The Spanx fit well but as soon as I tried to put it on it ripped! It does control the tummy area very well, it also has an opening between the legs in case you need to use the bathroom. I did not expect it to tear as soon as I tried to put it on, I do like how the shorts fit around the legs, nice and flat, they don't roll up like others. I didn't return it because I didn't think they would provide a refund if I tore it. I would not purchase again because it is expensive and I was not expecting it to rip as soon as I was putting it on.
