SHAPERX Womens 26 Steel Boned Corset Short Torso Heavy Duty Waist Trainer Corset

This product is amazing! I have never tried waist training and wasn't looking for a product to do this; I was just looking for something to smooth out my flabby tummy when wearing tight clothes since I'm not a huge fan of sit ups. Typically a shaper works fine for me. I don't have a big stomach but since I've had my kid,I'm wider and If I gain weight it increases laterally (love handles) versus protruding forward and I gain in the lower abdomen because I had a c-section. I also keep a ton of back fat so for me it looks like I have a flat stomach (albeit jiggly) with back fat. The problem I run into is the shape wear sometimes roll down my back or I have to buy a full piece which is hell to get out of for the bathroom. But now that I have this I and have tried it on, I am in love and think I might try the "waist training" hype. ' A few things ... sizing: very true to size. if you are in between sizes i.e you are 30.5" versus 30" that's where you might have an issue. That was the case for me. I initially went down because in my case the department store girdles I have bought in the past were never tight enough. When I got the girdle, there was literally a 1/2" opening in the back after I put it on comfortably. Now I could close it but since I'm not use to wearing anything tight, I opted to return it for a size up. It might be worth noting that I had just come on my cycle and might have been extra bloated though... I received the size up and it fit perfect but now I don't think I will have enough reduction opportunity because I can almost close this one too easily.. So that said if you are used to wearing a girdle or such and you are in between size it might be okay go a size down; if not then go a size up. At this price you can always order another one once you get comfortable which is my plan. Length: I ordered the short torso because the ones I have purchased in the past were always too long and irritated me when sitting down and if it wasn't tight it created a bulge in the top part because the material bent at the lower end hitting my thigh when i sat down. I did measure my torso and I did fall within the recommended range for the short torso however, I do feel it's slightly (perhaps an inch) too short in the front. The back is perfect length though. The reason I mention this is that if you have had a c-section like me this might create an issue because it will make the lower part where you are likely to bulge anyway bulge out more. Mine is very small and goes down from time to time depending on how i eat so fortunately this is an easy fix with a cheap panty girdle if I'm wearing something extremely tight. However if you have a huge muffin area issue, you might consider the normal one.. I might try the regular one and update my feedback later on this. Value, Overall this is a great product. I showed my mom and she couldn't believe I paid less than $100. She said it looks like what they had in her day. This is far better than anyone one I've purchased in department stores, lingerie stores etc. and, even better than the custom girdle i had made for a wedding (because this one i can continue to adjust as I lose or gain weight). Also, this looks sexy. I would not be bothered wearing this around my boyfriend and hell I could keep it on during sex lol. Wearing it with clothes: I have no problem wearing this with clothes. I just got my order today and I'm wearing it with a fitted shirt now with no issue. I just tucked the shoe lace under the bottom border. The material is pretty thick that you can't see the lace when tucked under. Read more

I am new to wearing a corset but I feel that this corset fits perfectly, is far more comfortable to wear than I had expected and it was delivered sooner than expected. I am 4' 11", have about a 31 inch waist, ordered an XL in white and currently only tighten the laces so it fits snug, but not too tight to the point I have a hard time breathing, with about 2-3 inches left to close the back together. I am also petite so finding clothing that fits, especially lengthwise, is very difficult but this corset is just the right length! My reasons for buying a corset was: 1) I have been trying to change up my wardrobe and found so many cute corsets that I would like to incorporate but I wanted something to test out before I commit to buying several corsets. This white corset looked affordable and versatile in what it could be worn with. 2) I like the silhouette a corset gives. 3) I study for long periods of time (because solving complex math and physics problems is time consuming) which can cause backaches from unintentional slouching in addition to having a larger cup size than what is comfortably suitable for my petite frame. I read that a corset can help with posture and back support. I have tried core workouts to strengthen my muscles but I it never really helped my back. I have only had my corset for about a week and wear it 30 minutes a day because I want to get used to it slowly, as was recommended in the internet research I did. It does give me better posture while I wear it and I never realized just how much strain my back was constantly under until I put on the corset. I actually feel relieved when I wear it. I am happy with this corset and really like how it looks and makes me feel. I only wear it at home for now but have several outfits I intend on using it over. I have yet to try wearing it under something but it is super cute wearing over a variety of outfits, since white is one of those colors that can go with just about anything. I highly recommend this product and I will likely be buying several more but in different styles. I also recommend that people who are new to corsets research how to wear them and select the right size because several of the bad reviews I have read seem to be the result of not knowing how to wear or select a corset.
