Spanx (how to chose the right one)

I had RNY on 5/7/2008 - I have a hanging tummy below my belly button. Since I am flat chested it's difficult to find clothes that match the bottom half of my belly with the upper half. I am considering Spanx. But, I wanted to know what works best. I don't want it to roll down every time I sit. Which has been a problem in the past with other shape wear I have purchased. I wear a size 10-14 depending on the maker. Big issue for me in pants is (what looks like, camel toe) (TMI SORRY!) It's just that my belly hangs low & squeezes into the area above my peepee which then makes it look horrible. Any suggestions?  I have about 20-25lbs to lose still. I want to be able to wear clothes that fit but don't show my jiggle & make believe camel toe!

 

I dont have an answer, but I've heard good things and have been considering Spanx for myself since last year. Look forward to seeing what everyone recommends. I was thinking the one that allows you to use your own bra, it has straps but then I was a fraid I'd have a bulge/roll look on each side of my back from the loose stuff there,

I LOVE SPANX,  when my son got marries i went to Von Maur to get fit for  a bra and Spanx, she was wonderful, knew just what i was looking for, even had me put my clothes back on to make sure it was the look i was looking for, , they are tricky to get into, i use powder so they glide on, good luck, Denise

I love my spanx... I use the Simplicity Open bust mid thigh bodysuit... It covers it all... lol... I do sometimes have to undress in the restroom at work to go potty but its worth it... I am having to invest in a new one because my medium is not as compressing the more weigh I lose but its totally worth the investment :)

Thank you all for your reply. I just want to make sure I am getting my $'s worth. They ain't cheap! lol :-D

 Go to sears and try some on. I have and the differences between brands is crazy when it comes to sizes.

 I've used spanx all the time. They are AMAZING!! The key to them not rolling though is getting the correct size.  If it fits you correctly it should never roll. I have just the shorts and i also have one that is full body but you can wear your own bra.  Both work great and there are no bra line fat visible that i noticed.  Downfall as stated above is if you wear the full body one is that taking it off means stripping off your clothes. hahaha 

Not sure if you have a Nordstrom where you live but that is where I got fitted for mine.  

Thanks for reply. I am going to have to go into Nordstroms (I think there is one a few cities away in San Francisco) and give it a go. Thanks again!

I bought what is called "Assets by Sara Brinkley"  it is alot cheaper than the "Spanx" brand by her
and you can get them at Target.  I actually prefer it to the real spanx.

I like the camisole ones the best that come down to the top of my thigh since that's easier to pee in and it doesn't roll down ever.  I get mine at walmart--the sweet nothings brand--they don't have the tight stuff over the bra area so they don't flatten your chest more.
