Okay, so I’ve tried a LOT of waist trainers over the years, and this one? It’s a game-changer. First off, the material is thick but not suffocating—like a firm hug from someone who actually cares about your posture.

The sizing was spot-on for me (5’3”, 195lbs, 3XL). Pro tip: USE THE SIZE CHART. Don’t eyeball it like I did with my first few fails. The hooks are sturdy AF—no fear of them bending mid-squeeze like cheaper ones.

Two quirks: 1) That new latex smell lingers for days (I aired mine out on the balcony). 2) Wrestling into it is a workout itself—enlist a partner unless you want Popeye arms.

Bonus: Customer service sent me an extra one by accident? Free upgrade vibes. Consistency between orders varies slightly, but at this price point, I’m still obsessed.
