    Okay...so who wears Spanx

    We just had this entire discussion with my friends on FB. I'm an ol' granny and my daughter's friends were commenting about how they loved their Spanx. I didn't even know what they were. (They are 'shapewear' which supposedly helps to eliminate all the ridges, pantyline, etc.)

    Well...I ordered a couple online. They are definitely pricey. They cost more than my shoes...and I hope I like them.

    Anyone else love their Spanx!

    I don't wear them, I received some once and gave them to a member on here, but people really seem to love them, even people on talk shows lol I can't remember who but someone came out in their spanx to show how much better they looked.

    Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    hate em! I guess I've got to much to squish in, cuz it ends up all being pushed up and exaggerates the muffin top. I then got the one that goes up to under the bra and it just rolls down in the back and even though I can't see it, I know it can't be pretty back there.

    Also, she makes a less pricey brand called Assets (ha!) at Target...about 1/2 the price as Spanx, but I think they have less "holding power". btw...I hate the Assets too........ I just let it all hang out instead. Lifes too short to be uncomfortable IMO.

    I don't wear them because I don't need them but have heard they work but you can't breathe either. Now if they gace me boobs I might consider wearing one but then Victoria's Secret does have Hello Bombshell bras which do work...expensive but work.

    I would not be going out without my SPANX...

    Kathy Lee talks about hers all the time, on the TODAY Show...

    I think the trick to them is getting the correct size... I have the total body ones from your boobs to ankles..the mid thigh ones..Nude & Black.. I will admit they can be warm down here..but clothes look so much better with them...Vanity is b*tch...
    Let my haters be my motivators!
