Let me start by saying I was skeptical about this shapewear at first. I've tried so many 'miracle' tummy control pieces that either rolled up, dug in, or made me look like a stuffed sausage. But this one? It’s a game-changer.

The compression is FIRM but not suffocating. I wore it under a fitted dress for a wedding, and for once, I didn’t feel like I needed to suck in my stomach all night. The material is thick yet breathable—no weird sweating issues even after 8 hours.

Pro tip: LISTEN to the sizing advice! I normally wear Medium but got Large based on reviews. At first glance, it looked tiny when unfolded, but the stretch is incredible. Just remember to step into it feet first (yes, I learned the hard way—almost got stuck pulling it over my head like a t-shirt!).

My favorite unexpected benefit? The adjustable straps actually stay put! No constant shoulder tugging like other shapewear tanks. It’s become my secret weapon for bloated days—I’ve even worn it alone under blazers when I want smooth lines without full shapewear drama.

The only con: The chest area flattens slightly if you’re busty (I’m a C cup). But for waist smoothing and back support? 10/10. Already bought a second one in nude!
