    Well, I did mean with clothes on top!

    The thought of me in just a pair of spanx is not appealing but I guess I'd have the bar/restaurant to myself...! :rotfl:

    But then again, the thought of going out with a wide open crotch under my skirt does little for me either! :rotfl:

    geri1965 - that is exactly what I was thinking! Eww, sweaty...

    I was reading a mag at the weekend & it said that they are good occasionally but not regularly as it makes your muscles lazy....

    That is not my problem area - I need full length skinny leg ones!!!

    you don't need pants on top of spanx - the fabric arrangement means you aren't *ahem* exposed - it has kind of a double flap of fabric.

    I think you'd melt in spanx+pants+tights+clothes lol!
  • :T :T :T You really can ask absolutely ANYTHING here can't you :T :T :T

    If anyone has a picture of the flap arrangements I would like to see how it works, although obviously not whilst being worn :rolleyes: ...I remember having something similar with hooks and eyes to fasten down there and believe me this was not a good arrangement, hooks will hook onto anything and there are places where you do not want hair pulling to occur :eek: I would also be a bit concerned about velcro for similar reasons...

    Ouch at the hooks and velcro!! :eek:

    Sorry I can't help with the flap arrangement but I agree it is likely not easy fishing about for a hook and eye in a small cubicle!

    But better than sweating perhaps... :think:

  • By the time you got the hooks and eyes done up you would be sweating anyway!! Perhaps this was exacerbated by the fact it was a bit too small for me as well though :)
