I had my baby in November and I had purchased a post pregnancy belt which worked really good.  I was almost able to fit back into my jeans.  After I had gotten to that point I decided to go with another product because the belt is good but the belt didn't go any tighter.  I reviewed many items since I was considering a one piece.  After reading reviews and careful consideration I felt a 2 piece would be more convenient because I don't have to strip just to use the toilet.  This product does what it says.  I have gotten 2 tops and bottoms, and I wish I ordered more.  I wear them everyday since I walk and exercise everyday.  It does help shed some weight down.  It is not a miracle worker and it doesn't slim you down just by putting it on. it will help if some sort of exercise is done with it on.  I have lost a lot of weight gotten most of my figure back.  The only thing I really hate is the top rides up.  The top is what has the tummy control so it doesn't help if it rides up.  At this point I am considering a one piece.  It may inconvenience me abit but I would rather the part that does the shaping stay in place.
