First off, I was skeptical about shapewear in general, but this thong style shaper changed my mind. The two-layer midsection design actually works to flatten my tummy without feeling like I'm being squeezed to death. Medium compression is perfect for daily wear.

The seamless fabric is a game-changer! I wore it under a tight dress and zero panty lines – magic. Plus, the high waist stays put thanks to those anti-slip steel bones (no rolling down drama like other brands).

Breathability gets an A+. Wore it for 12 hours during a wedding and didn't feel like I was in a sauna. The nylon-spandex blend moves with you – did yoga poses in the bathroom stall to test (don't judge).

Now the real talk: If you're expecting Kim K-level waist snatching, lower expectations. It smooths rather than transforms. My food baby still shows when sitting, but standing? Hello hourglass illusion!

Pro tip: Size up if between sizes. Got mine in usual size and while wearable, could've been comfier one size larger. Still reaches holy grail status in my drawer though!
