I bouhgt these to relieve hip pain after childbirth and help hips move back to pre baby size. I don't htink they did anything spectacular in terms of reshaping my hips. This was my second baby, and I did not notice results any different than with my first birth. Save yourself the pain! Also, if you tighten them enough to see result, the top and bottom roll. So frustrating. Also, go a size up. I was a size 4 pre baby and bought size sm/xsm and it was too small.
