Was this very hard to get on? Would you recommend spending more for the zipper closure?

A zipper would be nice, but because the belly bands fit nice and tight I would wonder if a zipper would break over and over.

I would leave the button snapped and pull it on which made it very easy, and the same with taking it off

If you follow the directions then it slips on easier..the zipper closure is a bit easier to get into but I wouldn't say its that much of a difference..I do like the zipper closer because you can adjust the fit of the girdle (looser/tighter) therefore you would get more use out of it and are able to use it longer compared to the regular girdle..I have both and enjoyed using both but if you only want to get one and are able to spend a little more, get the zipper closure, but if you're on a budget the regular slip on is just as good in my opinion..hope this helps..

It was not hard to get on at all- I would advise to go bigger if you are between sizes or it tends to fall down throughout the day if it's a little on the tight side

I think it goes on quite easy. Once in a while I have trouble with getting the back all the way up, but just takes practice. I wouldn't do the zipper myself. Where the zipper is is a weak point. It will wear out sooner. Plus have you ever been putting something tight on with a zipper, and zipped up skin. Ouch. I really like the non zipper one and found it easier to put on than I expected.

It's hard to get on but really I don't recommend this, the wiring is terrible pokes you. I would buy one without this wiring. It's very uncomfortable to wear all day.

Honestly tho I used this product and later found walmart sell "sweet nothing" leggings and they are $12 and compress everything even better than this band did and u can wear them under your jeans and no one can tell.

I didn't have any issues getting it on. The fit was great for me. However, I do wonder if I should have spent more for the corset as it's not as snug since I've slimmed down a bit. I still wear it, but it now bunches just a touch on the sides... not a huge issue though

I have had both. The zipper was a pain. It had to be "started" each time and it can be tedious trying to get the zipper going. But it was really easy to fold. Just one button and done. This one that doesn't zip is nice because it is easier to quickly secure it but the folding situation is just ridiculous. The folding design seems like it was made for long-term storage or transporting once in a while But for any regular use the folding design is not well engineered at all.

I just had the same problem! I had to slide a twist tie through the zipper to get it off but when I opened it the foam basically crumbled. Not sure why it's so pricey either...we bought the same one at Target for $20...

Not all the windows zip close. Some just have an elastic strap that goes over a clip. Frankly, I prefer that than a zipper. Less noise when opening up.

I was wondering that too before. Put both zippers together and just zip down with them at the same time. It might take a few tries, but I got it without trying once and thought I broke it.

I noticed the zipper was catching too. My husband has been the one using it so I'm not sure if its gotten any better.

I am very average in size and I found it difficult to manipulate the device and get it wrapped on my legs. It fit fine but it was not easy to get it on. I think it would not fit a larger person and would be extremely difficult to put on without assistance.

I had to give it a good, hard tug and a lot of sweat to get it on. I had to remove it for washing the car and for when it rains. Each time after that, it got a little easier. It does seem to stretch just enough as you remove it and put it back on several times. I only wish that someone had told me you have to remove it every time it rains, I might have reconsidered buying it then.

My zipper works just fine, so I think it's every individual quality differences. The fabric for me, I think it's all rit. But overall, if I had other options, this won't be my first choice.

yes its hard to get on... the whack with the rubber mallet is just the thing and then perfecto!

Yes, it zips around the whole thing, seems like it would be hard to get on, but it's not because its so slippery. It makes a lot of noise when you move around on it. I took mine off, couldn't stand it anymore.

Mine was not difficult to get on at all. I would call the company or get an exchange from Amazon.com

It is not difficult to get on, as long as you purchase the correct size. I initially tried a large and then had to get a medium because the large was too loose. The medium was snug, but not difficult to get on and off.

Yes. On my end, I didn't have to encounter so much bumps on the road. However, watch out the zipper quality.

You can get it on but it fits really tight. I wasn't too happy with it given the price.

no, and its very hard to get on. for me it was not worth the effort. I threw it away

We had a bag that was a tad more difficult than the rest. We just kept working at it....get the zipper under the lock as close as possible and keep pushing down. Eventually it gives....ours did and it works fine. Work the key back and forth locking and unlocking. Hope this helps you. Michelle
