Im 5'5 about 125-130 size 5-6 ish and 26" waist I ordered a large bc it said if your between sizes order up"¦ do not do that "¦mine was too loose so it did not give me a corset look at all which is what I wanted "¦ sending it back getting a medium so it really sucks me in! However after trying it on it is amazing! Very comfy, the straps don't dig in, it' stays in place under my clothes when I tried on different outfits, you couldn't tell I was wearing it, I could switch out my bra types which I loved, it goes from just below your Tatas to right above your little lady and
That helps with not only your waste but your love handles too! It doesn't roll up or curl down .. I highly recommend and you just can't beat the price! Sent the link to my daughter right away! It's a great find if you're looking for control!

I'm 5'10, 300 pounds, post pregnancy (miscarriage). Got a 2XL, was able to cinch it on the first row, then again, I did measure myself and followed the "couple inches smaller" rule of thumb for waist trainers/cinchers. If you're like me, a little on the larger side, remove the bars in the back of the trainer. Makes a whole world of difference. I'm very comfortable, able to sit, stand, after awhile, I forget I'm even wearing it. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 stars is because of the bars in the back of the waist trainer, which made it super uncomfortable. Another huge plus is, if you're on the heavier side, one annoyance with girdles and some stomach wraps is we have wide backs, so the garment folds down on the top half of the back. With this product, that doesn't happen. It's almost like wearing a bathing suit, keeps everything tucked in.

UPDATE: I started weight training this past Monday (10/16). The first picture was taken on that day. The second picture I took this morning, Saturday 10/21. I'm already on the second row of hooks, already lost about 2.5 inches off the waist. This is, of course, in conjunction with weight training and minor diet adjustments.

I ordered based on the size chart and it was too big. It's well made. I do use it to workout in- mainly to sweat. But it being to big, defeats the waist training purpose. I have it on the smallest loop and it's no tight at all.

I have several of these supports for back pain. The Velcro types do not fit well and ride up and bunch around my waist. Doesn't feel good or look good. I live on a farm and need to wear a support when I am feeding the animals. Lifting Buckets of feed and water makes my back ache. This support helps me a lot and it is easy to put on and comfortable to wear. The three rows of hooks make it adjustable and the shoulder straps are nice also. They are adjustable and the elastic is very stretchy but supportive.

I followed the sizing chart and ordered based on my waist size. It was too big. I returned it and ordered the next size down. It is better, but I can still put it on the tightest hook with no difficulty. So I'm not sure where they're measuring, but it's definitely not at the natural waist. It is a high quality product though, and a great price.
