Charmian Women'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’ll try & be as detailed as I can because it’s not a bad trainer in my opinion. My favorite trainer brand is Yianna but they've been out of stock for almost 2months now (GREAT BUY BTW).CHARMIAN REVIEW: I am 5’2” 175lbs, measurements 38-35-42 ugh not cute but anywho ...Ordered a 2XL (32.7-34.5) according to measurements. First the smell grossed me out but I know how to eliminate it but can’t until I have the right one. (Baking soda & Apple Cider Vinegar soak w/air dry just FYI)... First level of hooks a little work but not difficult, FIRST SIGN I needed to go down a size. Wore it anyway just for trial & error (highly suggested). I’ve had it since Wednesday, today is Monday and it’s looser than it should be. WHEN you can relax your abdominals & see it uhm NOPE & today I’m able to move to the second hook easy...NOPE NOT GOOD. My theory, because it relaxed after just 4-5 days, I’m going down at least 2inches from my measurements not only will give me an extreme fit but will make sense after a few days wear. Honestly 4-5 days will give u it’s true fit if you wear it consistently I have. I wore it to work out & during the day. Average wear for me was 6-8 hours a day for 5 days.Why I gave it 5 stars? The fit all the way to the underarm back fat was excellent vs my Yianna & it's because of the adjustable strap. One thing I HIGHLY SUGGEST you pay attention to when reading these reviews is because they mixed & not specific to the same waist trainer. My review is SPECIFICALLY to the trainer with the adjustable straps.I did however order the other without the adjustable strap also for comparison. It’s quite a bit more sturdy & was too small in the same size. Highly recommend getting exact size or one up with that one.Returning today & should receive the new one tomorrow will try & give my theory results... #PEACE

I ordered this May 25, 2018 and at first I loved it! It went on nice and tight, the material felt like good quality. I ordered a small Im about 160lbs 5'5 and at first I thought it wasnt going to fit me. And having acrylic nails it was a struggle to put on but I did it. I had it on and it felt great it had a nice tightness to it, I was happy. The only thing was that my back fat popped out from near the back of my armpit area making it look a little funny but to me it really wasn't a big issue it just meant I had to work out my back a little more. I was happy and only used it when working out(3-4 times a week if I remember to put it on) . My workouts consists on cardio on the stair master and doing free weights. Well two weeks in and the second hook of the clincher came off, still I thought no biggie the rest still work fine and will still close and hold everything in place. Today (3 weeks after receiving this product) as I was working out my waist trainer ripped! I became so disappointed in this product because it felt like the material was good. I've had other waist trainers before made of latex and yeah the wires came off and poked the hell out off me but never did they ripped like this and lasted for quite some time. Their material was way stronger than this. Sadly very disappointed that this product didnt last very long.

This runs very very small. I had to return for a bigger size. The quality, the price, the look, and feel is there but the sizing is way off. If you wear a XL, you may need an XXL or evan an XXXL.
