Let me start by saying - this shapewear is a GAME CHANGER for my postpartum body. As someone who just had a baby 4 months ago (my fourth child!), I needed something that would actually work without feeling like a torture device.

The compression is no joke - it completely smoothed out my apron belly and gave me back my waist definition. I was shocked how well it worked considering I'm 220lbs. The fabric feels surprisingly breathable, and I can wear it all day without feeling restricted.

Now about those bathroom hooks - they're... interesting. While the concept is great, as a plus-size woman I found them nearly impossible to undo. My solution? Just sliding it down like regular shapewear. Not ideal, but not a dealbreaker either.

The straps are genius with their striped design that prevents slipping, though some might find them too loose if you're larger chested. For me at 5'6" with DD cups, they worked fine at the tightest setting.

Pro tip: SIZE DOWN! I normally wear medium but got XS/S based on reviews and it fits perfectly snug. This thing disappears under clothes - no visible lines even under tight dresses.

Is it perfect? No. But for $20? Absolute steal. It's become my secret weapon for looking put-together while chasing four kids around!
