Anyone Ever Tried SPANX?

Lisa,

SPANX- Love it! They work and help to slim the appearance of the body. I wear mine only on special occassions when I want to wear form fitting clothing and they do the job! I recommend them to you. SPANX cost about $60-70, but a good investment. There are other less expensive versions on the market, but I have not tried them. Good luck.

I love them, but buy them from somewhere with excellent customer service, such as Nordstrom, so that they will exchange them if they run. Also, if you're at the top of a size, buy the next size up, so they'll be less likely to run. Trust me, they'll still shape. Good luck!

Hi Lisa,
I wore Spanx to my wedding when I was 3 months pregnant (oops) and they helped my wedding dress zip up. I don't know what I would have done without them. I've also worn them under pants and I agree with the other ladies that they really tighten up all the right areas. I would absolutely recommend the investment. I hope this helps you out!

Spanx are great, but there is another shapeware I prefer called *TC Shapeware*. It is super-duper slimming! The only place I know that carries TC is Nordstrom. You need to actually try the shapeware on, and if you are planning on wearing it with a particular item, bring it with you so you can try it on with the shapeware. Good luck Lisa!

I love Spanx. I where them all the time. I agree with the other ladies that it just pulls everyting together. They are pricey but worth it.

I agree with one of the other posts - It smooths the fat but it does sort of bulge up. Maybe it depends on your "issue".

Hi Lisa,

Yes, I have tried them. They work really well at keeping your tummy flat and shaping in those right areas. The only drawback is that they are not very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. But i guess you have to have some discomfort for beauty~ :)

I use the assets from target and love them! They smooth out the lumps and bumps and make me look and feel better in dresses. My husband thinks it is hilarious when I take off a dress after a night out and then have this other complete layer underneath to peel off followed by the nylons. Guys just don't get it ;) ! They are snug, but I find them really comfortable and they stay in place well!

LOVE THEM! I definitely notice a difference in fit. The only drawback is sometimes I feel it is a bit constricting. But I definitely rely on the long shorts for tightening the tummy and thighs with various outfits. My mom just told me that Spanks is doing a line for Target (not the same name), so you might check them out. I've only purchased Spanks on sale, and you might check out the Nordstrom Half Yearly sale. Good luck!

i have not tried them personally, but have heard they are awesome!!!!

SPANX are great! I used them when I went to weddings the summer after I had my daughter.

Spanx are a lifesaver if you want to look nice in tighter fitting clothes. Although, they are not the most comfortable because they suck you in. I wear the shorts ones to suck in my butt and tummy, it works good. I do not recommend the tank top ones since they ride up and you have to constantly pull them back down. Make sure you get the right size also! I have an XL and i wear size 9-10 jeans. Hope this helps!

Hi Lisa-
My bod has changed just over time. Forget kids. My wobbly bits are a whole new breed of body shapes.
Anyway, I tried the leggings and loved them. The only thing is that if your middle is soft and will get bulgy if squeezed, then you want one of those tube like things that smoothes the center. Wear your spanx bottoms and then get a tummy/ mid body smoother at target.
My most favorite things are the ones that look like swim suits- bra built in or they go around your bra. Saw one on the home shopping channel, but got one at Khol's. The only problem is going to the bathroom- you have to strip all the way down.
Hope this helps!

P.S. If you get them home (purchase them at Target) and hate them, just wrap them back up and return them. I did for a pair that was too big and had no issues returning them. I just said they were the wrong size and that was that.

Be very picky about these products! They don't make you skinnier, just move the fat around, and some products create large bulges at the top and bottom.

LOVE Spanx! It's like an instant diet! I have several pairs and love them.

Love them! I am in my 8th month of pregnancy and can't wait to get back in to a work environment and back to wearing my office attire with my SPANX. I would buy one to try then see how you like them, they are a bit pricier but seem to last longer...good luck.

LOVE THEM! You can get "Assets" (these names!) at Target, they are the same company as Spanx. They are cheaper, but not cheap. I prefer the capri length to wear under slacks, they really help me look and feel better in my clothes.

I have some, but hardly wear them- make sure you try them on first and underneath clothing... For me, they push the fat up higher and flatten my butt and I actually prefer my natural shape to the spanx shape!! I bought 3 different kinds for this one dress, and I ended up going without. So don't impulse buy like I did.
