Just got my Stage 1 full-body faja and WOW - this thing is no joke! The Powernet material feels sturdy yet breathable, and the hip area's lycra blend gives my BBL curves serious love. As a curvy gal (5'9", 240lbs), the XL fits like a second skin without rolling up - major win!
The 3-level hook closure is genius for adjusting as swelling goes down. But PSA: this is MEDICAL compression, not regular shapewear. It's TIGHT. I live in mine except during showers (the zippered crotch is life-saving for bathroom breaks).
Few gripes though: The arms could be tighter, and the non-stretchy crotch zipper sometimes gives me a medieval wedgie. Also wish it extended below knees to avoid sausage-leg effect. Pro tip: Add bra foam inserts if the thin breast fabric leaves you chilly!
After 62lbs weight loss + tummy tuck, I'm now between sizes - medium for daytime, small with padding at night. The bunching at my short torso digs in painfully unless I add cushioning.
Verdict? 4/5 stars. Pricey but worth it for serious post-op support - just be ready to MacGyver some adjustments!
