So usually, I’m not a suck it and tuck it kind of girl, only
because undergarments that constrict your movement are pretty damn
uncomfortable most of the time. HOWEVER, I recently have been getting nervous
about my upcoming wedding dress fitting and hoping I look sleek and toned (yes,
I’ve been working out too) for the big day. How else besides Spanx do you
manage this? Well, I decided to see what all the stars rave about when they
talk about Spanx. So, I tried the knock-off version from Ross - $9.99! And boy
was it a waste of my ten bucks…I got the same one as pictured below but the
knock-off version kept rolling down my stomach! And the legs were too tight and
gave me the sausage-roll-effect. Not cute and not worth the sweat that rolled down my face as I tried to peel it off me.
So, I braved it and spent the $38 on
the ‘Super High Power, High-Waisted, Mid-Thigh Shaper” by the company that
started it all – Spanx. And holy crap what a difference. I seriously put this
thing on and it gave me that little extra hug in the middle and hid the
imperfections on my thighs while it was stretchy enough to let me breathe all over! I mean it’s seriously comfortable all around! Even the thigh area has is ‘legband free’ which I didn’t
know what that was until I put it on and WAH-LAH! It’s like a second skin with
no cinching or bulges anywhere. I even wore it around under a flowy dress today
to just test out the ‘livability’ of the damn thing. And I swear I didn’t even
feel it after a few minutes. And damn did my tummy look flat!!! I bended down, twisted, sat in the car, etc. and that thing sure did not roll down which was really my biggest worry.
I’m telling you, if you want to give yourself a little extra
edge when wearing a beautiful gown or sexy dress, this is the piece to buy (even my boobs got propped up a bit and I wasn't even wearing a bra with it, but it does allow for you to wear your favorite bra as well). I’m
not joking when I say I’m a dumbass for not trying this the day it was
launched!! LOVE THIS BRAND!!!!
And OMG I forgot to mention the best part!! Because so many women use this one style with wedding dresses, it actually has a hole, yes a HOLE down there so you don't have to take it off to pee! Brilliant!! (I thought I had torn it but it's very strategically placed ;)
