GainKee Sweat Vest

I love waist trainers and it so difficult to get waist trainers to fit and hold everything together and keep my back straight and support

I wear a size extra large shirt and I measured my waist and it guided me to a size 4x. It fits and is comfortable yet tight on first buckle. If I were to order an extra large I’m sure it would not have fit at all!

I really tried to give this product a fair shot. First of all it's really flimsy. It gives you no support. Secondly, the torso is really short. To give you an idea, I'm only 5' 1" and my torso is short even for my height. I can't see the hood of my car even with a booster. If I drive in a new car, I have to train myself how far away the front of a car is by getting out several times when parking to see my distance. This product doesn't cover your whole stomach at all. I had to choose where I wanted my gap. Either the top of my stomach or the bottom would remain exposed. I have a big a stomach, I weigh almost 300lbs, but I went by their measurement chart. This ties in my 3rd complaint. If you have a ridiculously small torso and you still want to get this item, because it's so flimsy and stretchy, I'd get a size smaller than the chart measurements indicate. So I ordered a 6x and sent it back thinking it would be better if I went down a size since it didn't offer any support and I hooked it as tight as it could be. But even though going down a size made it hug me more, it still wasn't much and the whole my belly would stick out somewhere issue was still a problem. I would've thought perhaps I'm too big for these, but I recently purchased a different brand and it's amazing. It's stiff but not too stiff, the sizing chart was accurate, it lifted my huge boobs (which are a 44HH in European or 44L in US) and it sucked me in so tight that I can actually see my coochie in the mirror for the first time in years! My only issue with it was that it goes so high up on my back that I can't use it for everyday wear because it sticks out of the top. So, I only use it at the gym. That's why I was trying this product, because the scoop in the back was lower and I'd be able to wear it with normal clothes. Unfortunately, it just doesn't do anything. So, I'm returning it to look at a different brand. I'm really disappointed because the pictures looked so good, but that's not what you actually get.

Size run very small. The very 1st one I order fit perfect. I ordered a second one same size. It was much smaller than my first one. I returned this one. Reordered several times and returned. All ran smaller. It seems I got lucky with my first purchase.

Held to its highest standard

I’ve purchased this item twice and I’ll give you my honest, unpaid review. I’m completely new to waist training. After reading reviews, I purchased a 5x. I’m 5’4, 325 lbs with a small waist so I thought the 5x would be where I’d start. It was entirely too big, so based on the fit, I’d take a shot in the dark and I ordered a 2x. This size was too big too, at least for me to wear alone. I put on two McDavid waist trimmers, to cover me from bust to lower stomach, THEN, I put on the 2x corset and it was perfect for my desired level of compression, which was perfect for me. So all in all, I’ll most likely have to order a 1x or even a large if I wear just wearing the corset ALONE. The sizing chart really doesn’t matter, so ladies, be mindful when ordering. I wear a 24/26 in bottoms and 1x top, our bodies are not cookie cutter. You may be 200 lbs and need a 4-5x in the corset because of a larger midsection or in my case 325 and needing large to 1x, it will depend on your body type. And also remember, the goal is compression so you don’t want to order it in the size where it just sits on your skin. Even being new to waist training, on a scale of light to strong compression, I’d say on a scale of 1-10 this is about a 6, so good enough to work out in or light errands or just enough to wear around the house or go to work in for an 8 hr shift. It’s enough compression to remind you that it’s on, a reminder to keep your muscles tightened, a great beginner corset. But to those more advanced in the waist training journey, you may need a more durable corset with a less stretchy material and more spines….more heavy duty. This waist trainer is very comfortable to be and not too abrasive. I don’t wear it directly on the skin, I wear a shirt under because you will sweat if it’s directly on skin, it will have a warming effect. All in all, I’m pleased and it meets my needs. And also, my first 2x one I ordered was stolen from the package and the seller sent me another and I got it in 2 days so CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCELLENT….I plan on buying the next two sizes down until I’m ready to transition to something more advanced. Also, it’s undetectable under everything except something skin tight such as a mini dress or lightweight bodysuits, in that case, you may want a faja or thong body shaper, the kind you step into and pull up that gives you full coverage.

DO NOT SEND IT BACK !!! Yal when I first tried putting it on the normal way there was nooo way it was closing but my daughter actually motivated me she said snap it and slip it over your head so that’s what I did I snap a few clasps and fought for my life I put it on like a shirt I fought I sweat I laid down SUCK IT IN.. I final got into it. It’s supposed to SNATCH YOU UP so don’t give up after I got it on and down it was perfect ! It’ll take time to break it but it’s not very un comfortable at all. I am 200 lbs 5 3’ and this thing has me looking like a skinny queen snatched to the gods ! I got a size large ! UPDATE I have been humbled ! I got to the third hook but a bone ended up poking out so I returned and got a new one the same exact one ! And I was struggling again to get it on the first hook! The material is stretched out over time do not order a smaller size and be humbled like I was. It’s the fabric stretching not your belly stretching 😩

I’ve always been small but after I had a baby I needed help holding everything in. I had a slipped rib due to ligaments being stretchy when you’re pregnant and I needed something to hold my rib from slipping out and keep my tummy held in. I’m 5’ 3”, 130 lbs, 27” in jeans. the x small on the size chart says like 24-26” so I felt like it should be tight enough to fit me being a 27”. I wanted to order a smaller size so I can wear it on the biggest setting and as it stretches out I can go smaller. But I was able to put the x small on, on the smallest setting with very minimal effort if really any at all, It was too easy and doesn’t feel snug enough. I really do like the feel of this that it has straps and gives me support with my posture, but it’s just not tight enough around my stomach. I will have to return it. I would say the x-small can fit at smallest a 27” and should be more suitable for someone who is 29 or even 30” not the 24-26 they have listed. For that I’m giving it 2 stars but I would definitely give it 5 stars if they had a XX-small and an appropriate sizing chart
