At first I was really excited and loved this item. It's comfy, helps smooth out your outfit so that it is more flattering. It doesn't ride up at all. The issue is that the snaps are really really difficult to do while it is on. I ended up, both times I wore it, getting so frustrated that I just left it unhooked - then it rode up to my belly button. The snaps are really difficult to get together and since it is by design tight, you have to awkwardly squat and reach around and then get all the snaps lined up in a row correctly. I wish it had hook closures like on bras.
