Black Latex Waist Trainer with White Logo has 7 Steel Bones to flatten tummy. There are 2 thick Velcro bands to go around your waist line to help contour a hour glass figure. Waist trainers do fit snug. They do not have the hard wires that poke you in the back. Please be sure to follow the size chart for best fit. 

If you are having issues getting the waist trainer on, snap the top steel bone first then snap the bottom three steel bones. after the bottom three steel bones are snapped, undo the very top one and proceed to snap the rest starting from the bottom up.
