Body shaping underwear

[Laranna]

ooh thanks girls, looks like a shopping expedition is in order

I swear by Nancy Gance (sold in Myer). The tummy flattening/thigh shaper ones are about $60 but well worth it. I wear them most of the time to flatten out a fat roll I can't seem to shift!

Another brand which is fantastic is Triumph which you can also buy at Myer. The tummy flattening/thigh shaper ones are about $40. These ones are particularly good for hiding the "backfat" you get from some other shapers.

They do work!!! They don't necessarily make you "thinner" but you do appear to be because everything is smooth.

They are a MASSIVE romance killer though .

ETA: Avoid them when it's really hot. I wore mine on New Years Eve in Melbourne and if anyone remembers it was like 40 degrees come midnight. I felt like I was going to DIE because I was so hot and sweaty from them!! Half way through the night I HAD to get them off and I had to ditch them in the bin because they wouldn't fit in my clutch bag !!

I brought an intimo (party plan) brand one and swear by it! with it on i loose like 1-2 sizes in the waist!

Oooh I second Intimo!! I had a great pair of them (they were only tummy shapers - not thigh as well) and I loved them! Then my dog ate them

City Chic also stock some Nancy Ganz for us cuddlier gals!!! Not to many places stock or even make bigger sizes.

I was amazed when i tried them on at a friends party AMYSARAH i put my jeans on again and the fell off me!

My cousin is a consultant and she threw me a party for my hens night - she gave me a pair and I looked HOT HOT HOT in all my honeymoon photos!

Ooh I am off to an intimo party next week so might have to check their brand out then - not that it matters now anymore I suppose! Suppose I could always use them after the baby.

Half way through the night I HAD to get them off and I had to ditch them in the bin because they wouldn't fit in my clutch bag

I had to do this with my bike pants ones once cause they were cutting me too much, lucky for me mine did fit in my handbag!
