Waist cinchers can give you a smooth hourglass shape, but if they do not fit properly, they might roll or bunch up. If you have problems with your cincher rolling up, make sure that you are wearing it properly. If it still won't stay, tape and safety pins can help keep it in place. Most rolling issues come from improperly sized or manufactured products, so you may have to buy a new one. Get one that both looks and feels great to prevent rolling issues in the future.
