I was looking for an item to help with compression after having a skin and lipo on my arms. I'm giving it 3 star because I did like itbut didn't work for me. This didn't go far enough up under the armpit but the compression was actually just right. Not too tight or loose. The weight of the piece is in the middle too. If you are just looking for something to wear under a dress or for warmth this would work but I think if you have fat under the armpit or boob spillage on the sides (like me) you may need to try something else. I have ordered about 8 different arm slimmers and this just didn't work for my body. I am 5' 0" 135 and heavier on the top. BTW it's a little tricky getting on and off-you almost need some help -if you are using this after a surgery.
