Maidenform Women's Waist Trainer Shapewear, Tummy Control Waist Cincher with Lace, Ultra Firm Control Corset

Okay I absolutely LOVE this!! Love, love, love it! I wasn't expecting much but it's legit the most comfortable waist trainer I've ever worn. I usually wear a L and sometimes XL. My waist is 36 inches and hips 44. I sized down to a medium and I'm glad I did. The material feels cooling and smooth against my skin. Not hot at all. Even though it's tight, I hardly notice it's on. I don't want to take it off at all. I have weird sensory issues too and feel hot and uncomfortable easily. It's also long enough, when I sit down the bottom sits just above my pelvic bone and top about an inch underneath my bust. It is sooo pretty too. I can't believe it was only $15. I'm defffinitely buying more. Highly recommend, great product!!!Edit: I just measured my waist with it on and it's taken off a full 2 1/2 inches with it on. My waist is 36 inches without it and 33 1/2 with it!

I was so happy to get it quickly! Haven’t had time to use it yet!I was so happy with the gift ( necklaces) included in the order! Thank you!It’s really tight! I was going to return it, starting the return, but I decided to wear it for awhile & now I am keeping it!I think it’s going to work! It’s tight which I wanted, but after you wear it a bit, it relaxes a bit. I think with a little time it will be comfortable!

So I couldn't decide between the Flexees vs. the Squeem shapewear so I bought both to compare. To be honest I kept both but here's some feedback if it helps anyone.I am 5'4", 130lbs, 35" bust, 30.5"waist, 35" hips.If you are looking for good waist control the Flexees definitely does the job at a GREAT price. I bought the medium and it fits perfectly (it was hard to pick a size after reading all the reviews). I can wear it for hours, but definitely after 8 hours you will start noticing the boning jabbing into your chest. I am not well endowed but if you are I would imagine it would be a lot more painful/troublesome. Bottom line though, it really smooths out my sides and gives me curves where I don't really have them. I wear it interchangeably with the Squeem (described below). I never wore any kind of waist controller before a few months ago and now I'm addicted. I didn't think I would want to wear them everyday but it's actually quite comfortable and keeps my posture. I don't know about the reviews that say to wear it backwards....I wear it w/the closures in the front and it looks/works great.The Squeem is made out of a weird material I thought I would hate but it's also quite comfortable. The Squeem definitely has firmer control and pulls my waist in a little bit more. I can also wear this for about 8 hours a day before I really start noticing it. I bought this in the medium and to my surprise it came with 2 rows of eye hooks that give you about 1/2 inch option (i.e. tighter if you want it). I think this extra row is great. This is more expensive than the Flexee but gives firmer control. There is a "plastic" smell but other people won't notice it and you only notice it when you are taking in on/off.I have a pair of Spanx. Don't bother buying any kind of control from them. They don't do as good of a job, and in order for them to stay put they need to snap at the crotch (really annoying when it's bathroom time) AND they have straps that pull on your shoulders. And they are insanely expensive compared to Flexees or Squeems.Bottom line - worth the price and works well

I realize this is a step down both in price and quality from the squeem. These may not be comparable items but they are the two I used so I will compare.Before and after pic provided. Huge belly issue after baby.I am 145lb/athletic. I got the small and it felt slightly large compared to the squeem which I can hardly close. I may need an XS but after a day of wearing sizing down may be painful.Here are pros and cons:Pros: this is by far much prettier than a squeem. The design makes this blend in better with black undergarments. I can easily breath in this and the fabric is breathable. This appears more like a waist trainer, it tapers much more l giving me an hourglass figure. It fits nice under a dress versus a squeem.Con: because it tapers it feels like slouching can make bulges more apparent. It slims but doesn't hide imperfections as well as squeem. By mid day my sides were aching. I can almost feel the thing falling apart a little too. It felt fragile.Overall I think this his a good item for $20 and wearable for about 3-4 hours e.g a dinner out, not any longer because of discomfort.

I was not optimistic when I ordered this, but I needed something to wear under dresses. I started a new medication. I used to be a size zero and I can’t afford a full new wardrobe right now. For a corset, it’s extremely comfortable! I can wear it all day with no trouble. I can bend easily, it doesn’t shift or move, it doesn’t roll, and it’s actually really cute! None of the lines show under my clothing, I even went dancing at a nightclub for hours with no trouble! I am currently a size 4 and it allows me to easily fit into size 0 clothing around the waist. Adding shapewear shorts is the best combo! The corset goes underneath the shorts and then I’m good to go. I can wear anything! And I look amazing. Thank you so much Maidenform for designing a functional but also pretty, high quality, and well made corset option for women!
