Anyone wear Spanx?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering--saw them in a store and didn't know what they were, then watching Oprah's jeans and bra revolution show yesterday, she said she wears them.....

Anyone try them? Like em? Hate em? I think I need em!

I saw them on the home shopping channel back when we still had cable. They are a body shaping thing that look really comfortable.

They look soft and almost like pantyhose, but are thicker than pantyhose. There are different colors to choose from too, and I believe they only come down to your knees - so you could wear them under shorts, pants, and skirts alike.

Hope this helps. They look like a good product.

I've seen them on QVC and on Oprah yesterday. I have not tried them but I know Catherines carries something like them.

Well, I just decided I am going to get three of the styles and see how much better I look. I do have an all in one bra thing that I wear, and it makes me look soooo much better than if I am just in my undies and regular bra, but wowza, I can't wait to get home and get out of that thing at the end of the day! It's like "BOING!!!!!!!!!!"

Have to carefully explain to DH that I want Spanx for Christmas---ha ha ha ha

I have the power panties, and they honestly seem no more supportive to me than a good pair of control top pantyhose or tights. I have ordered one of the strapless camis, but I am still waiting to receive that. BTW, they seem to have larger sizes available on their web site.

I'm wearing my first pair of Spanx pants today. Usually I wear a 1X, but their 1X is huge; so I called them and they actually told me to go 2 sizes smaller; today I have on a Large; they are nice; very comfortable.

Oh my goodness...someone post a link, hurry!!!! LOL

Is that what Oprah had on when she was trying on jeans with Stacy? Is Stacy London not the skinniest little-assed thing you have EVER seen?! She scares me! She looks like my 6yo daughter, but taller!!!

That stuff just does not look even the least bit comfy to me. Did you see the cami with the thing under the armpit, ouch. I'd feel like I was in a vice.

I just got my Spanx in the mail today. I went out on a limb and ordered 4 pair of the control 'panties'. I tried them on and love them. Word of caution if you order -they run pretty big. My mom said the sell them on QVC sometimes and they are cheaper there.

Good luck.

I have a couple pair and used them more in the summer. You know when you wear the long summer dresses. Anyway I got them on E-Bay (new). In Winter since I am looking for warmth I will be investing in Thermal anything to go under my outfits.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
