Who has tried Spanx?
And do they work?? Looking for something to help suck in some of that um.....lovely post baby weight that is still hanging on like a tire around my middle. We have a wedding coming up and would like something like this to help me out a little bit:) Other recommendations welcome. And I don't want to spend a fortune. Of course.
Re: Who has tried Spanx?
I have some that I used for my wedding..
I like that it SMOOTHs everything out. and holds you in
I have some. They are the style that look like biker shorts that smooth your bum and hug in most of your tummy area. They are a little tricky to get on - they are much less stretchy than a pair of control top panty hose.
And a word of warning....if you have a little too much to drink (like I did at my cousin's wedding) they become QUITE tricky to get back on just right after you go to the bathroom.
My friend combines the shorts with a tank and it seems to hold everything in. But yes....your body needs to go somewhere, it doesn't just disappear. :-)
For my wedding I tried Spanx but ended up going with a combination of two Hanes brand pieces. I had one that was like shorts that overlapped with one that was like the bodice of a corset with wires in it. I really felt that they did what I needed them too better than the Spanx brand. The best thing was that I was able to manipulate the shorts in the restroom without messing around with the top part. As a bonus it was cheaper for both pieces at Target than one Spanx and Cacique, and I can now wear one or the other depending on the outfit.
Bottom line though, try them on before buying.
