I wear them daily also and don't have a problem.  I bunch them up and start with the thigh.  It helps to get them straight before you start. Sometimes I have to gather them up past the hip or bum and give it a second shot.  I'm sure it is probably very interesting to watch...It sure isn't a slam dunk!!!  I love the way they make me feel.

Wow! look at all the responses. I bought a pair to go under a bridesmaids dress that I am wearing in December. I have not even tried to put them on yet. Now i'm afraid.

Spanx are EVIL! They were designed to wrap us in spandex and cause all our fluids to pour out our sweat glands! I live in Vegas and got some and by the time I got em on I was projectile sweating and looked like a lawn sprinkler walking around. NO...I am telling the truth! Little kids were running through me! I was standing in a park and created a slip n slide. They are EVIL I tell ya EEEEEEEEEEEEEE-VIL!

I've been wearing them every day for 7 years!  I big puffy heart SPANX!  In fact you see my post two posts down about pantyhose? SPANX.  I thought the compression would feel good around my incisions right now because they hurt when they move, but no such luck.  Can't WAIT to go back to my SPANX - they make me feel so much more confident about my midsectin.  Love em! Try them again! :)

The only bad thing about them is going to the restroom. Since you have to do that crazy dance to get them off or on...I always feel a little self-conscious if someone is in the stall next to me and they see my feet tap dancing or whatever it looks like!

lol!!!!!!!!  That's what I thought when I opened the package and saw how small they are!   I have not too bad of a problem getting them on....but the top likes to roll down.  I have the kind that go all the way up to my bra. If you're having huge issues getting them on...maybe you need the next size up.  I was on the border of the 2 sizes and went for the bigger size. I bought a pair with the thigh part too....I ended up cutting the thigh part off because they squeezed my thigh fat and made it bulge where the cuff was. Good luck!! Malia

Is Spanx the brand name?  I think I've heard of them.  Where do you buy them?  I think I may have seen them on QVC.

I love, love, love my Spanx--not for the faint of heart but well worth it. Aside from the slimming factor they keep your cravings in check because they are so damn tight you can't possibly eat very much even if you wanted to! I have the kind like you and I bunch them up, put each leg in and stretch & smooth as I go.  I also kind of lunge walk as I'm putting them on and do a couple of hops.  Once they are on for a few minutes I'm okay.  You learn as you go how to get them on.   Long Live Spanx!!!
