For starters- I am 5'3 (and a half!) and I weigh approximately 135 lbs. I have a long torso and short legs. My spare tire is about two fistfulls big and side muffin top is and bra rolls are only about a two pinches (or one large pinch) of flab. That will give you an idea (hopefully) of how well this products works on a particular body type.

Heres a hint: I usually get medium sized clothes, but I bought a small size shaper and that worked out well for me.

Pros: It does a fairly good job of supporting if you are only moderately chubby. When you eat it holds your tummy in at about half roll (so suck in your tummy half way and you'll get the idea). It does great with smoothing the rolls if they aren't too big and flattens them a little too. If you pair it with a gel push up bra, you will create a nice full (and not saggy)booby effect. I must say I never looked quite so full and perky before. There is an opening at the crotch area that stays closed (due to overlap), but if you squat, like an ocean, it parts. It does make you actually appear a more fit than you are, but your chubby arms will surely be a telltale sign that say, "I'm a wearing a shaper, pass the doughnuts!!" Also, it keeps me comfortable in extremely hot weather strangely and I really didnt experience any leg roll ups. It's thin and lightweight which somehow makes it feel less like shapewear.

Cons:
I did say it parts, but not so wide that I trust it to function on it's own without assistance. In other words, I parted it wider because I feared I'd pee on myself. Plus, being a prude, I wore underwear underneath the suit (some of you less bashful gals may not need to, there is what appears to be panty lining in the crotch area where it opens). Essentially I had to pull my underwear to the side (under the suit no less!- in hindsight it might have been easier if I had it over the suit instead) while holding open the bottom suit wider with tp in hand so as to wipe immediately. I said I have a long torso, right? Couple that with a smaller sized suit than normal and the shoulder straps will make it feel as if you've been carrying a 20 lb backpack with spaghetti straps way too long after about four hours. lf you are wearing a bra with a wire I guarantee you that you will feel it in about four hours as well since it is being squashed down in every which way by the suit.

All in all, vanity wins over comfort! It smooths the bumps, flattens the tummy moderatly (dont expect a miracle- a half miracle at best) gives the boobs a nice supportive look, and kept me comfortable in 102 degree heat. (wicked sweat away?) But don't expect to wear this for more than 4 hours without starting to experience the side effects- the worst being the wire from my bra smashing down into the sides of me bilaterally and becoming quite sore.

This is the best shaper I've ever tried. It smooths everything out without feeling too restricting. I wanted to find something better than the long spanx 'shorts' that come up to just below my bra line, which is great around the hips and waist, but gives a lumpy bumpy look around my back where the top of the spanx and bra strap sit. I don't have much 'back fat' but that style seems to make it appear that I do - not good. I looked around and this is recommended on other sites and regularly gets 5 stars which is why I tried it - and I am impressed.

This all-in-one smooths it all out and thanks to the shoulder straps I don't feel like it's about to fall down or shift about when I'm wearing it. The smooth shape I get makes up for the fact you have to practically undress to pee (but who cares - nobody sees you doing that!) I like that I can push the panels that cut across the bra area to the sides so it doesn't interfere with the bust line. It feels light and not at all sweaty. It's great under pants or dresses and skirts. It gives great support and slims me down without feeling like I'm being squeezed - I'd recommend this to my friends (and have!)
A great lightweight but very effective shaper.

The good is that it is very lightweight and you can wear your own bra with it. I wish more had that feature. The bad is that it is almost too lightweight causing the legs to roll up. I could manage to wear it under a dress but not with my slacks. It looked horrible! It needs a tighter band around the bottom of the legs to hold it down. Size runs small in my case. I had to order a size up. My advice is that if you have a lot to slim down or cover up (meaning "rolls") then this is not the product for you.

I'm a professional costumer and I make a lot of spandex unitards (dance costumes, superhero suits, etc). As you may imagine, the pursuit of good underwear is a lifetime saga for me.

Full disclosure: I'm 5'6" and athletic from years of martial arts. I have no tummy or muffin top to speak of, but like all healthy women I have a layer of fat under my skin. And most underwear creates lumps at the edges--that's just a fact.

This lightweight singlet does not compress--it smooths everything from shoulders to mid-thigh. I can wear my own bra with it, for push-up. For dresses that are deeply plunging at the neckline, the stretchy nylon bust of this singlet controls the jiggle enough that I don't need a separate bra. (I am an athletic B/C cup, so other ladies may not be able to exercise this option.)

In short, this singlet is darn near a perfect solution for me. I've already recommended this to all my costuming clients, and I'm going to buy a second one ASAP.

When choosing your size, keep in mind that no "slimming" bodysuit is going to make you skinnier, despite what the advertising implies. If you wear something too tight it will squish all the appealing curves into a vague sausage-shape.

Also, knit fabrics like nylon tricot ("spandex") distribute their stretch in four directions. If you stretch it 75% widthwise, it can only stretch 25% lengthwise, which contributes to the shoulder-strap digging other reviewers have reported. So if you have any doubts about your size, order a size up. If you are thin but tall, order a size up. If you are petite but well-padded, order a size up.

In all, this is a great product for women who don't need or want a lot of compression.

TWENTY pounds off. That's what it looks like. Not convinced? Get this:
1. Got back fat or nasty rolls around the bra? Gone. I had to look twice because I couldn't believe my eyes. Clingy tees and dresses...hello again!
2. It holds in my c-sectioned tummy in better than other ones made specifically for the stomach! My tummy looks 16 yrs old in this thing and I'm 39.
2. No muffin top like other shapewear.
3. It doesn't migrate -- hallelujah.
4. It's breathable and isn't hot in summer.
5. It doesn't have seams that show thru clothing.
6. It holds the "girls" nicely north and makes great cleavage by pushing them together slightly.
7. It erases the fat under your armpits next to your chest...know what I mean? Hard to explain that one.

The only thing I'd change is I'd make the legs go down below the knee. But I've bought this more than once and wear it often. This thing is fabulous ladies. Heaven sent! You won't be disappointed!

The thing does what it's supossed to, it smoothes out rools and tightens the tummy and obliques, I actually feel like I'm being held together it's so supportive. I love the open chest area because you can wear a bra and the fabric will add a little boost to your bosom or if your flatter you can go without and it still creates a flattering cleavage without smashing yor girls down. My only gripes are that the straps dig into your shoulders after several hours and the leg seams leave visible lines if you have on skinny jeans. I wear a large/size 10-12 in clothing and purchased a medium and a large. They both work well but I find the strap digs to be less of a problem with the large size.

I have a new baby and can fit into none of my clothes. I bought this onesie in the hopes of getting into my old clothes, and it totally worked. I've tried girdles and corsets in the past, and this is much more comfortable. I was nervous to use the pee hole, but it worked fine.

I purchased this product because of the glowing reviews here and glad I did. I did buy 1 size up because I've read that it ran small, I think i could've gotten away with 1 size down, but I am getting another one in a smaller size. It doesnt roll up at the thighs or roll down at the bra straps. I however wished the upper back was a done a bit more seamlessly like the bust area. I find that if i am wearing a super drapey top, it does show the shaper's indentation on my upper back so I just solve that issue with a cropped cardi. Overall great product and will totally recommend this to my friends.

I love this flexees garment. It is lightweight and very supportive around the medsection! The length is right above the knee, I have full thighs and there is a slight indentation at the bottom under stretch jeans, but under regular jeans it is not noticeable. Great under dresses!

Perfect shaper!! Comfortable and smooths me out completely. The sizing info is accurate if you are honest with yourself about your measurements. The legs don't roll up on me at all, and I love the straps. No back bulges under my bra and it helps lift up your bust. Best shaper I have ever tried and that includes spanx!
