Upon receiving the package, and removing the product, I was initially surprised by its small size. Putting it on was a little difficult initially, but after I did, I immediately noticed and felt a positive change. It's incredibly light, to the point where it feels like I'm not wearing any shapewear at all. I used to purchase similar items from Walmart, and those always caused discomfort by digging into my sides or rolling down. This one doesn't do that, and it fits well, staying in place even on my back. I highly recommend you try it.
