I was so excited when I finally received this. All I wanted was some smoothing-did't expect to shrink 2 sizes. Well, it did smooth some, but the result wasn't as good as I get from a better brand control top panty hose. If you're looking for back and tummy smoothing, it's okay. However, if you're looking for help from the waist down, especially for the thighs, don't waste your money.
