I had a lot of trouble finding a good faja to fit both my waist and my hip size. I love that here I can choose each separately. I ended up with model a, 2xl hip. Originally I ordered xl hip as I was between measurements, but return and exchange was quick and easy. Of all the fajas I’ve tried this one really gives me the best shape. Will be ordering stage 3 in the opposite color :) ALSO, I know some people might not like the crotch strap, I love it. No, it’s not the most comfortable, but that little strap separating ur cheeks slightly aids in shaping and also helps to keep the area dry and avoid chafing, especially post surgery.
