I love this waist cincher, as it more than does the job it was intended to do.  I wear it all day in comfort.  It is not binding.  I especially like the metal and rubber garters (very durable) as I'm a stocking girl.  I can also wear it with pants, too. I also enjoy wearing it for those "special" evenings,under a slinky dress, sometimes only with stockings and nothing else!  Rago rocks!
