I think I need to break down and buy...gasp!...Spanx
Seriously.
When I had my impromptu mini shopping spree in Indiana a few weeks ago, I bought a dress I just love at the Ralph Lauren outlet. I plan to wear it Saturday to a wedding, but I need something to smooth me out underneath. What kind do you recommend? How much $ will I be out? Who sells them? Is there any thing comparable for cheaper? How comfortable/uncomfortable are they? For someone who's constantly 'gotta go' (although not as bad since I quite drinking)...how difficult are they when it comes to bathroom breaks?

Re: I think I need to break down and buy...gasp!...Spanx
I have bought both spanx and knock-off versions and I found the knock-off versions are just not as nice. (Maybe there is a good one out there, but I was spending just as much looking for a knock-off that worked as I would have if I just bought the spanx in the first place.)
The two pair I have goe from under the bra to about mid-thigh. And have straps to connect it to your bra if you are concerned about it rolling down. It also has a slit for going #1, which at first I thought was gross, but it ended up being a pretty nice feature. I think it was $35. I've bought spanx at Dillards once (high mark up though) and Torrid once (tough to find the smaller sizes though.)
This right here is another concern...anything 'support' seems to just love to roll right down. So uncomfy! So that's awesome they have those straps! I actually got a spanx catalogue a few weeks ago but didn't pay it much mind beyond looking at the bathing suits they have. I have to body shaper thingies from VS, but they are so uncomfortable..and one was from a slightly smaller time in my life and the other was from a lot larger time in my life.
