i used to use squeem brand for years to help with lower back pains...stopped for awhile but decided to go back since back pains have returned with a vengeance...i checked squeem brand but holy sh*t the price has doubled so i decided to see if there were any comparable "fajas" .  i am VERY pleased with this for several reasons:  1) bang for your buck at $21.88 and the quality is easily that of a $45-$60 shaper  2) as with all other high compression shapers it is sort of a workout to get on but once you do....WOW! tummy is tucked in, my back pain is virtually non-existent and i hadn't realized how horrid my posture was until i put this on! 3) its pretty smooth (get the right size ladies! for sizing references i got medium and am 5'3 and 150 lbs...and i am using the first set of hooks so it is at its loosest setting) 4) when you take it off your tummy stays "tucked" in until you eat a big meal lolz...honestly didn't expect the quality to be this high.  VERY comfortable.  there is high compression but comfort as well. i doubt you could work out in this...but you can definitely wear all day long and sit at a desk and do work~  10/10
