Wow!
By ER1982 on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2011
This is great! I am small framed 5'6" 115 and have no curves to my frame what so ever. After recently having two kids I had a belly that I was able to rid myself of after my first child by loosing an additional 5lbs from my original normal weight but after the second there was no way to loose even more so I thought I was stuck until I could cough up the money for a tummy tuck. I also have had love handles for as long as I can remember that I have never been able to exercise or diet away for the life of me giving me no shape to my torso. I have tried several types and brands of shape wear and have NEVER had these kind of results. For the first time in my life I have a hour glass figure! Watch out for sizing though!I First I ordered an extra small and when I received it I noticed the sizing chart listed was different then the one on the box and it was way too small. I noticed that in some of the customer posted pictures somebody put the real size chart so be careful to look at that and get the larger size if you are in-between sizes because this is tight! I do not have an issue with the rubbery smell that some people complain of...in fact I do not notice it at all ...hey I might just be blinded by how great I look though! I have spent the last decade purchasing clothes that cover up my stomach and now I crave tops that will show it off. I can't wait to purchase a cocktail dress! And I never thought that would happen! I tried on everything in my closet with this on and found everything way to large in the waist! It feels good! That being said the straps can be kind of uncomfortable by the end of the day but I understand why that have to be the way they are for the garment to work this great. And you have to wear sleeves to cover the straps so no tanks. I already ordered the cincher to get around this and I hope it will be just as great. I find myself not being able to wait to put this on in the morning and I think it actually feels good. It does help with my posture too. Like I said earlier I am used to wearing shape wear so I can see how someone might need time getting used to it if your not used to wearing something tight but it is not as uncomfortable as others I've tried yet delivers better results. As far as long term effects I can't wait to see! I have only been wearing it for 5 days and notice a slight difference in the curvature of my waist already when the garment is off. My skeptical husband also can see a difference so I know it's there! Order this and you will feel good about yourself and want to go shopping for new clothes!

Folds at the back & BONING BROKE! BEWARE!
By Jo on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2013
I was really keen on buying Squeem products after reading so many raving reviews so on impulse, I had bought two items at a go - the Squeem Magical Lingerie Shapewear, Perfect Waist, Firm Compression, Cotton & Rubber, Waist Cincher, Beige, Extra Small and Squeem Magical Lingerie Shapewear, Firm Compression Miracle Vest, Black, Small. I was hoping to experience a good and noticeable change so that I can recommend this to my family - we all have "fat genes". Firstly, I started with the vest which is generally good at tucking in the waist BUT the boning BROKE around the smallest part of my waist in less than a month! Furthermore, after gently washing it a few times and leaving it to dry, avoiding the sun, I start to notice the rubber is already very worn. I thought it could be from my washing but I've never had this issue with the other cinchers. Makes me feel like the one I got is simply made of cheap material. I admit though, it does the job of tucking it in but it's definitely not seamless and with the broken boning, it cuts into any top/dress I put over it so I'm left to wear only my $3 singlets over it to avoid damaging my clothes - I end up wearing SO MANY LAYERS under the ridiculously hot sun. (I'm in sunny Singapore). The back also has very ugly folds that refuse to straighten out no matter how I tug and adjust it, regardless if I'm standing or sitting. I started using the waist cincher after about 2 and a half months of putting up with the broken vest. The waist cincher also gives the same problem with the folds at the back which was even more obvious than the vest and the boning broke for this too! Due to the ugly folds, I only wore this at night during bedtime so I don't see any cause for the boning to be bent and broken! I started trying other brands of cinchers and they never gave me any broken boning issues so I believe the cause is the cheap quality material from these two squeem products. I am really disappointed with my purchase. For the price I had paid, I expected more, considering Squeem is more expensive than most and supposedly more reputed for the effectiveness. I'd have returned the items if it weren't for the fact that I'm now overseas in Singapore and it's too much hassle. Overall, I'd say this is not worth it at all. Purchase at your own risk. Hope no one else has to be as unfortunate as me.
