| I just had two kids back to back and my abdomen is a mess, I even have an umbilical hernia. I'm about 5"4' and was 150 at two months post partum and ordered this in a Large after measuring between 35-36. It's now 30 days later and I have lost 2 maybe even 3 inches following the recommended daily wear of 8-10 hours. But what I am most happy about is the support it has provided my ab muscles and it takes some pressure off of my hernia too. With a 3 month old and a 15 month old I can't really afford to have strain in my core. It makes me feel good while looking good and I also wear it while I work out. I'm back to order another one in a size Medium as I've lost a couple pounds as well as inches. Maybe in another 30 days I'll be back for a size small! |

| I purchase five of your products and spoke highly recommending your product to friends an family. But your products are not of high quality. Very upset about the results... The product ripped and cannot be ever worn after two years of purchase. |

 Thin - Doesn't Hold Up to it's Expectations |
|

I have probably worn this waist cincher about 10 times. I have two other cinchers and one vest that I alternate with, which also allows me to compare which one I like the best.
My tummy has never been flat even when I was a size one as a 5'2" woman. After three kids, I've put on weight and I'm now slightly overweight. I've had three c-sections and my tummy is, well, not like it was when I was a size one.
The other cinchers I own are two Ann Chery waist cincher and one Ann Chery Chaleco latex vest. Compared to this cincher, the Ann Chery cinchers and vest are made of really strong, thick latex. This cincher - the Flakisima, is much thinner. The Ann Chery cinchers pushed the fat on my back up so that instead of a muffin top, I had back boobs. The Flakisima, because it is thinner and not as strong, does not push the fat up as much. However, it doesn't hold in my tummy very much. It's almost like wearing a strong spandex shaper, where you can push your tummy out.
I like to wear the Flakisima on days where I am going to wear a tighter fitting t-shirt, because I know that it would sort of hold my tummy in and NOT show my back fat as much as my other cinchers. I also like the fact that it doesn't feel so heavy.
The Flakisima waist cincher wouldn't have gotten a 5, because it doesn't hold my tummy in the way I wanted it to. I would have rated this as a 4, because of the fact that it dispersed my fat evenly. However, today, one of the metal shapers was able to poke through the thin rubber/latex. I do a lot of sitting and standing and maybe the metal piece couldn't take all of that movement and the thin material just couldn't hold it. I ended up taping it with duct tape (who's going to see) and I'm hoping that will hold it, because I still want to use it. |

It does slim! |

| I purchased this product hoping to be able to wear it throughout a regular day under my normal clothes. This body slimmer is very difficult to get on. I was right in the middle of the medium size chart and I bought the medium. I wish I had gone a size up. If you measure anywhere from the middle, to higher size bracket on the size chart I would recommend getting the next size up. Once you get this shaper on, it really does do what it says! It instantly smooths and shapes. But, I found that as soon as I moved around, the top of the shaper would slide down my back slightly and the bottom of the shaper would slide up my back, therefore buckling in the middle of my back. I was constantly pulling up and down on it to get it to fit right. I could never wear this out because of this. This shaper is great if you are going to be standing in one place, not bending or sitting or moving. This product with shoulder straps to hold it up would be better and I didn't look on the website to see if that was offered. I recommend this product for around the house only. |

| There are things that you fall in love and his is one of them. 7 months ago the idea was to use it to do heavy work, I look in the mirror and I liked how I looked. My waist looks thinner, my back straight, my bust was up and my stomach was flat. What else could I ask? |

LOVE IT!!! |

| I was still pregnant when I bought this cincher so I wasn't really sure what size to get and went to a size XS instead. After giving birth to my 2nd child I tried this on and it didn't fit me and I was a bit skepltical that I could ever use it since it looks too small for me. It's been 5 months and I tried it again and tried to stretch it as much as it could and Voila! IT FITS!!! It's a bit tight but as I continue to use it I think it's starting to shape up my body and now it easier and feels even more comforatble to wear. I've been using this for a few days only and it works great. What can I say... I LOVE IT! |

Did not like |

| Could see the snaps through tight shirts and was very uncomfortable for me to wear. Eventually it stretched too much that it became useless. |

 Excellent |

| I am currently enjoying the Flakisima (Faja) it gives me the back support and stomach control I used it for. |

Incredible!! |

| I have always been so worried about my lack of waist but this cincher gave me a very curvy figure, AND it is so tight that I don't even need to suck my belly in anymore. No more pooch! I was worried that the bottom would roll up, but everything stays in place. I couldn't be happier! For the price, it is an incredible deal. |

Great Corset |
|
| Written by Laurel F. from Novato, CA on 07/30/2011 | See all my reviews |

| This corset has been great - I am unusual in that I have actually been wearing it over my dresses for a goth/steampunk look when I wear costumes to events, and it looks hot - the black rubber is rather sexy, what can I say?! It does its job, holds everything in, and seems to run true to size. I bought a 2X when I was a size 16, and it took a bit of work to get closed, but once on it fit well and was comfortable. Now that I am a 14 it is starting to get a little big, but still works. Easy to wear and good quality! |
