The body shaper was easy to put on. It felt comfortable after using it for at least 3 hours. Although I'm pretty certain I chose the correct size, the shaper really did not helped me look "thinner". Basically, the "love handles" look just a bit more even, but they don't go away, specially the ones in the back. In theory is a good design, but the fabric is too elastic to really provide the "shaping" you really would like to see. As always with lingerie, it is better to try it first at the store before you choose to buy it on-line.
