I thought the velcro strips would be 'longer' and reach around so I could wear this easily.  What I ended up doing is just wrapping it around like a towel in order to not 'swim' in the wrap.  I do like the light weight of it; I like the length, and I would have given it 5 stars if they'd made a strip so people who are size 4 or 6 could utilize the velcro without the top 'falling to my knees'.  Again, for the price, I'd say it's a fair deal and I'm wearing it right now.  ;-)
