Product Reviews of Squeem Magical Lingerie Shapewear, Firm Compression, Cotton & Rubber, Waist CincherProduct Review: Overpriced and uncomfortable Summary: 1 Stars
Ugh. I wore this cincher for about two months before chucking it to the garbage. It seemed to work fine for the first few weeks but eventually it'd get more and more bunched up at my waist and would pinch my skin like crazy (the brand name should be "Scream" rather than "Squeem"; yes, it's that bad). Also, this will only compress your soft tissues so it will eventually give you a "cut in two" look with the aforementioned bunching up. Since these things are important for the sake of comparison, I don't have a lot of fat around my abdomen but my waist is not naturally very shapely.
If you are interested in waist reduction or body shaping, get a corset. Really, they have decent ones for as low as $99 and not only they will be way more comfortable, but also give you a nice tapered hourglass shape. You don't even have to wear it every day. Cinchers like the one on this page have plastic boning which warps and deforms with the heat of your body so your expensive piece of formwear gets reduced to a useless crumpled mess with normal use. Modern corsets on the other hand, have flexible steel boning which stays firm while gently molding to your shape. You can also put them on in about 3 minutes so you don't need a maid like in the olden days to cinch you up.
Having worn a corset pretty much every day for the last three months and being very happy with it, I'm glad I dumped this Squeem cincher for good.
Product Review: Painful Experience Summary: 2 Stars
I think the concept is great but with this particular product, they have these sections that are thicker rubber (or whatever the material is) and it literally pushed into my ribs every time I sit down. I commute a lot and have a desk job so its not a very pleasant experience to have that pushing and bruising your rubs every day. It would've been nice except for those thicker lines of rubber that aren't very flexible.
Product Review: Worked Better Than I Thought!! Summary: 5 Stars
I first purchased this product back in 2008 but never did write a review for it. Not that it was a bad product, it's just that I forgot I purchased it because it worked so well I had gotten down to the third set of hooks within about three weeks(this is without watching my diet of Mc'Donalds, burger King Popeye's Ect. I ate the same fast food junk as usual) I ended up tossing it in my dresser and not ever thinking about it again until I came across it last night. I was a size 14 and barely got into that when I first purchased this. After the three weeks all my size 14 pants around the tummy area falls off of me. I have to steal my boyfriend's belt to keep my pants up. Now a size 12 fits me snug like the 14 use to but 14 wont stay up on my waist anymore. I have to downsize and buy a new one in a L in stead of XL and work my way across the hooks again. I wore this from the time I got up for work which was 5am til I got home at 5pm. If you wear this everyday and you are active at work or throughout your day like me(I work in a hospital so I do more running around and less sitting at my desk) you will see the results after a while.
Since I did stop using this I have downsized my eating portions because I dont want to go back up a size, I go to the gym 3 times a wk to maintain the size I am. Because the material has a lot of rubber on the insides it may cause you to sweat a whole lot(I would come home soaked) so I suggest you run it through the washer every 2-3 days as sweat will irritate your skin and eventually cause you to rash up like nobodys business (seen my friend who bought the same item not wash hers for two wks and she broke out in clusters of rashes that only went away after agrresive treatment of Lamisil cream twice a day! So yea basically not washing your sweaty corset will give you fungus after a while so wash it often!)
Other than that mine got a little worn, it started to fold and bend and roll up once it started to get too big. BUT keep in mind Im very active at work. I lift, bend, strech, run patient charts around the building for delivery to various departments, then at home and I often forgotten I had it on and end up cleaning up the house in it. It was used vigorusly so for the price it is worth it because it didnt start to bunch and roll until it started getting slack. So if you are not as active as I am then yours will last longer. Plus I kept this thing on way beyond the reccomended time of 4 hours so I dont expect it to last very long after extensive use.
I love this product, and as for the shipping it took 5 days to come but I am not complaining because I saw the great reviews and knew that no matter what this was what I wanted. When I first got it I ordered a L and it was too small. I was able to exchange free of charge and got the right size in 3 days so returns are fast and hassle free. This is a great product overall, less risky than ordering that exspensive body magic shaper & then you have to guess what side is right & even if you guessed wrong you cannot change or get a refund. Do you really have $65-$150 to throw away like that? I suggest you get this one cause at least if it is the wrong size amazon will switch it with no questions FOR FREE at that!! I hope I helped everyone make a choice.
