Shapermint is the best thing in undergarments since I don't know what. I honestly don't have anything else to compare it to. I've tried so many different brands to comfortably fit my body and nothing has even come close to shaper mint. I'm not a plus-size girl. However, I do have some areas that need some help. Rather than paying a small fortune on surgery, I'd rather invest in shape wear that REALLY works for me and it's affordable. If you are like me and very skeptical about online reviews. Don't hesitate on this one. Shapermint is the real deal. You won't be disappointed. The only suggestion I would make is to purchase a size under. I used the size chart provided, since it was my first time. With that experience, instead of my normal medium, I needed a small. Need to find out if I can exchange the ones I haven't used. I purchased 6 pieces and 4 are unused.
