has anyone here used Spanx? I'm getting married in 2 months and have a georgous dress picked out, but I don't wanna be holding in my tummy and want to look smooth underneath. I was thinking of this:

Haven't tried Spanx brand yet but bought 2 pair of Slim Cognito for post op. Seen them on others and they really look great.

I don't have any Spanx, but I have some Assets from Target, which are designed by the woman who invented Spanx, but a lot cheaper.

They are surprisingly comfortable, kind of a pain to pull on, but once they're on I'm not really aware of being compressed. And they definitely make everything look smoother.

Love them!! I wear them now to help support my incision. It looks a lot better than walking around lugging my buddy pillow. Congratulations on your wedding! You're going to look GREAT!!

I love my spanx too. I have several different brands but like the spanx the best. I have also tried the assets line at Target (made by the same lady) and they are close if money is an issue.

I haven't tried that design of spanx -- but have tried a variety of brands and find "spanx" to be quite comfortable, no rolling or weird bulging. I have the panty style of target assets and those are comfy too.

Congrats on your marriage -- don't forget to post pictures for us!

Agreed.

I ended up going with something similar, but half the price:

They've apparently thought of the pee problem. I'm guessing its a female equivalent to a men's brief fly.
