I took the plunge Thursday and bought a packet of support knickers at Costco. Tried them on this morning, and oh my goodness! They don't make me magically slender, but they kinda tuck/fold/support my ugly hanging belly, which is the #1 thing I hate about my current body. The outfit I wore to church fit SO much better - we went back to Costco this afternoon and bought another packet.

A nice point - they're also comfortable. (I was pretty much expecting torture)

Bonus yay - I also finally got up my nerve to try on pants in a normal store. I came home with a pair of skinny jeans and am just thrilled. Yes, they are in their largest size, but I don't care. I've been buying pants from the fat lady store for over 30 years. I'm a happy camper.

The cashier almost got herself smooched. She said,"there's no way you wear an 18. Go try on a smaller size!" The 18s fit just fine, but she really brightened up my day.

Nice!!  What are those things actually called at Costco?  Are they called "support knickers" or what?

Congrats!

Flexees by Maidenform everyday control tummy toning briefs. They come 3 in a packet for $14 and they're magical.

Thanks! My jeans and support knickers really brightened what's been a particularly stressful time, so I'm extra grateful and happy about them.
