I am very happy with the product. The problems that many describe here (and who kept me almost from the purchase) I can not quite understand. I've bought a Sashes La Belly (precisely because I was confused by the comments and I would rather two try different home) and find this a little better, as the substance is still a little bit better hugs and - at least for my character, Gr. 38/40 - has more appropriate form, since the waist at La Belly is narrower. Otherwise, however, is this one great and keeps you warm, keeps its shape and in place. Size falls exactly like this, as I am used to say I usually have 38 to 40 and I have here also. I hope the comment helps to eliminate the uncertainty that I had after reading the comments.
