I’m 34 weeks pregnant and already a pretty large lady. I struggled with shapewear during the pregnancy bc all of it feels like I can’t breathe or presses to hard on the diaphragm. I felt very comfortable and supported in this. I don’t have a normal looking pregnancy belly and I’m pretty self conscious, this helped shape everything so it looked more classical without being so tight I felt unbearably uncomfortable. I wore this on Christmas Day so I definitely ate, was bloated, was helping with cooking and getting up and down a lot. It actually helped with pain by keeping me supported all day.

The only caveat: if you have large thighs (I mean large thighs. Lipodema type, gotta buy your thigh highs from thunda thighs, thighs) the shapewear is tight around my thighs. Almost all shapewear is but I would say this was smaller even than most. I would say it runs a bit smaller which makes sense for shapewear but I would love if they had an option for larger thighs. It will roll up a bit around mine which is always annoying.
