Needs a bigger velcro area
Based on the measurements I ordered the xxl (my waist is about 33&quot;).  It is slightly large, and not as adjustable as I had hoped.  I probably should have gone down a size.<br /><br />I found the material the front half was made out of to be very itchy, but that might just be me.  I wish the outer elastic straps could overlap and still stick to each other, but they need to be attached to the small velcro area.  The velcro is only 8.5&quot; by 3.75&quot;.  It would be better if it was a larger (taller) piece as it seemed to be rolling up and down a bit, especially when bending.<br /><br />While I was able to tighten it fairly well, I didn't think it had a very symmetrical profile.  It's also pretty thick in the front and the velcro doesn't feel super secure if I over tighten it, so I don't think I'd be very comfortable wearing it under clothes.<br /><br />All that said, the boning in the back felt very strong and I did think it gave me good back support.  It's also way lighter and more  breathable than a latex or neoprene style trainer.  It may just be that I have the wrong body shape and type for it.  It would probably work best on a less curvy woman with a shorter torso.<br /><br />I was fortunate to receive this item at a discount, provided I was honest and unbiased in my review.
