So i used the measurement chart and i should have listened to my gut...the one im trying to hide with this Shapewear. I don't wear a medium in anything except leggings. But these things are manufactured in different countries so i thought, meh, maybe they're using their countrys sizing conversions. Well it arrived and as my gut told me when i ordered, this is WAYYYY too small. I am exchanging for an XL. Im not even going to offend myself by attempting to squeeze into a large. I still gave a good review because of the QUALITY of the product. I cannot review as to the comfort currently...but i will update once i wear it to work. This is very firm material BUT seems to have a good amount of stretch surprisingly! When i first touched the garment i was thinking theres no way this could be comfy because the outside feels like thick nylon! But the inside is soooooo soft, like Modal! Im anxious to get the correct size to try it out!
I wear these to work for two reasons: for back support and to help my diastasis recti improve slightly; i had four kids and the last one was 9.13lb! Im really bummed that my original one doesnt fit because i wanted to wear it to work Monday. Im on my feet as a surgical assistant so i NEED support. I wear top quality socks and shoes as well. Its important to give ur body quality support. I do a lot of spine and ortho cases so i see the consequences daily!
