Perfect after surgery recovery
I'm a 2X breast cancer survivor and have had 5 breast surgeries (among other surgeries). I say that so it's understood that I have had to wear my fair share of compression garmets. I originally bought this for use after diep flap surgery (breast surgery #4) but it didn't seem right when I attempted to put it on. It seemed too small and too hard to put on. I felt it would have hurt the healing incisions on my stomach just trying to get it on. Also those incisions required daily care and i had drains to deal with at first. Fast forward 3 months later to my revision surgery and it is perfect. This surgery involved fat graphing to the breast using fat liposuctioned from the abdomen and saddlebag area. 1 day after surgery I am comfortable and i feel well compressed in my whole abdomen area (I have a long torso).Going to the bathroom hasn't been too bad either. I just unhook the clasps and go. I have been hooking only 2 of the 3 clasps down there. The only thing that makes it a little difficult for me is I don't have all of my arm range of motion from prior surgeries but I still make it work. After using the restroom, I pull the back flap forward as much as I can and then hook it to the front flap.With all my other compression garmets usually I become uncomfortable somewhere or I don't feel properly compressed where I need to be. A couple of my good ones seem to cut into the top of my inner thigh after a few hours. This one has been so comfortable. The nurse told me to bring my compression garmet to surgery and they will put it on me afterwards. So I woke up from surgery with this garmet on yesterday morning. I noticed the right side shoulder strap was on twisted on both my compression garmet and bra (most of the work was done on the right side). I was starting to correct it and straighten them out but thought it might have been done on purpose so I left it that way. After seeing some of the comments complaining about straps cutting into their shoulder, im starting to think it's why they did my straps this way. The whole strap cannot cut into my shoulder now. I don't know for sure if that's why they twisted those straps but i thought i'd pass it along in hopes that it helps someone else with that issue.Before and after diep flap surgery I was 5'6 and 181 pounds. My measurements before yesterday's revision surgery was 40-35-43. I was on the border of both size large and XL but I'm really glad I had the large for this surgery. Luckily it was a perfect fit but if it was any tighter it wouldn't have worked.I hardly ever write reviews but as I'm sitting here comfortably 1 day after surgery (with nothing else to do lol) I felt i should share my experience with this garmet since it's not rated 5 stars. That held me back from purchasing it for months and then when I did it wasn't right for the first surgery 3 months ago but it was perfect for this surgery. I'm glad i didn't rate this back then. Sometimes a garmet isn't the right one for certain situations but it doesn't mean it isn't perfect for others. If after washing and wearing this again it holds up well, I will be purchasing another one. As of now this is a 5 star item for me

Fantastic, but I had to return and size down.
US imperial pounds/inches. 190lbs, 5'1" 42- 35 - 46, my stress/cortisol fupa belly (below belly button) is 39".I ordered a XL, and it was comfortable to wear, comfortable around my 29" upper thighs, and smoothed out my lumps and rolls. however in order to achieve a compression fit, I would need to order a size down. I have a long torso, so the design is perfect for me. It wasn't too tight, but I'm looking to suck in my gut to wear under a cocktail dress, so I need to size down to a Large.

Worth the money
Based on other reviews I read on other shape wear products as well as this one, I’m going to give a completely honest review.I have a trip coming up and needed new shape wear since my old set is worn and not sturdy anymore. I really just needed something to last this 5 day trip and most likely sit in my drawer after that point until I really needed it again. I was kind of hoping it would turn out to be something I’d adopt into wearing daily, but I don’t think this shape wear set is good for that. It fits perfectly and comfortably which I like. It gives me a slight figure, but the change is not as drastic as I was hoping for. I’m not sure if sizing down would have made a difference. Regardless, it does smooth and shape well and I really like how adjustable the straps are without digging into my skin. My only problem; The rubber lining around the leg holes is extremely uncomfortable. I have red blisters forming around my rear area and in my bikini line from the friction of it. And yes, I am wearing underwear with it so I feel like it shouldn’t be causing so much friction. For that, I have to dock a star. Overall, it is a nice set for comfortability while still keeping you smooth.

Great product if it fits. Size up.
This faja fits tighter than others so I had to do a return—but they had me keep it.After I lost about 20 pounds I tried it again and it works great, really gives me a shape but I’m able to breathe. What I don’t like is the hook and eye crotch so I’m gonna revise the suit with Velcro or something easier and I’m ordering one in black now because I like it so much. I had bought the first one on sale and this is substantially more so it was a good investment for them. But it works better than those pull on spandex shapers so ima keep using these for a shaper.
