My daughter told me they are made by Spanx, but they never have the style I want.

I bought Lipo in a box and was very disappointed.............I bought the thong one that goes to right under your bra, the back attaches to your bra straps, that means you have to completely undress to use the rest room...........that one was not well thought out before it was made.....

 Lipo in a box!  I have the high waist panty with a gusset (no potty problems)  Much better construction than Spanx (which i have also used)  the cheap Target versions are nothing more that control top panty hose.

I can't speak for Lipo in a Box, but I think Spanx are garbage, for the most part. I, personally, prefer Dr. Rey's Shapewear from Sears. I buy the high waist step-ins.

They are thicker than panty hose - but I don't find them uncomfortable at all. They offer great support, and I can still breathe! Yes, they come in nude. Thats what I have.

These are the ones I have -

They also come in high-waist briefs if your thighs are ok don't want the longer legs.

Another really good product is Flexee.  They make both bottoms and tops which are compression style.  They are a Maidenform product and come in a lot of styles and are really good quality.  You can them at the Maidenform stories, Ross, Marshall's and TJ Maxx.  Last weekend, I hit a big sale at the Maidenform in Lake Elsinore and got 8 pieces for $43, including tax.

I ran into the problem of all my underpants and bras being way too bad very early in the game, coupled with the fact that I am on the treadmill so much that I will take support wherever I can get it.  Knowing that I am going to go through so many different bra sizes, I am hesitant to buy more bras and the compression camisoles (whether they are Flexee, Spanx, Assets, Marilyn Monroe or whatever brand) actually provide very good support and don't show (except intentionally; take a look at the bar mitzvah pictures on my profile, that's an Assets camisole you see, the dress was brand new, I had bought two weeks earlier and I was already swimming in it).

My favorites are the ones that go about three quarters of the way down my thighs.  They feel absolutely wonderful.

To be really honest with you, Im a GIrdlle Girl! I wear one every single day!!!  I really believe Im addicted to them, to be honest!!!. I wear the high waist panty girdle. I only where girdles that are made of micro fiber (very comfortable, but very supportive). You really have to be careful with Spanx and other Nylon products that make you sweat and roll down. YES...Spanx will roll down on you, and you will immediately have a "muffin top" (definition of a muffin top - that puggy roll you get when the girdle is too tight and your fat sips out the top...LOL!)

With all that said, I usually get my girdle from Target. They have great girdles... made by Hanes. There great and cheap!!! About $13. Lane Bryant has some high wait girdles also, but let me start by saying, they are EXPENSIVE!  Also they have these snaps in the crouch part and if you pull the girdle up to high, all the snaps will come apart in your pants! The first time it happened to me, It scared me because it feels like FIREWORKS in your pants!!! LOL.  I also got a great girdle from Marshalls. Great Tip: Get a Girdle a size SMALLER...especially if its made by Micro Fiber.

Honestly, you just have to look around and find one that works for you. Micro Fiber ONLY WORKS FOR ME!!! Flexee is also good...but if your looking for a daily girdle, LOOK AROUND!!! They are Life Savers!

Just wait till you have surgery - you'll be FREEZING after, and welcome a warm girdle! 

Hi, i haven't had surgey yet, but Dr Rey from Dr 90210 makes shape where you can buy on sears.com or from HSN. I have the high brief undies. Very nice.  Makes you look good too.
Hope this helps should check them out.
