[UPDATE: the 2XL came in today. I was able to put it on. My measurements are - Waist * 41.75 / Navel * 44.75 / Lower Belly * 45.25 - for those who are around the same. The 2XL took some good amount of pulling to get on. I recommend starting at the top, OR getting a 3XL. It is snug, but I can still breathe and move around. However, I am going to have to adjust it because I now have a huge half tire on my upper back. It DOES flatten my stomach, though.]

I was hoping to wear this today when it arrived, but it was too small. Also, it didn't hold shape after my two attempts to get it on. It is stretched more on the sides now than how it came out of the bag.

I did decide to order a size up because I believe this product will work - at least for the month I will be around this size during weight loss - once I get one that will fit. I wear an XL (sometimes a large). This XL was at least 2 inches too small to hook.

One thing that would have been better is the way it was shipped. Bags are fine to use, but perhaps having some type of protective wrap would help. It was real flimsy grabbing it out of the mailbox. Also, the rubbery smell some may have mentioned is there. It's not too bad, though.

I'm looking forward to getting the next one. I will update when the new size arrives.
