*THIS FAJA SHAPEWEAR IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE* (Extensively tested! Consistent wear for 2 Weeks straight (And counting) Plus drove 9 hours straight while wearing) I'm 5'7, 139-142, 34D-29-36. My body shape is slender/rectangular. I own/use shapewear waist & cinchers but I've been in search of a shaper that is more aggressive & actively works to shape, cinch & waist train while having thigh control and butt lift. I was a little leery because of some of these reviews but THIS SHAPER IS SPECTACULAR!

**This is not your regular Walmart shaper. It has firm compression with 2 layers of fabric! It's strong and pulls you IN! Faja'a are supposed to be AGGRESSIVE! If your not looking for that type of support this is not for you
**LADIES! Get a tape measurement of your waist! If you buy this in the correct size, YES it will be tough to get on but it's SUPPOSED to be! Not only does this pull in my waist giving a tight & toned hourglass shape (YES!!! FINALLY, I HAVE A HOURGLASS BODY(shoocketh) it nicely gives you a noticeable lift in the butt area. If you order YOUR CORRECT size and not the size you THINK you are then this Faja will fit you beautifully!

This shaper is very well made in my opinion. It has two separate layers of fabric so the inside toning layer feels soft against your skin the outside layer is made of some powerful shaping tech. Once you manage to pull it up, position it correctly, close it up & strap in it's not overpowering or uncomfortable. It feels nice like a smooth very firm hug. Incredibly sturdy 3-row hook closures lay pretty flat underneath tight tops. The hooks & eyelets are STRONG so no pulling apart/popping out which is great. One of the features that I loved was the opening in the crotch area for the bathroom! While it IS crotchless, it has a flap of silky fabric that covers the crotch opening so you don't just pop out at the bottom. (I will say that while this feature was very nice, it didn't quite work for me that well. If you have juicy/phat lady parts consider doing what I did and adding just a bit more fabric to help it close completely). Another LOVE is the butt-shaping/lifting this shaper gives. It pulls your cheeks up in a natural but very noticeable way and shapes it nicely. My boyfriend definitely noticed how sexy my figure looks & loves the way I look in leggings! I usually wear this for the entire day from 10am to 10-11pm & it's pretty comfortable and workable. Going to the bathroom is extremely easy too! The suit isn't really noticeable under clothing either. If you like me and like to wear fitted clothing just throw on a tank underneath your tops. I don't even do this most of the time and it still goes unnoticed. I did include pictures so you can see what it looks like under tight shirts & leggings!

Now for the things I weren't in love with: The straps. While they can be comfortable (can be) If they are fitted on your properly, they did leave a weird rash on my back after wearing it while driving. The rash went away quickly so that's not a deal breaker tho. I did notice that the straps were cutting into my armpit area just a little bit. Not enough to hurt but just enough to make the strap fold in and have deodorant residue on them. It says that this can be strapless (I hope they had a good stretch before that reach lol) Yes, you can take the straps out but that just makes the top of the shaper in the back droop horribly. Then the whole shaper starts to kind of move down a bit as time goes on. So wear it with the straps for sure! The thigh area was better than some but not as great as others. It has these nice silicone strips around the inside of the thigh and the legs don't move or ride up throughout the day, even after hours of walking, sitting and standing they stayed in place. Because of the length of these boyshorts, it cuts off right where the fatty part of the inside of my thigh starts. It does give you a little thigh gap that's really cute tho!

All in all I LOVE THIS FAJA! It gives you an incredible hourglass figure, a nicely shaped/lifted butt AND I have noticed my body beginning to change shape because of wearing this which is one of my main reasons for wearing shapers! It offers incredible support and is pretty comfortable! Sometimes I don't even realize I have it on. After 3 weeks of consistent wear, I'm on the 2nd row of hooks & my body is looking pretty hot.

TIPS: Get the right size!!! Do not order your regular shirt size. Make sure you look at the size chart and measure your body before buying! Take your time getting into this baby. When you pull it up position it. Pull it up in the back so that it cups and holds your cheeks. Fasten slowly and BREATH! It may seem like your not going to fit at first but if you order your correct size, believe me, you will! Make sure you take some of these bad reviews with a grain of salt! As long as you get the right size this Faja will fit you like a glove and make your body look sexy, toned and sleek! I will definitely be ordering a smaller size in a month or two & buy other shapers from this seller! (And no I was not paid for my review but if any of you know how to start getting paid for reviews please comment!)

i didnt order a size up so that was my fault , other than that i am 5'4 204 lbs and ive had 9' kids . so ive got alot of extra flabby tummy rolls. and my but droops and is riddled with dimples from celulite. i say these things with difficulty as i feel insecure and depressed about it when i look in the mirror. but i actually felt sexy and confident when i forced myself into this amazingly affective shaper. i didnt think i was gonna be able to fit when i slipoed my legs in, it stoped at the middle of my upper thigh, but as i begain to feel dissapointed i was then curiouse and determined to put its strech to the test so i pulled and wiggled and streched and layed on my bed . i should have ordered one more size bigger. but despite the struggle and size mistake " on my part" i was absolutly amazed my butt looked awesome and my husband took me to the room. that opening at the bottom came to good use lol. buy it youl be satisfied. i am.

I've bought so many fajas and kept returning them because none of them would actually fit properly. This is actually true to size. I just followed the size chart and ordered a small. I'm 30" in waist and 41" in my hips. It will definitely look small but it's suppose to be tight- that's its purpose to reshape your figure. If it's loose than that defeats the purpose of having one. It will take some effort to put it on the first time, it's not going to be easy but totally worth it. I also like that the straps are adjustable and removable like a bra strap. Some fajas our there had a thick strap that's its so hard to hide in some of my outfits. Also the torso part of the faja fits right below my breasts unlike other fajas I bought can almost go up half way over my breasts which is very uncomfortable.

The only cons I have for this product is that as soon as opened the package, it has that rubbery smell.- definitely need to wash first. I also which that the fabric in the butt cut out m area is a bit bigger and more elasticity.

I don't typically write reviews but to find a product that actually works after being dissatisfied from prior purchases, hopefully this can help others who are struggling to find the right product

I just had a BodyTite procedure done on my abdomen along with lipo. I was given a pull on compression garment for after surgery but once some of the tenderness and selling subsided, I went ahead and ordered this tighter garment. I purchased the small because I was on the border of the weight by one pound. I 5'4 with an athletic build and my thighs are not small. So it was a gamble. When I first tried it on, I wore it on the first row of clasps. I noticed that it folded my skin weird underneath so I out my original garment on that goes to my knees and this one on top for now. I can clasp to the third row after wearing a few hours and with the other garment under it .. Is it comfortable? Not really lol...but it's doing its job.

I'm going to wear both like this for a week and then next week I'll switch to this one only.

Also, my first garment had a crotch opening big enough to use the bathroom any which way you needed if you get my drift. But this garment allows you to pee only. Just FYI. But it does have a flap in the crotch so you don't feel like your vagina is going to fall out lol

I purchased this for my stage 2 compression garment. I just had a tummy tuck and breast implants 19 days ago. FOLLOW THE SIZE GUIDE. I thought I could fit a medium but after following the side guide I fell under large. There are instructions on how to properly put it on. It took me 10 minutes the first time and definitely looked wayyyyyy to small when I opened it but it fit and zipped and feels amazing!! I must say I am most impressed by the metal clasps that you have to button before using the zipper. Cheaper versions would have snapped or ripped the stitching when buttoning them up and I know from experience but these held everything in and then zipping up was a breeze. I have very thick thighs so I was also worried about the lace because it's usually too tight for me but it still fit perfectly and does not suffocate my thick girl thighs. For reference I'm 5'6" and about 180lbs and the large fits PERFECT. I obviously used my measurements from after surgery. I can breathe easy and it helps with my posture. Will consider purchasing in other colors as well if I ever need to size down once my swelling continues to go down. Other fajas/compression garments will run you $150+. This is a STEAL!!
