These worked nicely. I ordered one a while back which was much smaller than expected. Thought I would try this again to see if if a larger size would matter because they look like they would be really nice. This one came fast as well. Comes packaged well. This time I ordered an XXL. It is odd because the outside label package had XXL on it. but when I looked inside the actual garment is say XL. So, i am thinking now there was some mfg at first that might have been just labeled wrong. The outside pack and the inside garment were not the same size markings. Maybe that is why there were differences. Anyway I ordered this one in the larger of my correct sizes. The garment came in the size I first ordered. lol The true size of the garment was XL and it did fit well to true size. whatever the issue once was, THIS ONE was right. These were not hard to fit, even though tight. My tester is 140 lbs. right at 5'6. Usually orders large to XL because of some extra fat around the belly. The xl was a great fit. Tight yet not cutting off circulation. Was not hard to get on. Not loose around the belly. supportive and helped shape d the tummy and rear. Did not roll up around the belly which is important. It did buckle tight a little around the thighs at the top of the leg when sitting awhile or if spreading legs sitting down with jeans on. They do have an inseam that would not work with a thin silky fitting dress or light-tight leggings that shows every bump maybe. Otherwise would be fine. They will work with med to knee-length shorts but not with super-short shorts. Like the fact that could wear with most normal mid size standard shorts. Thats a plus as well. And that they are breathable. Especially since it is summertime right now. So, with the right fit, they are very nice. I would suggest ordering the larger of your real sizes if in between sizes. If you have a flat tummy and true size, then you should be fine ordering that size. That is what worked here, now having ordered 2 of them to compare. This one is true to size. Does shape while firming to the belly. good deal.
