As a young mom of 2 kids, I have had difficulties in wearing beautiful clothes since I haven't lost the extra fat on my belly. So I wanted to look for a durable, comfortable, but also high quality girdle waist cincher that would squeeze my extra belly fat in and finally allow me to wear all my great clothes. I finally found this simple, clean, and flawless girdle, which is this Nolama women's powernet girdle waist cincher shapewear. Let me tell you about its features and why it's so great for young moms like me: Comfort. The outer layer of this girdle features a firm control material called powernet - which is very flexible and strong that it really squeezes in my belly fat without making me feel constricted. The inner lining is made of 97% soft cotton, which is ultra comfortable against my skin. It also provides adequate breathability whenever I'm out and about. However, I don't use it at home when I'm taking care of my kids. My younger son is only a year-old and it's not very comfortable to wear when you need to bend down frequently to pick up toys or your child. Structure and Security. The girdle's closure features are the hook and eye and the outer zipper. The hook and eye locks are located on the front - which is really great because I don't have to ask my husband to close it for me. I can easily put it on and lock the hooks in place, then place the flap with the zipper on top and zip myself. The cincher also features flexible boning, which really holds it in place on my waist area. Because of the boning, the garment doesn't roll up or down my belly, it simply stays in place. I really like the fact that it has a zipper closure above the hook and eye because wearing clothes over it looks like I'm not wearing it at all. In fact, I even wore a sheer nude top once and nobody noticed I was even wearing the girdle. Place the center of the girdle on your mid-back, close it on the middle of your waist, close the hooks one by one, and when you feel they're comfortably placed, zip up the zipper and that's it. I love how this girdle feels so comfortable and smooth under clothing but still really functions well. Although you can't really wear it at all times, especially when you need to bend down a lot, it's perfect for giving you that beautiful natural hourglass silhouette. I even told my best friend to buy one for herself so we can wear our old mini dresses again.
