Flexees Maidenform Women's Shapewear Minimizing Hi-Waist Boyshort

This is a good brand except, I ordered these from here in India this time. It has been only 2 months and there's a big tear at the butt... I am not sure how it happened. I love this girdle - I ordered one when I was in the U.S. about 2 years ago and that one is still good. Perhaps I got a faulty one with my recent purchase...?

The fabric is too thick, and the design is odd! I am size 12-14 hourglass shape and ordered size L as instructed by the size guide. Leaving the house with it was a big mistake. It painfully pressed on my ribs under the breasts while being way too loose in the ties and bum area. And it rolls. From both the ties and waste direction. Halfway through the day I went to the toilet, removed it and chalked it to the bin.

This shapewear is lovely. Nice and tight on. Holds bits in place and most importantly very comfortable.

Die Hose ist toll,alles sitzt perfekt und nichts rutscht. Ich empfehle sie gern weiter,weil auch Frauen mit einem Bauch sie tragen sollten.

Esta faja está excelente, ya que no se baja ni se enrolla una vez puesta. Sirve perfectamente para moldear la figura y evitar que se vean esos rollitos extra.

I ordered according to the chart and it fit perfectly. I wear a 0 in Torrid tops and a 1 in Torrid bottoms. That makes me a generous 14 on the bottom. So according to that, I bought the L instead of the XL. Seems perfect. I am currently more plump and squishier than I'd like to be, and I hate shapewear that is too tight or cutting on my fleshy upper thighs around the crotch area. That's why I got this boy short version. Yes, it looks alarmingly TINY when you take it out of the bag, but don't despair. And yes, for the unpracticed and/or rusty (me) it IS a little tricky at first to get into, but it is by NO means as difficult as other shapewear I have tried. I will be honest. My first thought as I was trying it on was, "Ok, I probably don't want to get too tipsy at the Halloween party," with visions of me rolling around on the floor of the ladies room wrestling with this thing. But that's more about MY lack of coordination than the minimizer. Once I was triumphantly in it (which truly did not take long) I really, really, really liked how soft and comfortable it is. For anyone complaining it's not as hardcore as Spanx, it's probably not. It's only a 2 out of 3 firmness by its own chart. It's a minimizer, not a magician! Personally, I don't think it's going to take any dress sizes off me, but it IS going to smooth out the bumps and bulges, making what I wear look much nicer and more polished WITHOUT being uncomfortable. In fact, wearing it is actually going to make me feel more comfortable. That's all I ask. If the thing explodes or malfunctions or self-destructs in any other way, I will update my review, and wisely use the "free returns" option that came with the purchase.
