This was literally one of the best investments I have made in the undergarment department in a while! You absolutely MUST TRY IT! I am a Spanx fan and I really don't care to even try a different brand. But with such great reviews I figured, why not?! This thing is WONDERFUL! It's difficult to get on, but that is expected. The gusset is a bit "weird" or "different" than expected. It's much larger than any gusset I have ever seen and it literally goes from the front of your body to the back. Basically, there is absolutely no crotch. It's a strange feeling but I'm thinking it's because of all you would have to do to get it off. I'm pretty sure that the makers were considering all of the emergency possibilities that could come up for a woman wearing this, and they wanted it to be convenient. There is no "access denied" sign on this body suit so all bases are covered....or should I say UNCOVERED! HA! Definitely do this! You will love it! I want another one!
