I loved that it doesnt roll down from the top, or up from the bottom. It doesnt work as a waist trainer, it just smooths things out. Im 58, just had a baby and have not lost all that extra weight yet, needed something that put everything in its place when wearing a romper or a long dress, and it does just that. Just make sure you get the right size, I got a Medium, and its just fine for me. I was tempted to get a smaller size than what I wear, thinking it might tight things better, but that would had been a mistake as I can see it would have part my thighs and would mark through the clothes.
