Customer review: "Purchased for my mum who has no bum but round belly. She was convinced she wouldn’t fit in it but it worked well and did what was wanted. We have returned it only because she didn’t like the straps along with having bra straps so went with shaping pants instead as doesn’t need as much smoothing on the upper back area. But this is just personal preference."
