I was really looking forward to receiving this but it was a disappointment. I had previously received a size small (the recommended size per the size guide provided online) in another style by Spanx and it was much too small so this time I went with one size up, a medium. It was slightly better fitting but oh so very uncomfortable. The legs and hips area fit alright but the band around the chest was so tight and really dug into my skin. I just wanted to take it right back off immediately. The pads are removable in the top and the straps are adjustable but this is not meant to be a replacement for a bra unless you are small chested. I am a 36C and the top provided almost no support and there definitely wasn't room to wear a bra underneath. The bottom does have an opening for easy bathroom access. Overall, I didn't really feel that it did much for shaping and slimming either. This particular style is a hard pass for me.
