 size matters December 28, 2008
I bought this with the worry that if i get the smaller size it will not fit, So I went with the next size up and when I tried it on it really did nothing for me.I suggest making sure you buy the proper size so you dont feel like you have wasted your money.
 Not for short girls December 23, 2008
I am 5'2', 135 pounds. The sales girl said that I should go with size B because I am 10 pounds over the limit for size A. I've read other reviews and the truth seems to be that if you are on the short side of the spectrum these things are just too long for your torso. The top part of these go up over my bust as opposed to hitting right below my bra line. I tried rolling the top over right under my bra line to eliminate the excess but that didn't work at all and just gave me a pudge of backfat. The front seam also puckered because the length was just too long for my torso.
Also, they don't really make you skinnier, they just smooth you out. Yes, your line is better, but you aren't all that much thinner. I've heard of celebrities wearing more than one pair at a time to suck them in but I doubt it works, the B size was plenty tight and it didn't take even an inch off of my waste.
They need to make a petite version of these, until then, if you are under 5'4" strongly consider getting a different style or something else.
Wish I could return them.

I am a typical pear shaped, somewhat pudgy, middle-age woman (size 12 on bottom, 6 on top!) I have tried other products like the high-waisted Spanx power panty and was not satisfied so I was skeptical about this one. I am very happy with it. Yes, it was interesting, and somewhat challenging to put on the first time, but it stayed up all day, and I actually was quite comfortable wearing for a full workday. With the others I tried, I was constantly feeling like I had to pull up the back and they made my thighs look like sausage links. I wore this one under pants and the thighs were very smooth. I didn't feel squeezed in the middle and again, I was comfortable for a full 10 hrs. of wear. I would recommend this undergarment.

I've been wearing spanx for more than 4 years and I can tell you some of my pros and cons.
PROS
It does keep everything together and gives you this smooth shape appearance.
It is perfect under dresses and thick material pants.
If you handwash it one will last you a long time. I wear mines everyday.
CONS
You cannot wear them under dresses that are too short or about the same length because once you sit down it will show.
It is not seamless under every fabric, it will still show under tight fit pants. I have to keep pulling mine down when I go to the bathroom because that seam just shows.
Don't buy a size smaller it will be a disaster.
It flattens everything the first few times you wear it but after that you better exercise to keep things flat. You might end up buying a lot of those and they are never on sale.
The part between your leg does irritate because it is open and if you wear it with pants you have fabric rubbing against your private part which can be very uncomfortable. The idea is that you use the bathroom without pulling down the whole thing which can be quite a workout.
This product is better under a dress that is longer. One last thing you cannot do it with serious cleavage.
