    i wish i had one after DD1's birth purely to support my back. i felt like i had no spine afterwards.
    DD2's birth was nowhere near as bad though

    I just bought a 'miraclesuit waist cincher' off ebay (though they sell them in DJ's..for $20 more) which is AWESOME! It's a corset....holds me in and I feel a whole lot better for it. Good back support and my stomach feels a whole lot better as my muscles are held in tight (my DRM is 3 fingers so my muscles need holding in!). Though I wear it backwards as all the hook things leave a line down my front otherwise if that makes sense?

    I also have some killer undies (go right up to under my bbs) from Big W by 'Holdmetight' - they're also fantastic. Quite hard to get on but once they're on....holds my tummy right in and I feel more secure.

    Argh! They sound and look good but don't come in small sizes.

    Story of my life - I have the same problem with bras. Big cups in small sizes? Forget it. And now apparently waist control garments in small sizes is the same

    I do have this "23-33inch" elastic thing here I got yesterday if anyone wants it at postage cost (it didn't cost much) but forget the size it lists, you need to be WELL over 33" for it. That's what, size 14? 16?

    Will have to check it out the hospital recommends those Bridget jones control undies but that might be better.

    Yep, I used those and stopped feeling like my stomach was going to fall down instantly! Great support for that empty belly. And yep, not real attractive but a great way to scare HIM off!!!!!!!

    The best thing I have found was a thigh and waist trimmer from Danoz direct. Because I'm soooo smart I planned my wedding for 6 wks after DS was born!!! lol....

    Once you get it on it is comfortable, but it is seemless, doesn't show bulges and does cut you down a clothing size or two!
