Need help with SPANX...a little off topic, sorry

[Wheetsin 714]

They even showed me how to pee with them on (you can't wear undies with them)

Don't tell me that, I guess. I always wear underwear with mine. Wouldn't think of going without.

I love my Spanx but I ripped mine the second time I wore them. Hmmph

They told me not to wear undies - because - everytime you pull your Spanx down - you reduce the life of it dramatically. So once you put it on - you aren't supposed to pull them down till you are ready to take them off. I have FINALLY mastered the Spanx Pee :-)

It wasn't nearly as complicated as I thought it was going to be. :-)

hmmm, so exactly how do you carry out the spanx pee?

Spanx are crotchless and you don't wear panties - so when you sit to tinkle, you pull on the outside of your bottom thigh area and it keeps the "Opening" wide and out of the way.

God, that is a visual, I really don't think anyone needed!!!

Oh gosh I could never walk around like that **blush**

I just wanted to add that I too love Spanx - I wear them all the time - word to the wise - don't buy the 70$ pair that hang - buy the 36$ pair that are in a box like pantyhose - they will last you 3-6 months and are much more elastic (hold everything in better) than the more expensive one. (both are spanx, just different options). I wear the kind that go above the knees and up to just below the bra. DONT lie when you are buying them. They only work if you are truthful on your weight and height. My first pair - I bought too small (thinking I will lose weight fast) I did, but the first couple times I wore them - it stretches them out. If they are too big - they won't hold everything in.

I def suggest going to Lane Bryant and talking to the ladies there - I guarantee they will all be wearing them too!!!

Good luck and have fun!

Here is the Spanx - illustration (attached) - I am including the link for Plus Size Spanx- but I never know when it will go though.

It depends where your problem spot is, I guess, but although I have a jiggly bum, I cannot bear wearing any of these garments, they actually make me feel sick after an hour or two and weirdly they trigger sciatic pain for me too. Its only worth it for me to wear them under a slinky dress for a special occasion. So truthfully, I would only buy ONE item and see how you go.

But I am addicted to the camisole tops. Usually, that's where I'll have a problem - if I want to wear a really stretchy fitted top, the lovehandles and slight belly jiggle will ruin it. One of those tops smooths everything out.
