Do you need to look younger, trimmer, slimmer? I had the pleasure of trying out the Lipo in a Box Bodysuit with Legs by Connie Elder, and if you're looking for comfortable supportwear, this is it.

The Fit

When I pulled on Connie Elder's bodysuit, the first thing that I noticed was the stretch. As plus-sized women, we often wear supportwear that works. . . almost too well. Who wants to hardly be able to lean over?

And that's why Connie Elder's Lipo in a Box works. The actual knit of the supportwear is more substantial than others on the market, but the hold has a certain "yield" that makes it much more comfortable.

Worrying about leg band bind? I found these ones to be comfortable enough not to squeeze my legs and make it obvious that I was wearing supportwear.

Underwire or Not?

I recommend the bodysuit without underwire, especially if your bust is in the D-DD range like mine. You can easily layer a very supportive bra under this bodysuit, and you won't need to worry that the underwire in the bodysuit itself won't fit properly.

If you don't want the hassle of layering your favorite bra, go for an underwired bodysuit. This is especially recommended if you have a smaller bust.

The Contour

Do you find that certain areas of concern aren't supported in a regular bodysuit? That's why I loved Connie Elder's Bodysuit with Legs. I thought that instead of having the all-over pressure of a support garment, we get extra support around the middle, a little give on the rump, and comfortable, stretchy cups in the bust.

Points to Note

The Score: I rated the Connie Elder Bodysuit with legs a 4.5. My reason? I just wish that it came in larger sizes like 3, 4, and 5X!
