Let's talk girdles

Or "compression garments" lol

Once you have extra skin, do you let it fly or strap it down? Do you live in spanx?

I have several onesie type girdles, but only one fits right and of course the dint sell that exact one when I went back to order after I bought it and loved it. I also bought arm compression sleeves, but dont fit into them yet.

I have not worn shape wear since girdles were de rigueur when I was young. I think I need to revisit the idea since I now have a noticeable roll above my waist band, since my shirts are more fitted and smaller now (well, all of my clothing is smaller). I can't abide the thought of it in the summer weather though.

I have been wearing spanx with work clothes/when going out but not so much at home/weekends. Clothes definitely look better/wear better when everything is smoother/controlled. Right now I'm going through an awkward stage and am between the plus/misses sizes so finding something to fit decently is a bit of a struggle. Spanx definitely helps.

I have not been but I also work from home and do not have to worry with work clothes. Doesn't seem to be much of an issue with jeans for me. Having said that, I may (fingers crossed) be getting a new office job soon and will definitely need to find something relatively comfortable to go under dress pants. There is a brand I have been looking at called Yummie By Heather which appears may be a little more comfortable than Spanx. Whatever I buy, it is likely to just be light control as I cannot handle the idea of being uncomfortable all day. Just not worth it to me to live miserably. Hoping I can find something that will just smooth things out a little and not make it wear I cannot breathe! Will be interested to see if you (or others) have something that works that I can try!
