I don't know how this product has such high ratings and reviews say this fits as expected. I'm 5'3", 34C, 135lbs and a small squshed my ribs so bad I had to exchange for a medium which worked much better.
I was told to get this product after having abdominal and flank lipo. The medium was definitely the better size for me because I had to wear the compression garment 24/7 for 1 month then 12 hours at a time for an additional 2 weeks. The garment must be hand washed and line dried. I used liquid Tide Free and clear and hand washed in the sink which works really well. I hung on a hanger and dried over night hanging it in the shower.
In order to wear the product all day or even for a short period without hurting g your ribs, order the size garment in the same size too you normally wear. Consider the garment doesn't need to account for breasts as that part is open. Being just 5'3" the garment t was a bit tall for me by an inch or two so I just scrunch it up around my breasts. The garment lifts your breasts so the outcome when wearing g it is a smaller waist, smoother abdominal and upper thighs and lifted breasts.
The bottom of the legs is finished with soft lace and the inside is lined with a rubber tho material that keeps the legs from shifting during wear. The product is made in Columbia and is pretty good quality. The crotch is open for ease of urination but the bottom is not open as other brands are. The straps are both adjustable and removable. The front is secured with hook and eye closers and covered with a black zipper. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone in need of support or to those wishing to create a more smoother figure.
