I'm 5'8, 180lb, 31in waist, 36 bust and 41.5in hips and I have an athletic build. I wouldn't consider this waist trainer long but it is longer than most and it doesn't smash into my under bust when I sit. it does have a latex exterior and you should let it off gas for a few hours before wearing it, as it has a strong rubber smell. It is well constructed and should last a while with proper car.

The eyes need to protrude a little bit further, it is extremely difficult to get the hooks in. Also, I think mine is defective. In The bottom of the rubber bunches under a little bit and won't lay flat.
