smoothing, but not a 5 star due to a slight roll out at bottom. Exact same one David's Bridal tries to sell you for more $. You may want to go up a size.

Although these are billed as a smoothing panel, they don't really add any compression or hold.  In fact, the thick elastic along the waistband makes them bulge out a little along the top.  That being said, they are soft and help create smooth lines when wearing form-fitting dresses or clothes.

It is not quite as slick as in the picture, but it does the job.

I ordered three panels, and there are slight irregularities in the ruffle lengths. Also it seems that they may have been from different dye lots as the color was a little different. But once in place it was not really noticeable. These washed easily and softened up.  I like them.

I tried this Vassarette COMFORTABLY Smooth slip short vs. the Vassarette INVISIBLY Smooth slip short since I was hard pressed to tell the difference between the two:
Pros:
- Good sizing. I'm 5'3", wear a 14 Old Navy Curvy jean and I got the 2XL. This was roomy enough in the butt and thighs and came up high enough to my waist to make me feel like it wasn't going to slide down if I bent over or sat. [the Invisible Smooth was lacking in the butt area and it slid down a bit. Not roomy enough, I felt.]
- Flatlock seams. Nice! Sturdy. [Invisible Smooth has raised seams. It also felt like the seams could pop in the crotch. Also weird crotch panel lightly tacked in.]
- The waistband is comfortable [the Invisible Smooth waistband is lacy, but scratchy.]

Cons:
- The material felt rough and heavy to me. Not something to wear on a hot day, and definitely not on a humid day. [Invisible Smooth seemed lighter and the material was slick so light dresses would slip over it]
- There are leg bands. These will definitely show through a light fabric or super clingy fabric. [No leg bands on the Invisible Smooth. They look just chopped off, but are tacked so the seams won't open. The look is smooth.]
-The legs seemed a bit long, just above the knee. Not so good if you're wearing shorter things [Invisible Smooth legs were shorter]

Verdict: I'm definitely returning the Comfortably Smooth slip short. Although the flatlock seams were really nice and the product felt sturdy overall, and I felt this short fit my butt and hips better, and came up higher on my waist, the heavier, non-slippy material and leg bands were a definite no-go.

These fit well, and do what you'd like them to do, smooth out the lumps, and bumps. No, they aren't miracle workers.

I'd like to give it 3.5 stars.  It's not perfectly smooth, but works well enough.  Not great for high precision work, but perfect for things that are OK with a slight vibration

I like this conditioner. It made my hair soft and made my beard softer, which my wife appreciated. I liked the smell. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that, to me, it doesn't really stand out from any other conditioners I've used. It's good but not phenomenal.

For something as simple as numbers, one would expect smooth die-cut edges. Instead, the edges are far from perfect... and if you're slightly OCD like me, it will bug you. I kept it though because from about 4-5 feet away you will no longer notice this imperfection. (We use it for labelling a room number.) But every time I walk by it, it see it.

The size is nice, color is a nice warm white, and it seems to peel and stick nicely. If it weren't for the edges, this would have been a perfect item.

Nice, smooth surface, but not very cushion-y. Kind of hard to pick up cards cleanly where they are; often need to slide them to the edge. Still, very professional-looking and cards can be moved around very easily on it. I'm gonna try an Ultra Pro mat to compare it to this.

It's okay, but a little difficult to line up and then smooth out all the Bubbles.

Edges were a little rough, as some other reviews have stated.  I used some medium sandpaper to smooth out and some finer grade paper to smooth out.  Took about 15 minutes. I really like the organizer.

This is without a doubt one super-smooth camera head for a DSLR. There is just the right amount of friction when panning as long as you don't need to do any quick turns. (I recommend weighing down your tripod for stability.) Tilting is also smooth, though with much less friction than left-right panning, which is great for fast rising or falling shots. So why only three stars? My main quibble is that I'm using this with a Panasonic GH2, which is a fairly lightweight micro-four-thirds format DSLR camera, and the Manfrotto has a little too much spring-tension, which causes the head to overcompensate at the end of the pan or tilt and pull back slightly in the opposite direction. If you have an eye for detail, it's clearly noticeable on video and will drive you nuts trying to get your shots to look professional. Unfortunately, the spring tension is not adjustable. Bummer too, because I haven't found any other manufacturers that make a small fluid head for DSLR's (friction heads, yes) -- guess I'll just have to deal with it, unless someone out there knows a way to fix it...

The bra is lovely.  I  found that it does not have smooth lines, therefore it worked better worn under loose fitting tops.

Would have liked it better if top was textured not smooth

Like another reviewer said, this product is a little drying. Per my hair stylist's suggestion, if you use the smoother with L'anza's Neem Silk (which smells delicious) the dryness won't be significant. Healing Smooth smells a little like pears and does minimal control for my frizz. However, neither L'anza product leaves greasy residue which I often find wither "smoothing" products. Also, they seem to have taken parabens out of their ingredients.
