This is a pretty good shaper for the money.  It's not the best one I've ever bought, but it has a good feel to it.  Seems to hold everything in place and fits snug enough.  I did pay attention to the other reviewers and ordered a size up (XL instead of a L) and it seemed to be pretty good advice. Don't think I would've been able to pull the L up over my hips.  All of my shapewear slips ride up as I walk, so I won't hold that against this one.  I would recommend this item!
