This is very good shapewear. The low price is just a bonus. Shapewear should be snug, to do its job but Not uncomfortable. This does its job. This smooths out bumps and rolls ( be realistic, it's not magical) and it took just enough off my waistline that I was able to snap close a pair of pants I couldn't before. I'm a 2x in all my clothes and it fit me perfectly. It's also very pretty. The crotch has a hook closure (like a bra) it doesn't bother me, but haven't tried to use the bathroom with it on yet, but if it's difficult for you, you can just pull them down. If you have realistic expectations, you will like this!
