I only gave this shaper four out five stars because even though it does smooth out my bumps that I have and help me fit into clothes better but I must agree with the other reviewers on the straps. I however just safety pin the straps to my bra, one on each side and that takes care of that problem. Another issue I've seen discussed about is the need to take all your clothes off just to go to the bathroom, which all you have to do is unhook the safety pins and the straps  hook and unhook from the front and the back of the suit, so you would only have to slip off your shirt to put it back on, not a big deal to me. I'm 5'5 and 145 lbs. and I got the medium, it doesn't pinch or fall, and pushes my girls up even more, overall really great for the price, and came before the time it was expected!
