Hmmm......I’m not finding having sex in a spanx appealing for anyone.

I go nude under formal gowns since I buy dresses in thick lined fabric. I wear silk slips under jersey or cotton day dresses. So much more comfortable

If someone has picked out a flimsy bridesmaid dress for you that you simply must wear, sure. But for the rest of these girdle-necessary occasions, wouldn't it be easier to Just Say No at the point of purchase? Like when you're looking at your gut rolls and dimpled butt in the 3-way mirror at the store before you even buy the overly body-conscious clinging item?
That's what I do. Just skip the jersey fabric. Or go up a size.
Agree. Maybe buy clothes that fit?
Hi, hello. I’m a fat woman. There are no clothes that don’t in some way reveal my odd shaped gut, and believe me, I’m not one for vanity sizing. If I want to look smooth and not lumpen, spanx is it.

No, they make them so girls can pee standing up. My son's friends who used to go to Coachella said it was disgusting because girls were so into being able to take a whiz like men they were doing it all over the place, not looking for a tree.
WTF? Impossible to pee standing up with these. Plus, hot young things at Coachella are wearing crop tops/bikinis/short shorts, etc. not nude colored middle aged woman shapewear that goes from knee to underboob.
This is fake news.

I think most people wear dresses with their spanx but anyway it wouldn't be camel toe because there's no central seam. It would be more like...
wh0re's hoof.

Anonymous wrote:Wearing spanx isn't about wearing clothes that are too clingy or a size too small. It's basically doing what a bra does for women with small breasts: keeping things properly positioned and minimizing bounce. True girdles are analogous to an underwire bra for a woman with 34G breasts. Spanx are like the wire-free lounging bras.
Most women would look so much better if they wore the proper foundations under their clothing. They can take the place of a slip, which very few women bother with anymore. Your clothing rests along your body better if there is something between the fabric and your skin. I wish more people could see their butts from behind when they go out of the house all free-form in a dress or skirt. I'm sure that people would make different fashion choices as a result. And wearing them doesn't mean you're fat. Only a drag queen with a male butt wouldn't benefit from them. It just means you have a woman's body with normal fat deposits in the right places. They sell them in XS for a reason.
