“Looking at a lot of reviews, I decided to go with a small size initially. Most people in my body type (5’ 3” and 120lbs) really liked the small, but I found the small was not something I felt comfortable wearing for more than 2-3 hours. Way too restricting! I know these are Spanx and they are known for compression, but I found the medium was more comfortable for my athletic body type. I’m disappointed that the medium doesn’t hug my waist the way the small did and I do have gaps there. Overall for the purchase price and the sizing, I feel like I could have found something in comparable quality at a lower price point.”
