CharmianWomen's Latex Underbust Waist Training Steel Boned Shapewear Corset

I love this! I ordered the tank top one with adjustable straps. It looks like great quality. No funny smell, in fact it smells kind of pleasant. It has a grippy texture on the outside that I LOVE! I've been having issues with my leggings falling down and my tighter shirts riding up. Not anymore! Some people have mistakingly thought the boning was plastic because it is flexible. As a lingerie seamstress, I can tell you it is spiral steel boning which is the best (and highest quality) boning available. It is not plastic. It does not warp or crease like plastic boning does (I can't buy cheep corsets for that reason. They always end up creasing where my waist flares to my hips and dig into me). Spiral steel bones are flexible and bend to move with you but do not pinch or crease and they return to their original shape when you take it off.Sizing:Don't go based off others height and weight measurements... We all carry our weight very differently... I am 5'3" and weigh 185 right now with a post baby tummy. I'm built a little thicker but I don't look very fat like my weight would suggest. I wear large size shirts and my pant size is 8-10. My measurements are: Full bust-44" Under bust-33" Waist-36" Hips-43" Bra size-32-34J depending on the brand (that's 7-8 D's to those unaware of huge boob sizes). As my poochy baby tummy is 36", that puts me at XXXXL. That sounded too big so I ordered a XXXL. I could have easily gone with a XXL if I wanted to waist train. The XXXL I have though is snug enough to smooth my midsection beautifully while being comfortable enough to wear all day every day. It's comfortable shapeware that doesn't roll or ride up or down.My only complaint is the straps don't fit smoothly against the side of my breasts, which doesn't surprise me because my boobs are huge and my rib cage and underbust is quite small. If I were wider or had a bigger rib cage (as my larger size would normally imply) the straps would lie flat. As they are, they make a little triangle that pokes out and shows under my clothes. I just folded them into a dart that lies flat against my breasts and tacked it down on my sewing machine.

I'm doing this review after returning it and reordering A LOT because after reading a lot of reviews and Q&A's I noticed most people said to size down. DO NOT and I mean, DO NOT SIZE DOWN (unless you're wearing it out to go out and you're expecting a specific figure temporarily). BUT... if you're expecting to use it on a daily basis and/or workout either size up 1 or 2 sizes.For example, my mother wears 2XL and she got a 4XL. It's great for exercising and keeping your back straight.At first we ordered a size Large but it was SUPER TIGHT and we couldn't even close it. My mom couldn't even breathe trying to put it on. So we tried an XL and even then it couldn't close, and finally decided to order a 4XL (2 sizes bigger than her regular clothes size). This one was the right size and now she LOVES it! This waist trainer holds everything in, straightens her back, and it's breathable! She can finally move around with one and even do her daily workouts with it on.Moral of the story, size up (1 or 2 sizes from your regular size)!

The size was ok but it was a little bit bigger than I expected when going by the size chart, I went and bought a small I'm 5'2 120lbs and I had to use the 3rd hook right away to get a good snug and tight fit to make a difference but overall the material was ok, after the 2 day the metal wires that go down the corset started to hurt and kept my ribs sore cuz it pokes the ribs..kinda felt like a cheap bra where the metal wire starts to poke out on ur rib after a few uses/washes...so I actually cut open a little slit where the metal cords/wires were and pulled it out..now it's WAY more comfortable and tolerable made 100% difference and I can wear it all day without that poking discomfort I kept getting. I have only used it for 3 days and due to it not being as tight as I originally wanted or expected I ordered a smaller size ...for the price it sales for it's ok...you get what u pay for..but I have noticed a difference when I wake up..my love handles have shrunk a bit ..wear it 8-10hrs a day then let ur body rest from it

It's a little larger than I anticipated. I got this to actually help me with my back posture as I sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair while working in front of my computer and have the tendency to slump forward while sitting on it. I will say, so far, this has helped me keep my back upright more. I think it's because I can feel it against my body it is a subconscious reminder to keep my back straight.As far a sizing goes, I think the sizing is a little off. I wear a small in most shirt brands yet the chart was saying if you have a waistline that is 28-30 inches you should get a large? I measured myself around 28.5 inches and went for the medium due to the large not being in stock (in black). I guess because I really don't eat much during one sitting and my waistline probably stays rather consistent due to working out my abs on a weekly bases that the medium is kind of large. I was frightened when I first ordered the medium because of the reviews on here more-or-less complaining about their supposed size squeezing them to death. I figured I'd be gasping for air while wearing this and would have some quizzical glances as my face turned white in front of my computer screen (okay, now I exaggerate a little). This is my first time wearing a corset and I'm finding the medium to be quiet comfortable and snug (like an undershirt). I will say I am small (bust wise) so it isn't tight around my chest. I think in a month or so I might end up ordering another corset but in a size small.Overall, I do recommend this product for people who have a tendency to slouch while they are sitting. I question the sizing on it though and would consider ordering the size you wear shirt wise vs what the chart says. :) Up to you though! Good luck!

Excellent quality and I love the material but unfortunately it too small. I will return it and order a bigger size.Thanks for your understanding.

I have just had a baby and was looking for something to wear and this is perfect! I only gave birth 6 days ago so my waist hasn't shrunk back yet and is about 36 inches, so I ordered the XL (UK 12-14) as I read to order smaller. I am currently sitting on the biggest hooks so this will work out great as I can reduce slowly to the tightest hooks as I lose more baby tummy.It doesn't look too unsexy either which is a plus! and it isn't too uncomfortable. Highly recommend this.

Calidad muy buena.Ideal para llevar mientras trabajas, en el gimnasio, o mientras haces tus tareas diarias.Lo único, de talla un poco justo.Si estás dudando entre una talla u otra yo cogería la mayor.

Passt. Leider total unbequem beim sitzen und es zeichnet sich jede Naht ab. Für einen besonderen Anlass okay aber für den Alltag nicht tauglich.
