Like the last reviewer said it's tricky to put on using the little straps that go around your bra...that is a FACT. A front closure bra might help some. Even though I (finally and after a lot of cussing) got the straps around my bra, the garment still gapped underneath the bra on both sides of the back strap, which is right in the middle. That is the only place in the back there is a strap to hold the whole back of the girdle up.

Then there is one strap under each arm that goes around your bra there. It pulled down on my bra there causing scrunching. There is one strap in front in the middle too, which I don't need to use.

The directions say to attach the Spanx/straps to the bra and 'step' into the garment. RIGHT!! Much easier said than done.

For it to stay up properly in the back I think it needs straps not only right in the middle, but also to the left and right of the middle, in between that and the under the arm ones. I can't really use mine...A waste of money, I already removed the tags and can't send it back. I have another Spanx that is the same but without the little straps and I can't use that either, as it does creep down in the back. Unless you don't MOVE that is. So altogether I have spent about $150 for Spanx stuff I can't use.

There must be a better way to fasten those straps....maybe sturdy SNAPS or velcro or something, and they should fasten right to the TOP edge of the garment, as it is they hook half an inch down on the inside and that causes the top edge to tend to roll out and cause bulk there.

Not happy!

Want to lose 10 lbs around your midsection without plastic surgery? Buy this immediately! This is truly amazing. You will look and feel better in your clothes (especially low fitting pants and slim knit dresses). A tad tricky to get into (practice or give yourself plenty of time when getting ready). But other than that...this thing is worth its weight in gold. I'm buying at least one more! :)

Its amazing! I read some other neative reviews and I was skeptical at first. I, however, love the product. I feel 10lbs thinner! It is definately just for special occasions, its more comfortable than your average "gertle", but not so that you would want to wear it normally. The little straps that go over your bra are a pain to fasten so have someone help. Also, they actually put thought into having to pee and built in this opening, which is thoughtful but tricky-haha. Overall, I would recommend it to someone trying to smooth out. I am about a 8 and easily went down a size.

I went by the size guide on their website, but upon receiving it, I wish I had gotten a size smaller... it was a bit too loose in some areas. Also, you need the kind with the straps around the bra, because without it, this thing inches its way down like they are all prone to doing. Other than that, this does smooth out problem areas quite well.

I've enjoyed this product. I wear a 16-18 Womens and ordered the 1X Spanx. It fit well. It worked just as described and can be worn for even an entire workday.

Okay, let me just say it is an incredible gymnastic feat to pull this onto your body. I have been wearing generic 'Spanx' for years to smooth out bumps and what-not, but nothing has ever been a challenge like this.

I got some good advice. Buy a size too small. I would have been inclined to buy a 1X, as I wear a 14 or 16 dress size; but I went ahead and bought the XL. Seriously thought about buying the L... Anyway, buy the smallest one you can possibly justify. This bad boy will suck you in, tighten you up, and absolutely correct your posture. Plus, if you are top heavy this thing is amazing because you can WEAR YOUR OWN BRA! None of those absurd, flimsy little bras built into body shapers that leave you bouncing more than Baywatch.

The straps to your bra are tricky at best. Very thoughtful though. Going to the restroom is a challenge of your grace and athleticism, but can be done.

Overall, I would say a definite yes to another of these. Girls, we jiggle! This will make sure you don't.

I purchased Spanx in Feb. The large was huge on me so I called to do an exchange. They said they would send a Med and credit me for the return when they received it. When I didn't get a credit I called several times and was told they may not have processed it yet, try back. Later I was told that they had changed their customer service company and couldn't look up my order anymore, that they would have to put in a request and someone would call me back within 24-72 hrs. I called three times and no one ever called me back. The kicker is that my credit card company can't file a dispute now because they put me off for more than 60 days. Now I am out the $72 for the return AND out $72 for the medium because even in the correct size I think this product is WORTHLESS!!! Even with the bra loops is falls down and it does not suck me in as well as my other shapers. Yes, it is more comfortable, but who cares if it doesn't get the job done!!!!!!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT AND BE WARRNED IF YOU DO THAT THEY HAVE HORIABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Not to mention the fact that Target carries a line called Assets by Sara Blakely that is exactly the same stuff for half the price!

This sounded like an ideal product because I could use it with my own bra. However, like some of the other reviewers said, it's not so easy to get on, the straps are stupid, but if you don't use them, the suit rolls down and hurts, and don't even think about going to the bathroom! It works, but like all my Spanx, it doesn't really live up to the claims because it rolls up, it rolls down, and i'm always adjusting something.Still, I must admit I haven't found anything that slims me down so well...but there must be something else out there.

I had been wanting SPANX for so long. Today, I finally got my order. What a disappointment! The waist is not meant for the average-height woman (I'm 5' 4'-1/2"). Because it is too long, it has a definite crease in the back and rolls down. The straps that attach the shaper to a bra don't keep the shaper up; they draw the bra down! I cannot recommend this product and wish I could rate this under 1 star.

I had high hopes for this, but it was a let down. While the front of it stays up great, the back rolls down. And unless you are an octopus, good luck pulling the back part up. Size is not the issue. If I ordered it any bigger, it would have been too big. Think long and hard before you order it, because you can only return it unused, which is pointless because how do you know it fits until you try it on!?
