OH MY! I laughed till I cried, I have so been there done that! You know, your thighs must be in better shaped than mine because I get thigh muffins if I wear the ones that come only mid thigh. Not so attractive! They need to make them from under bra to below the knee so that when you (I, me, us, whoever) wear pants the thigh muffin doesnt show. Maybe we just need to invent some of our own! With a snap and all!

TOO funny, I'm thankful my use of shapers is very limited which is a good thing because my shapers are now too big, and the dress I wore the shapers with is now too big as well.. and I'm even more thankful that my backfat is looking less and less like that picture every day! LMAO

Man parts! That is too funny! I can hardly stand it. I'm pretty sure I will be thinking of you whenever I venture out to find a "shaper." And never, never, ever, will I wear a tank top and tie it together in the back. What a hoot!

love it i found the best shaper by ardyss lil costly but has the crotch with the snap and helps support my back tucks it all in and even picks up the girls lil tight at first but baught a size smaller event hough it was hard to get into but not before long i will need a medium this one works fine for now spent about 120 wear it almost everyday

I never wore shapers either until I started losing weight. Now, I wear one almost daily. I have the most horrendous legs known to man (at least I think so), therefore, I wear the capri shaper under my pants I wear to work. Hanes puts out one that has good control for 8.50 at WalMart. If you ever decide to try the Spanx-type line, the same woman makes the Assets, but they cost less. I find mine at Target. Oh, and yeah, getting them on the first time IS aerobic exercise. Heck, I think we ought to be able to log that time in our calories burned.

Ya know...there may be a future in "crotchless shapers"....I've always wondered how anyone was able to snap the snaps in that area, I suppose I'm just not that flexible, but the crotchless version...yup, that makes sense!! (as long as no manpart bulges slip out)

Not sure what the price range is but maybe we could cut the crotch out? I would hate to ruin one if its expensive and of course you'd have to live in fear of a car accident!!

The good thing about the wetsuit idea is you would probably sweat off ten more pounds but you would look a little funny lying in your chaise! At least put a surfboard next to you!
