Not supportive, very dissapointed.
I found that this is okay for smoothing lines in clothing just like panty hose but I did not feel "supported" in my tummy which was the main goal of this purchase. It almost feels as though it pulls down on my tummy making things even more uncomfortable than before I put it on.

works well but belly panel runs
This is the perfect garment to wear under dresses or smooth pants. My only complaint is that the belly panel is a little too sheer and runs/snags too easily.

Comfy & supportive
In my second trimester, I developed an inguinal hernia from the presure of my growing baby. I kept trying lots of belts & such but they were all uncomfortable. Out of desperation, I tried spanx & it has helped so much! Not only is there inguinal support (probably helps with round ligament pain - I would think), but back support & the waist part of the hose is really comfortable - doesn't feel too tight. The only drawback is that they are a little warm to wear in the summer.
