Spanx!!!

Okay,I was watching The Tyra Show and she had the lady on there that created Spanx.Its supposed to be hosiery that smoothes you out and kinda sucks you in.I wanna know has anyone tried them or currently own them?If so do they really work?

Re: Spanx!!!

my SIL has it and it does make a huge difference! especially if you have a problem with the "pouch" in your lower belly! but it's a tad expensive from what i remember. but maybe it had gone down since.

Re: Spanx!!!

I always find stuff like this amazing... Now, is this specifically for lower belly pouches, or would it work on any portion of the tummy?

Re: Spanx!!!

I hear they're really popular with celebrities, etc. I haven't seen any where I live, but I'm so curious about them.

Re: Spanx!!!

I see this is thread is older, but you can buy Spanx in any hosiery size (ie even size "A") in Nordies, Saks, NM or Macys. Lane Bryant carries the plus sizes, but if you are smaller than 1X, you can find them in any upscale dept store.

The hosiery runs about $20-$25 or so. I love the higher power which goes from about your braline to your knee. It can make a huge difference in how clothes fit. They have a "solution" for any fit problem.

Hope this helped!

Re: Spanx!!!

Just saw this thread today and I have to add that I LOVE my Spanx!! I just had my baby 6 weeks ago and with a little help from Spanx, I can fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans! I actually got my pair from ebay, so I think it was less than $20. HTH.
