Oprah loves her Spanx - and you will too for the way it slims your thighs, tummy and rear for a smooth, seamless look. The cotton gusset crotch makes it a perfect substitute for regular underwear.
I am thin, 60, and getting married for the first time. Since my dress will be form-fitting, I need to ensure a smooth look and was recommended to buy Spanx. My size was sold out in 3 stores I looked at in Toronto so I decided to order them online. Not only did I find them in my size, they were less expensive.
I find them a bit tight, even though I went up a size but that's probably because I'm not used to such things.
After several purchases, I'm beginning to feel that the extra $$$ for Spanx is not worth it. I think I'll stick to Flexees.
to any wardrobe! The thing about these panties are: you HAVE to size up. If you are not sizing up, they are NOT going to fit right, or control what you need them to control. I bought one pair - according to the manufacturer's sizing - and quickly found out that they were too small. Tried the next size up, and got the rolling effect. Tried two sizes up and I was in the zone. They squoze in tight though, so I went three sizes up and found the pair for me. Now, I'm not saying that YOU have to go three sizes up to find the right pair for you, but it is doubtful that the right size will be your normal size. I would start two sizes up to be safe. This seems to be the general consensus from everyone that I know that owns a pair of these. Besides, who wants to feel like a stuffed sausage under your clothes?? Final word: buy the right size. Once you find it, you will see that these are a must. Let's face it, this designer found a niche in the market and now everyone is trying to capatilize on her initiative. Most of them do the trick, but how comfortable are you? The feel of these power panties are fabulous, and once you find the perfect size for you, you can be stylish, smooth, AND comfortable in your clothes. I don't leave home without mine!
This shaper is a poor choice for men. It will pull you in a bit, but it is hot, itchy, not smooth, and the waist band consistently rolls down whenever you sit or bend. There's no comfort in the critical areas and it give a uni-butt.
I love the Spanx Power Panties! I bought the size recommended for my weight and it fit perfectly. They made me a size or two smaller and I didn't even notice them all day! Can't ask for any more than that.
