Let me start by saying I was skeptical about buying a compression garment online, but this one surprised me. The 9 steel bones genuinely feel like a second skeleton—supporting my back without digging in. I wore it after my BBL, and the adjustable hooks (4 rows!) let me customize the pressure as my swelling went down.

The crotch zipper? A game-changer. Unlike other brands with frustratingly short zippers, this one runs front-to-back, making bathroom trips actually manageable (yes, even with a bidet!). The mesh outer layer kept me from overheating, though I did notice slight thigh looseness—probably because I have slimmer legs.

Here’s the real test: After 7 days of 24/7 wear (minus showers), the seams held up except for one spot that started fraying. But shoutout to the seller—they rushed a replacement immediately. Most shapewear rolls up when you sit, but the silicone strips and flat boning here kept everything in place.

Pro tip: Grab the thinner butt area when putting it on—way easier than wrestling with other brands. Just size up if you’re between measurements; the waist runs snug. For post-op support that doesn’t feel like medieval torture? 10/10 would compress again.
