This suit does a good job of compression and giving the appearance of a slimmer look immediately but it was kind of awkward to put on. Both of the leg sections can be in clasped which is good because you can adjust them as your upper thigh slims but I think I would just prefer some regular compression shorts. I'm not sure why these were made with the crotch open. I assume it's to facilitate bathroom breaks but redoing the clasps became annoying to me. When I first put it on it was a little uncomfortable but it felt better after I wore it a while. All in all it's a good product but I would prefer a longer shirt vs this body suit type.
