Okay. Hold on. I bought this with ZERO expectations. Just a girl and a dream. After having my thyroid removed due to cancer, I quickly started gaining weight. Realizing that my clothes didn’t fit me, i figured it was cheaper to buy this faja, count calories and work out (as tolerated). Obviously this is not a cure all and isn’t for “weight loss” but I’m absolutely in love with the way this feels. The material is very good quality, i sized down for a more compression feel and i don’t think I'm going to ever take it off. My boyfriend couldn’t get enough of the view! All in all, definitely will recommend to all my friends! For reference: I’m 5’7 and 213lbs. Fit & Size: L
