Thread: Spanx me

so does anyone want to share how the hell do you keep your pants up when you wear these spanx things?

i have the kind that is a tank attached to bike shorts, all one garment, love the way it not only holds back the boobs and lifts but camoflauges all the loose areas

but it provides a rather slick 'surface' and my pants seem to slide down. If i wear a belt tight enough to keep the pants up i create muffin tops that are slippery

share?

Hmm... great question.

I am having a c-section in a few weeks and purchased some compression wear from Orchard Corset. It would be nice to know since I do have pants that don't have an elastic waist.

Lol, if it was a costume, I would pin it on the body stocking. But, I don't think this would work well with clothing.

I love a new step-in from Assets. It has this deep ribbed extra support section around the belt line area that holds pants up. I got it at Target. Assets are made by same company as Spanx. What I also like about it is that it is so comfortable and actually reminds me to hold the abs in. And it comes up pretty high in the back and under the arms so it banishes the underarm boobage and back boobs!

I like to wear the sleeveless SugarPetals powernet body suit under costumes to smooth out rolls on my back and tummy. But costumes slide around on it. So I came up with this idea where I sew hooks into the indside of the hip area of the costume and hook to the powernet (like you would hook a tummy cover to your bra.) It means that the costume skirt doesn't slide down and it is attached to your hips so the fabric moves with your movements instead of your hips sliding under the fabric.

do the hooks damage the bodysuit?

damn i wish they made spanx to go under bathing suits but then again on top of a surfboard i might squirt off the board like a greased banana. you'd have to wax me.

oh well, learning to love curves just not used to it yet :)

I would like to know too.

Do you know that I would wear my Sugar Petals body stocking under my clothes, lmao! That power net is very powerful. ..g.:

i've been thinking about looking at their site, are all of the options listed?

i love how they feel too, especially when dancing, remind me to do posture correctly

Hooks don't damage it. I learned when hooking the regular body stocking to costume bra that you don't have to put eyes on the body stocking, just run the hook through the powernet.

I have a wonderful bathing suit that has a lining of TWO layers of heavy powernet. Sucks everything in!

figleaves has some wonderful, strong bathing suits :)

Yes, and the colors... Tons of options.

I have one in nude and black. You know I never thought about wearing them under a swimsuit! I am always looking for the ones that have some sort of support in them anyhow. I will check out figleaves too!

Yet, another great idea!

I love the Figleaves bathsuits! Wow, wow, wow... I usually get from Newport News, but they ran out of the one I wanted...

Hopefully, Figleaves won't run out! I need a new one, I doubt I will fit into last years bathing suit having a baby and all. But, hey you never know! I still need a new one.

they have great bras too!

hey this bodystocking from Sugar Petals, does it roll down when you dance? or do you hook it to the bra to keep it up?



how nude is the nude? do they have a i just got a tan nude?

It doesn't roll down even if I wear a bra and tuck it under. People use the hooks, I haven't tried that yet.

I have Tan - my skin complexion is definitely beige a light medium.

Thats the kind you hook to your bra. I usually wear the kind that is like a sleeveless leotard cause it holds in the back fat.

I call it 'lightly padded for maximum protection'.

I think of mine as "back boobs."
