The review is long but my hope is that it will help someone else.I have two Ardyss Body Magic size 32 which I got from Ardyss directly 4 years ago love them they are well made but they are getting looser after years of use, then I found this seller with a price I couldn't believe, I ordered the 32 to my surprise I couldn't get it pass my thighs, I did not understand why, I thought maybe I got a defective one, so I returned it, for this price I was willing to give it another try, I ordered 32 black again and a 34 beige.The 32 black looks exactly as my old ones, same material with the hock closure between the legs but still couldn't fit very small.However the 34 beige was made with somewhat different materiel and the lining is cotton, which I did not mind, cotton controls sweat/moisture, another difference the design there are no hocks closures but a velcro flap opening between the legs for easy use, but it fits so I kept it.I returned the 32 black but I still needed a black and the 34 black was sold out I took a chance and ordered it in size 36 just to see, I didn't expect it to fit especially if the 34 beige was indeed my size but to my surprise this 36 black fits perfectly even better then the 34 beige it was tight the way I like it kept my body shaped perfectly and it is made of same material, same design as my original ones from Ardyss with the hock closures between legs. The 34 beige I will keep but I do not think that it will last a long as my original one w'll see.Personally I DON'T think that these are knock off (unless Ardyss has allowed another company to use their patent and pay them royalties) otherwise what I see is that Ardyss was manufacturing in Mexico (at least mines were) but the new ones are made in China, that is the difference, most of the time if a company isn't making as much profit as they would like they always look for a cheaper manufacturer and the result is sizing problems and even quality sometimes.I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of all the trouble finding my size but I am very happy with the Body Magic, if you have some loose skin this is what you need at least it works for me.I hope this helps.
