Q: As someone who is 5'6.5 and 188 lbs, would it be better to get a size L or XL?
submitted by Rose - 3 years ago
A: This style is based in hip measurement. Size small fits a hip measurement of 34-38 inches, size medium fits a hip measurement of 39-41 inches, size large fits a hip measurement of 42-44 inches, size xl fits a hip measurement of 45-47 inches, and size 2xl fits a hip measurement of 48-50 inches.
Guests appreciate the shapewear for its comfort, effective shaping, and affordability. It provides good support for the stomach and back, and many find it suitable for wearing under dresses. However, some guests experienced issues with the fit, rolling, and material causing dresses to twist.

Best Shapewear
I like this brand of shapewear due to the fact that it fits well, it doesn’t roll up my thighs , you are not able to see where it stops on the thigh And there is no visible zipper; no indication that I am wearing any shaper. I absolutely love the no panty line. I am 196 5’6 I order a large and it fits perfectly. Even when I was 170 the large fit me the best..

Great for postpartum compression garment.
Used for postpartum! I hate anything that makes it impossible to breathe in. This is a very breathable fabric and thin. I was looking for some sort of compression garment to help with my pelvic pain. I don't know how they fit with regular clothes though since I'm going to keep wearing these postpartum.

Ill keep them, though
Not very slimming. That’s the reason for -1 star. Too tight for lack of slim factor takes another star. I’ll keep cuz they work well as shorts for the thighs and do seem to allow for air flow.

Causes dresses to twist
Causes dresses to twist like crazy. The material is smooth if you run your hand across it to the left, but grippy if you run your hand across to the right. This causes dresses to twist as you move or walk which is super annoying. Wore these under a dress and could not figure out why the dress kept twisting, thought it was just that dress until it happened again with another dress and I finally figured out these were the culprit

Sensational Shaper
This is my first ever shaper & I have to say that it fit well and was comfortable to wear (not too tight or binding). It fits true to size and adds a nice shaping for the belly area.
