    I hate Spanx with a white hot burning passion. Buuuut. I am obsessed with Maidenform Flexees. I usually go with the high waisted boy short ones as they are the most comfortable for me, but they c

    I buy maidenform flexees. They are always on sale. And even when you go down a size, they still can be worn when you don't need to be super tucked. I wear my old ones around the house and they help sm

YEars ago, I tried every girdle out there (usually the tank top kind) and every one of them made me bulge somewhere else. I quit believing in shapeware, knowing the fat has to come out somewhere.

Until about a year ago when I thought I'd give Spanx a try. They're a miracle! I bought a tank from Ebay for $17. Luv them! Not sure how they work, keeping in the fat, but I dont really care as long as they do!. I dont really need them for the bottom half but I bought some (also ebay for about $15). Tucks everything in really well.

I recently bought a set of Target ASsets after learning that Assets are made by Spanx. I dont find that they work quite as well but they're decent, especially for the price

Good luck!

I buy spans and I usually get them from eBay. Target has a brand called assets that are made by spanx.

I tried on spanx last weekend for the first time. I was always too big for them before. They are okay if you want light control, but they don't offer firm control in my opinion. They definitely don't shape as well as Maidenform and some other brands. Even the light control thigh shapers I have from maidenform do a better job controlling than spanx, and my firm control are out of the world.
