does spanx work?

I'm thinking of buying something to keep my belly under control

Could anyone tell me if they are worth the money?

Thanks

according to my sis, they are great! and she did look great with them on, we were trying on dresses and they seemed to keep it all in...:D

Yes but i would only recommend the "high power" ones - that come right up to your ribcage ( mine tuck under my bra lol!) I bought the ones that don't come as high up once before and the muffin they created was worse than the real one!

the high power ones - look like a giant pair of cycling shorts - are fantastic and actually fairly comfortable.

Ditto to scotsgirl or u get a big roll of fat over the top......well, it has to go somewhere

this might be a bit more information than some people want to hear, but I'd also choose the umm crotchless kind:eek: because once you've got them on they're a nightmare to get off and if you need to visit the ladies you'll end up in a right tussle in the cubicle!

Thanks all

Would ebay be the cheapest place to buy?

I've never found them very cheap on ebay to be honest. figleaves has a vat free offer on today which makes them £22.28

I think thats about the cheapest I've seen them.

edit - hang on - I have a discount code too - try using discount code "sorry" - should give 20% off

M&S 'firm control' bodies are pretty good too - they keep the wobble at bay £28 IIRC.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: very obvious advice that would never occur to you until you're in the cubicle desperate for a wee and frantically tearing off your clothes :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:and I thought crotchless was just for floozies

Well, that as well! :rotfl:

Ok, I have to ask:

Do you put pants on top of them? You surely aren't supposed to leave your bits open to the elements are you?

Skint_Catt

Yes pants on after otherwise you still won't be able to get them down! :eek: :rotfl:
