Yep. I put this thing on backwards. Don’t judge. After the 5 minute struggle to pull it over my booty it looked RIDICULOUS. My lower abdomen stuck out, my booty was flat, and I had the double boob thing going on upstairs. My body actually looked WORSE with it on. Horrified, I took it off with the immediate plan to return it and give a bad review. Back into the package it went. Once I came onto Amazon to start the return process, I realized that I was DUMB and put the darn thing on BACKWARDS. Don’t make that mistake. TRUST ME. Once I tried it on CORRECTLY, and all the body parts were where they were supposed to be, I was amazed to find out that the garment did its job nicely. Remember, compression and smoothness comes at a PRICE. Getting this thing on burns some calories. If you have no booty, this garment won’t give you one, but if you do, your butt stays the same shape, just smoothed out. That could be good, or that could be really bad. Only you know the shape of your butt. The thighs were comfortable, it didn’t roll up and it didn’t cut in. Most importantly, the thigh length and fabric is perfect to prevent the dreaded THIGH RUB. Moving on, the front of the garment does a decent job of holding the lower abdomen and belly in. Now, this is no magical shaper, but it does a good job of making whatever you have closer to an hourglass shape and smooth. Jiggly parts don’t jiggle and you can actually breathe once it’s on. As for the strange half bra top.... no double boob. I’d recommend wearing a good bra. There’s no point in sucking everything in if you’re just gonna let the girls sag. The purpose of the extra fabric up top appears to be to smooth out the efforts to keep “the girls” facing front. This is nice for those that have side spillage. If you don’t know what that is, lucky you. Once the drama of getting this thing on is over with, the garment is decently comfortable. The straps could be thicker, but they weren’t cutting in. The crotch hole is definitely not pleasant, but neither is lumpy skin and dimply cellulite. I guess you gotta choose your pain. There’s nothing easy about a strategic pee stance while wearing a shaper. If I enjoyed squats I WOULDN'T NEED A SHAPER. “Number 2” is IMPOSSIBLE so don’t wear this after drinking coffee or eating bad sushi. You’ll regret it. All in all, I decided to keep this shaper. I’ve learned that until I can lose the extra weight, the torture of wearing these things is worth it. Oh, and don’t wear it backwards either. 4 stars for a great design. 1 star removed for not making the front obvious to dumb people. I am 63 inches tall and weigh 150. Bust is 36DD, waist is 31, hips 39 and thigh of 23. I should have ordered a large with those measurements but I got the medium because I have been steadily losing weight. I chose black because black is slimming right? I need all the help I can get!
