I wasn't sure if this cincher would fit me because I have a smaller frame. It's always been difficult for me to buy cinchers that support a small body. I am only 5 ft, about 100 lbs and my measurements are 33, 24, 34 and I feel like I'm pretty straight up and down. The size is 24 and my waist is 24 so it made me worry that it would just "fit" me, but not give me the "cinching" hourglass figure that I wanted.

When I got the package, I tried on the cincher immediately. It fits perfectly!! It cinches right where I wanted it to. This cincher is made really well with soft support boning. The cincher also has tighter straps inside that are horizontal right where I want it to cinch in (to give me the hourglass look). It cinches perfectly at my waist. It also hugs me in the perfect spots of my lower stomach. Sometimes I have difficulty with other cinchers that cinch in the waist, but then pushes everything up top and bottom which gives a bulging look. This eliminates any bulging look and looks very sleak and natural under clothing.

The clasp front is very easy to put on (unlike corsets with strings in the back or spanx where you have to slip it on over the rest of your body). I also love the boning that helps with my sitting posture at work. If I start to slouch, the boning on upper top of the cincher will start to dig into the underneath of my breasts and remind me to sit up straight. I wear a slightly padded bra (with the padding underneath) to help with any bone piercing issues. I basically put the cincher over my bra at the base line underneath so if it does start to pierce, it pierces my padded bra first begins to hurt.

I've used spanx in the past or nylons with a control top to kind of give me the same look, but they seem to be more difficult to use. I buy an xs in spanx, but I always have trouble pulling it up and down because it's so tight. Once it's on, I love it, but taking it back off or having to use the bathroom can be troublesome. This cincher is great because it eliminates any bathroom issues. I never have to pull the cincher down (*note* I removed the garters). The garters are easy to remove with simple hooks. For a sexier look, I will add the garters with some stockings for some fun after hours at home. :)

I loved this cincher so much that I also bought it in white. I wish it came in more colors like tan or red. This is a great buy and I try and wear it daily. It's that comfortable. It's snug just how I like it. I also think it tightens my waist to 22"! 2" smaller.
