it has helped with my back pain as well as abdominal/pelvic discomfort after having my little one. I do like the way it pulls my midsection in and gives me a sense of balance where I am lacking muscles. My only complaints are it's itchy along the stitching which drives me mad crazy and the short two inch boning on the sides cuts into me towards the end of the day and hurts. I'm sure those issues will fade with time and the more weight I loose.
