I like this girdle, it has helped quite a bit.  But I find that the top of it digs into my sides.  There is a 2 inch support wire attached to the seems at the top.  I assume it to help keep it from rolling down, which it does, but it digs into my skin something awful.  I don't wear it everyday because of this, but it certainly does the job when I  need it too.  It does feel good everywhere else and gives a good fit and shape.
