Shapewear..........what do you use?

Ok, so it seems DH will not let me take out a small personal loan to have liposuction :doh: or a boob job :lol:

so it's up to me to fix those little bits that annoy me in everything I wear. The main being the baggage left behind by two adorable little boys. I have heard this & that about shapewear but it's all a bit foreign to me. Looks like it will just squish everything else somewhere else, like up around your neck LOL. And the hype on TV for this & that you never know what to believe.

So hit me with it, I trust all you ladies on BB.....can anyone recommened a decent brand of shapewear or particular product?

I have an undercoverwear one, but I don't' think it really makes much difference, and the bottom of it keeps rolling up. I just wear it now as a tank top really.

I do love my bras though that are meant to increase your look by 2 cup sizes. I bought them in Target and they are called eye catchers or something like that. They retail for $30, but were as cheap as $20 the other week so I got a few more pair.

spanx are supposed to be the best....i haven't actually bought any spanx yet but i plan to when i get some $$$ lol

Nancy Ganz from Myer. They have been the best I have used

I onlyuse the cheapy ones from target and big w, but they do help. They smooth out the lumps and bumps in your clothes and just help them sit better. I don't have a muffin top if I wear my control pants! I have some that are the knee to under bust tighs and some that are like underware but go up to under you bust. I can't feel them when I wear them, though going to the loo when I wear them is a bit of a production, lol!

I'd love to get the Trinny and Susanah ones, they look really comfortable. :)

I wear a Target one, it's great. I have the extra high waisted undie things. they have button up crotch and they reach all the way to just under your boobs. The top has that sticky rubber so it doesn't fall down. Smooths out muffin top, jelly belly and back fat! :D

Oh and it was only like $30

silly question but do you have to layer clothing so you don't see the shapewear? Or is it well hidden. I saw some in Big W (or Kmart...one of those places), it was like a body suit with a bra. Thought that would be great as I got to wear a bra LOL and would prob be better hidden. But the material wasn't very firm I would think it would be like bathers..once on my jelly belly will still pop out?!?! endorsed by Rikki Lee (the singer chick).......ahhhh I dunno what to get.

I have the trinny and Susannah ones, they work great as they sit under your bust there is no muffin top but getting them on is tricky especially in a toilet cubicle!
