Had I realized how low the percentage of spandex this had, I'd have gone with a more firming product.  But really wasn't paying attention.  This product does smooth you out--somewhat.  It has about the same smoothing power as a pair of control top pantyhose.  Does not completely get rid of my muffin top.  But it does help.  I got it to wear with jeans.  It is very easy to put on and remove.  Have not tried the hooks/eyes at the crotch for going to the bathroom but it doesn't look bad.  I bought a small thinking that would be a little tight and I should have maybe have gone with the medium.  The small was fine.  Very comfortable.
