LUMIVE™ Underbelly Premium Shape-Underwear

✓ Verified purchase · Size 2XL

After two C-sections I had this shelf above my scar that showed through everything — every top, every dress, even my loosest jeans. I’d tried three different belly bands and two waist trainers, and they all did the same thing: rolled down within an hour and ended up sitting under my belly like a belt that gave up. This brief is the first thing that actually stays where it’s supposed to. The high waist goes above the shelf, not across it, and the cross-band holds everything smooth without that squeezed-sausage feeling. I wore it under a fitted dress to my sister’s wedding last month and didn’t think about it once the entire day. No adjusting, no sneaking off to the bathroom to pull it back up. I’m ordering a second one in black.

I’ll be honest — I almost didn’t order this because I’ve wasted so much money on shapewear that promised the world and delivered nothing. I’m a size 22 and most shaping underwear either doesn’t go high enough or rolls down the second I sit. I measured my waist like the size chart said (not my dress size, which was the first good sign) and the 3XL fits perfectly. It’s firm but I can breathe. No hooks, no boning, no scratching — I forget I’m wearing it. The real test was a 10-hour shift on my feet: at 7pm it was sitting exactly where it was at 9am. My husband noticed the difference under my scrubs before I even told him I was wearing it. Already ordered a second color.

✓ Verified purchase · Size XL

Three years after my son was born I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight but still had this pooch that wouldn’t go away no matter what I did. I’d done the core rehab program, I’d done the 30-day challenges, I’d spent probably $200 on different products. My physio explained it’s not fat — it’s the abdominal wall that stretched and the scar tissue pulling everything forward. She said support can help while wearing it, but nothing short of surgery actually removes it. That honesty is exactly what I found on the Lumive page too — they don’t promise it’ll fix anything permanently, just that it holds and smooths while you wear it. And it does. I wore a tucked-in top for the first time in three years last week. The fabric is incredibly soft over my scar — no irritation at all. I wear it every day now and rotate two pairs.

✓ Verified purchase · Size 4XL

I’m a size 26 and I’ve learned the hard way that most shapewear companies think plus-size means ‘we added an XL.’ The waist never goes high enough, the leg openings dig in, and it feels like being wrapped in cling film. I almost didn’t bother with this one. But they size by waist measurement instead of dress size, and they go up to 5XL — that alone told me someone actually thought about larger bodies. I measured, ordered the 4XL, and it fits like it was made for me. The cross-band wraps all the way around my middle instead of just pressing the front flat and pushing everything to the sides. Under jeans you genuinely can’t see it. I wore it to a full day at work — desk, lunch, walking between buildings — and nothing rolled, nothing shifted. I ordered two more that same evening.
