I think this a great product to help with tummy and thigh control / shaping. But it's no miracle cure. I had a baby 10 months ago and was hoping it would flatten what is left of my belly back to a size 4 (my original size) but it just helped me look better in a size 6. Maybe my expectations where too high :-) Overall great product, I would buy it again to look slimmer on a dress or a skirt!
I never thought I would be using Spanx until I had a baby a year ago. The model on the Spanx cover does not do you any good because she is already thin but the product did deliver in reducing the amount of belly fat that I have. There is still a bulge because the spanx does not squeeze in the belly fat like a corset would. Overall the product is fair, just wish it could control belly better.
I had to fit into a dress I hadn't worn in over 5 years, and this really slimmed things up and kept pooches and bulges around the waistline to a minimum. Made me feel confident wearing a dress that was previously just a bit too tight. Love it, highly recommended!
