Ok so my review is going to be long...a short summary..not true to size...rods are useless [on me], but my butt looks good...

Okay so first I would have gave this product 2 stars but I felt bad about taking away a star because Im fat lol...so with that being said here is my review:
1. Im 58 255-260 and I wear a size 18 in most things. I think the size chart suggested 3x for 18 but I knew not to trust it so I bought a 4x and I would have preferred it to be a little bigger but I understand not all plus size people are created equal so its soemthing I have to deal with.
2.  The shape wear puts more emphasis on trying to form a waist Instead of smoothing out rolls and skin like a spanx would do. So since most of my plussizeness (new word I just came up with) is held in my belly all this product really did was create one roll where my waist should be and not get rid of my slight gut in the front
3.the rods are completely useless on me. Maybe cuz my belly is big and it cant work miracles.  But I have had other shape wear (not spanx) that have had rods and they worked well..just think these rods were a fail...
4. For some positivity: my butt looks nice!!!! Seriously Im lucky enough to be one of those plus size women with a nice round shapley tush so this product unlike spanx accented them perfectly. Spanx kind of compresses everything and diminishes the naturally attractive shape of my butt.

Again its ok. Gonna still shop around for plus size thong shape wear and see if I can find the perfect one..
