I recently put on a few extra pounds after my wedding (married life must be treating me well) but still maintained a pretty average build (5' 7", 135lbs.) So, I started looking into shapewear just to lose the extra inches off my waist and achieve a more classic hourglass figure. I have purchased other corselette/faja products and have had little success because even in size Small (and that's usually the smallest size there is) they didn't suck in my tummy enough, would bulge or roll in weird places, had an extremely unnatural cinch at the waist only or were plain uncomfortable...

However, this Squeem product is by FAR the best waist cincher I have come across!

There is very little pucker or bulges (only at the small of my back which cannot be prevented since I have a very deep curve between my waist and bum,) the tightness is just right, it's smooth enough to not show under most of my clothes (of course, it won't hide that well under very thin and fitted clothes) and my physique - well, that's the best part - it's so feminine and sexy. I really love what this waist cincher does for me. I will probably discard of the ones I had before. I bought a size Small which is true to size and accurate according the manufacturer's sizing chart since I am a dress size 4. If what the other reviewers say is true, I think within a short time I will size down to an X-Small. I can't wait!
