The legs don't ride up. Sits a bit high since I'm
Only 5'1" but still very useful for a growing bump. Offers a secure hold without feeling too tight. Snug but still comfortable.

Daughter loves the support it gives her

I just wanted a smoother and this is perfect! I am 5'8" 190lbs and sized up to the 1X. There is room for my growing belly and it isn't squeezing my thighs.

This is an awesome shaper, especially for the price! Now that it's spring, I've been wanting to wear a lot of dresses and skirts because I get hot so easily. Having worn maternity pants through most of the winter, I grew accustomed to the support of belly panels. Going without any support at all was just so uncomfortable, now that my belly is so much bigger, so I've been looking for something that would allow me to be cool in maxis while still being able to lift up the bump and support my back. This fits the bill perfectly.

In addition to the awesome support, it also helps smooth out new bumps and keeps my legs from touching. I've gained around 28 lbs so far and I just entered my third trimester. I'm definitely noticing my legs touching more than they were before baby and that gets really uncomfortable, especially in the summer. These come down far enough on the thigh to prevent any chaffing, do not ride up while you're walking (something I notice to be a problem with boy-short style shapers) and keep me feeling comfy.

One more nice thing; these aren't crazy shapers like the ones you find when you aren't pregnant, so they do NOT feel constricting even though they do a great job of smoothing out any bumps. The belly panel is stretchy enough that I am confident I will be able to wear this for the rest of this pregnancy.

Pre-pregnancy, I was a size 6/8/10/S/M depending on clothing brand. I've been wearing mediums throughout pregnancy in maternity wear. I was a little nervous about what size to buy because of my weight gain and not knowing how constricting these would be. The S/M fits absolutely perfectly now while still giving me room to grow. The M/L would have been way too big, I think. Order whatever size you would have ordered before pregnancy and you'll probably be very happy.

Overall, love these. Have no complaints whatsoever and will be buying another pair!

Ordered size Small/Medium. 5'8", pre-pregnancy size 6 and 130lb, usually wear a medium in pants/shorts.
These fit great! They smooth things out and are perfect for under a dress. I'm considering buying another pair.
