Maidenform Women's Minimizing Hi-Waist Fajas Shapewear, Black, M

every thing super

The fabric is too thick, and the design is odd! I am size 12-14 hourglass shape and ordered size L as instructed by the size guide. Leaving the house with it was a big mistake. It painfully pressed on my ribs under the breasts while being way too loose in the ties and bum area. And it rolls. From both the ties and waste direction. Halfway through the day I went to the toilet, removed it and chalked it to the bin.

Esta faja está excelente, ya que no se baja ni se enrolla una vez puesta. Sirve perfectamente para moldear la figura y evitar que se vean esos rollitos extra.

All the other makes do not meet the standards of Maidenform. These garments stay put and are far superior. This is a very competitive price.

***Product update**- I first tried this garment 2 weeks post tt. I felt like it didnt control my swelling enough. Flash forward to 7 weeks post tt, where my swelling is minimal and I wear a garment mostly for skin sensitivity at this point- I tried it again and it works great, more flexible and comfortable than the garment the doctor gave me. It is not as tight as my doctor-garment, but it does hold my stomach in place and I'm able to wear it under more outfits than the doctor-garment because it is less noticeable.I still can't wear it under jeans because it squishes my butt (I probably needed a Medium to cover my butt, but the small fits my stomach & back just fine). But it stays up great and does what it's supposed to do. *Original review** I bought this girdle to wear after a tt. The garments the doctor gave me go all the way to my thighs and squish my butt, so I was looking for something less noticeable that I could wear under jeans, ect. I was 5'5, 145lbs before surgery and nornally wear an xs/small shirt. The Maidenform Flexees is good in that it does stay up- it does not roll down. I ordered a small and it fit fine. What I did not like is that it's not as tight around my lower stomach, it doesn't hold it in as well so it didn't control my swelling as needed. Also, the shorts part doesn't fit over my butt so it just pushes down and creates funky rolls in jeans. All in all, it's not a bad faja and I think if you're looking for something to wear regularly and not after surgery, that this will be fine.

TL;DR: I definitely recommend this shapewear!! I recently gained 15 pounds due to my birth control and have been trying to lose it (unfortunately stopping the birth control did not help). I have lost 9 pounds so far but I still wanted a little control under my clothing so that it did not seem that noticeable while I try to shed the last 6 pounds. I considered purchasing Spanx but decided to purchase these beforehand due to the affordable price. I am not disappointed! This product smooths everything down and the bottom legs do not ride up. I'm even considering purchasing one with longer legs for thigh control! My only annoyance is that the top part rolls down slightly by itself. It has a "rubber" part on it to stick to your skin in order to prevent this, but it doesn't always work. I can deal with this because of the control it provides, but be aware of that. I have a bigger booty and hips and I was worried that the bottoms would roll up when I sat down and such, but this was not an issue for me. I wear a Medium in everything (tops, bottoms, bras, underwear, etc.) so I decided to purchase the Medium, but the size chart instructed that I should purchase a small due to me being a size 6. As I waited for it to arrive, I was nervous that I should have ordered a Small but after it arrived I was very happy with my size purchase. When I took it out of the bag I was not sure it would even fit. It LOOKED like a small, but it doesn't fit like a small. This product fits perfectly. It's not too tight but it still smooths my tummy and buttocks. It's also very light and breathable. I would purchase whatever size you normally wear and do not go by the size chart (but this may just be my experience). I definitely recommend this for the price, quality, and fast shipping. (Although the first one I purchased was lost in the mail due to the carrier losing my package. Amazon quickly corrected the error and sent me another with my prime account for no charge).
