 I shouldn't have bought this item, even though it was on sale |

The bra part is disgusting. It looked so great on the photo but I learned my lesson that wearing your own bra is always better. Also, the slimming effect is good but not great; however, the cloth tends to fold too much, so because my problem is my love handles/sides (size 2/XXS), I feel that if I bend to the left or the right, you can see my flabs pop out, ew, defeats the purpose of buying shapewear, right? I can't do anything about this, I bought it on final sale. |

 Good, but the slimming effect could be better |

I like the cloth as opposed to Squeem's rubber, but the slimming effect could use some work. The thing with these shapers is that yes, they are hard to put on but once you get used to that process, it becomes easy. Also, you forget about the tightness and the shapewear becomes like a second skin. This one could be tighter, I feel. I would say the slimming effect is about 20% but 50% would be better. I chose this because of the hook and eye; the opening option is not great for bathroom trips, that's why. This product is good enough since I bought it on sale. Again, I really do like the cloth. |

Nude is better than black, and thong is better than panty (I wrote a not-so-great review for the black panty version). The compression and slimming effect are great! Best brand I have tried so far. Hook and eye closure is a must over the gusset option. Took a star off for the rubber. After I take it off, the rubber smell stays on my skin for 5 min. My husband doesn't like this item lol. My issue is with my love handles/sides (I'm a size 2/XXS) and this fixes that problem amazingly! |

 Get the thong version instead! |

Squeem has the best compression. But I regret buying this version after I bought the thong version. It is not flattering with jeans and leggings because of the "granny" show through the pants. It's better to buy the thong version and you can even wear your own underwear under. Also, I bought the black and the rubber part does not look black, but rather worn out, so the nude is definitely better. For the underwear part, the hook and eye closure is the way to go so my advice is to make sure to choose this. |

I just received the pants and loved them right away. I bought grey small. Although I think I might like the higher waisted version better just because I'm scared these 5'' will roll down, but hopefully they won't (I'm a skinny size 2/XXS but my sides/lovehandles are my main trouble area. These are great because I don't always want to wear my Squeem compression thong (Squeem still has the best control in my opinion but I don't like the rubber part). These pants are moderate control but they're very comfortable! I don't think you would want super firm control for these pants anyway because they might cause your flab to come out from the top of the pants. Overall, great quality and the fit of the leggings part was smooth, tight, and sexy. Seems warm enough but for Montreal winters a little warmer would help. Happy with first pair, eyes on velvet for next one! |
