The product is terrible. I too bought a size larger than I normally wear because of the sizing chart that they had online was a little vague. It has two lines with different bra and cup sizes.

You're supposed to pull the top up like a bathing suit. But even though I bought the larger size, I couldn't even get it past my knees. Made me feel larger than I am. Not worth the money and a ripoff for the return. While I know that you never receive the shipping for returns. It cost less than buying it.

I, too, fell for the TV ad for the Kymaro body shaper. I ordered it for my correct size, couldn't get it on, no matter how hard I tried. I called and exchanged it for a larger size, STILL couldn't get it up passed my knees. What a waste of money, not to mention the shipping rip-off!

I was about to order something I don`t really have the money for. Everyone likes to look nice when they get dressed up to go somewhere special. Wonder if those women sleep good at night?

This is what I sent to them direct under their "complaint" on their website. 

 

I called your toll free # on 9/14 after viewing your info commercial for the New Body Shaper. I received one package on 9/19/09 5 days after I placed my order. At the time I placed my order, I was told it would take 3-4 weeks for regular delivery and I could "expedite that to 3-5" days for additional $6.95. I declined. I see you are located in Irvine, CA - approx. 40 miles from where I live. What I am complaining about is when I said I would accept the all black body shaper and said I wasn't interested in the two bottom shapers, I was told I had to take the two bottom shapers as well. Supposedly all 3 were free except for S&H. I was surprised that it would cost $9.95 S&H for each item. I said that was ridiculous and your phone person said they would take $10 off which still left 2 S&H charges of $9.95 plus the $39.95 for the nude new body shaper. I suspect out of that $39.95 - $9.95 is the shipping charge for the first item.  

 

I am reviewing your packing slip and see the following: 

$39.95 for the nude body shaper and 3 charges of $9.95 S&H for the BN3, TB2 and BB3 items then a minus $10.00 which totalled $58.80 then another $9.95 S&H charge plus the $6.11 tax bringing the total to $75.96. 

 

I charged this to a credit card. I am calling your promotion a ripoff which the 4 items came together in one little box weighing 1.3 lbs. There's no weight these 4 items cost nearly $40 to ship and whatever handling was involved was all in one package.  

 

I am going to write to the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs to Irvine, CA and bring this to their attention. I opened the buff color body shaper and your item is way overpriced. Whether it's effective or not, I'll see as I try it on today. Sending everything back to you I have to pay for insurance and the shipping, handling and processing fees are not refundable. Great way to clean consumers' pockets under the guise of "free gifts" when ordering one body shaper. I expect a credit refund to my credit card of a minimum of $19.90 and really think it should be $29.85. 

 

Also whenever one orders something and is asked for their email, they always receive a confirmation of their order. I gave you my email address and never received any confirmaton of my order. Another irregularity. 

 

I will wait for a week to receive a favorable response and am preparing my complaint to both the Irvine Better Business Bureau and Consumer Protection.

I was going to order to and decided not to. Cindy if you are working for the company to save grace, shame on you; this is bad business. :(

On vacation in Texas was watching T.V. Glad that I seen this site before I ordered this product. These that have gotten burnt by this company, I really feel for you. But a special thanks for posting just how this company will do you. I will not be ordering from them.

It's great! I can't believe noone enjoyed the body shaper. I love it and I DO NOT work for the company. I am just an honest customer. I actually came across this site after doing a google search to buy another shaper but in black! I am a bigger girl-size 20 and I was a skeptic until I received it and it really works well.

I'm so glad I decided to research this product. Although I've learned my lesson since the Wonder Hangers that cost me over $50 and only worked for about a month before the hooks started straightening out and the clothes started falling everywhere....Anyways, Thank you so much for posting all the feedback on this product. I was really thinking about squeezing myself into something to look better but I think I'd rather look the way I do than to deal with a company like this.  

 

Thank you so much!

i saw the commerical while working out at the gym and decided to look up the product on the internet. i clicked on this article first because i have purchased a lot of advertised products that did not work. I decided not to buy and it based on the real public reviews on this article.
