Great idea that makes my mama 2x pooch look a little flatter (and I'm not sucking it in for either photo)! I'm 5'9" and 176lbs. Left is before, right is after, so there's definitely an improvement! It's comfy, though could use some adjustments for longer torsos. It stops well below my belly button and it would be nice if the ribbing, or at least the tighter elastic, could go down a little lower and smooth out even more. Definitely recommend though if you want to smooth out your lower abdomen area. Much comfier than a tank or corset option when it's casual or just work.
