 It works. |

I actually measured everything, and this works - what I discovered is that I probably need to take off more than 1" at my waist! Slimming is only part of the reason I wear a girdle - I also appreciate it keeping my backside under cover in low-waist jeans, and keeps me from self-consciously adjusting my clothing. For this, it worked just fine, although it lost it's stretch after a month or so. If you are looking for something to use to loose an inch, this will work well! But if you're looking for a regular foundation to add, it's not a long-term purchase. I gave this to my sister to wear after she had a baby, since it stretched out so much it no longer worked for me. But what a miracle! An inch off the hip/waist in a month! |

 It works, but not for me... |

The first time I put this on, I thought I'd never actually get into it! It seemed impossible! But it got easier & immediately did a great job of slimming, staying in place, not rolling up or down, etc... BUT, the silver hook & eye closures came in contact with my skin (where the most pressure was!) and I got a rash (I'm allergic to nickel & get a rash from contact with it). If the fabric at the closure were 1/2" longer I could wear this (to extend under the hook & eye), but it's not. I tried wearing it at the smaller set of fasteners, but it was uncomfortable & created a very unsightly bulge between the girdle & my bra. Unfortunately I can't use this at all because of the metal fasteners, which is too bad because it really works. Also, I've been wearing girdles for about 4 years (with & without fasteners) and never had trouble with the metal & my nickel allergy before, so this suprised me. I don't know if it was because the metal was uncoated or because the fabric didn't extend far enough to cover the closure. Would have been a great girdle... |
