anyone own spanx?

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

So wait...you're supposed to "go" through some of these? Ick...I just couldn't do it! I have the Assets (knockoff brand by the same lady) footless tights. I bought them in the summer to wear in the fall, but then I got pregnant...I did wear them once post pregnancy, but they were highly uncomfortable. Early on I couldn't stand anything on my tummy.

I recently bought the Assets maternity panty hose. They're fine. I'm not sure that they're any different from any other maternity hose.

yes! lol i know sooooo gross and wrong imho! its not on all versions but he higher power panty one it is. theres a slit that i think overlaps, much like guys underwear and i dunno how your supposed to but they even say in the packaging that its designed for you to pee without having to take it all down. so not happening!

I have a pair of their reversible tights. Mine are old now (years) but are black and brown. now they are making a black and grey pair and I'd love to have those.

I have Assets from Target by the maker of Spanx. They're enough for me but I do think that the Spanx and better quality. JMHO.

I have the power panty - the Spanx brand purely because of the crotch opening. It was weird at first but it really is wide enough with no issues, really, I swear.

IMO once I actually get them on I don't want to have to hassle with getting them up and down just to pee.

I have a pair that I have worn once because they were so uncomfortable. I've heard/read about spanx several times in the last few days so I guess I need to break them out and try them again.

I buy the Assets at Target and love them. I wear them under my suits which without the Assets would not sit correctly at my waist.

I wear them when I am wearing something tight that reveals lumps and bumps. They are comfy for the first half of the day/evening...then I am dying to get them off because they are cutting of my circulation or cutting into my hoo hoo!!!

I was looking for the one that is a whole body suit with straps and it goes below knees- they do NOT make it anymore.

I am sooo bummed.

Try the Lipo-in-a-box brand, they have the whole body suit. Kind of expensive, but mine has lasted for years...

I've never heard of this, but it sounds like something I'd like to check out. I don't wear dresses or skirts very often, but I'd like to try this on the occasions I do dress up.

I bought a pair of Spanx for almost $50 off of QVC (or HSN?) a couple of years ago to wear under my dress for a friend's wedding. They were so uncomfortable and I felt made me look bigger in the stomach area (which I'm not big to begin with). I think it's because I normally keep my abs tight but with it on I couldn't. It's hard to explain. Anyways, I had a teeny tiny purse and the wedding/reception was a 5-6 hour event so I ended up throwing them away in the bathroom trashcan so I could breathe and not look bloated in the stomach in the pictures. But that's just my experience, other people love them. For me, not so much. Two of my friends were at the wedding and in the bathroom laughing with me about how much thinner I looked without them .

I like the Hide and Sleek variety of Spanx. I like the material better.

Anybody tried the Spanx bra?
My problem is back fat.

 

[luvmyfam444]

guess I'm just gonna have to try & see them all...

 

[amyy]

Spanx is on qvc until 9:00

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

IMHO no matter what your size is Spanx just moves you fat to the uncovered area. YUCK!
I've noticed at weddings & black ties some of the women look like a barrel with their Spanx on.......not terribly attractive

I have the spanx brand one that goes from under your bra to your knees and I love that, but even more I love the spanx cami... Recently back fat has appeared from somewhere and now my fitted t shirts look much better. I do know that if I don't tuck in the cami it will roll, so I just tuck it and then put my undies on... (was that TMI?) I am short wasted, too...

Glad to know you like the cami as I ordered it on QVC. I have a short waist too.

 

[minnie1012]

I saw the cami's last night on QVC. I was wondering if they worked as well. Which cami did you get?

 

[amyy]

I ordered the Camisole w/ Ruching & Lace in black. If it just dosen't work I am out s/h but if it does work I am hoping to layer it with another tank in the summer which would make me very happy. Under shirts and stuff too.

That is the one I liked too. I hope it works. I think I may try it too.
