Body Shapers

[marly7 18]

Does anyone have any experience with body shapers ? Waste of money ? I have been losing weight and started boxing here recently and someone at my job mentioned I should get one of those belly slimming bands (the ones that make u sweat so u lose Water weight ) she is thin so I don't think she understands that in my opinion the belly slmer will just roll down on me ...I have been interested in Spanx but they are so expensive ... Is it even necessary to wear shape wear at this pint ?? I'm less than 6months out and have lost 60lbs ... I will be at 6months on November 25th ...thanks for y'all's input )

I wear Spanx sometimes. I also bought one of those panies that go from just under your breast to your knees. Love what it does on the upper and it stays put, doesn't roll down. but the legs ROLL up... dirives me nuts.

Lots of ladies swear by the Walmart Brand. I haven't tried them yet.

I Love my spanks when I'm dressed up! Otherwise, I don't wear them.

I actually just bought a pair of Spanx in an effort to tame my excess tummy skin. It does work and it doesn't roll down, my only complaint is I feel like it makes me look thicker in the gut from pulling all the skin upward.

You should not wear Spanx or other control wear daily as daily wear can cause health issues. Save it for when you have a special occasion and want to look extra good.

Be thankful that we have progressed (theoretically) since Victorian times and we are not expected to be tightly laced into our underwear before we are fit to be seen in public.

What kind of health issues?

I don't know if there is a Steinmart in your area but the Spanx there are only $9.99. I wear Spanx faithfully.

I did not follow the links but I have heard that wearing Shapewear excessively leads to nerve damage. Plus how many men do you know who wear shapewear? If I'm exercising 7 + hours a week and eating less than 1200 calories a day people can look at me like I am I'm not wearing a girdle.

Spanx is my best friend but with the band i find food goes down a lot slower with spanx on. just today i had them on at work, i felt my Protein Shake take a really long time to make its way down so i went to the bathroom took it off and then everything was fine.

my friend who also has the band experiences the same thing.

Im glad ive read this i am due to ve banded on the 27th and have worn shape wear on every night out as far back as i can remember. I hope to burn them when i reach my goal weight but i guess that depends on the loose skin issue. Thanks for the post :-)
