I have the Spanx Higher Powers ones. They are a bit cheaper.

I think they're great. I am a normal size 16-18, I would say they made me a comfortable 16. But more than that they gave a good shape which is what I was aiming for. Pulled in at the right places!

They aren't attractive, but they do the job

not sure if I need the higher ones - am a size 12 and just want to hold my tummy in.

I have both pairs, and find the higher up ones better because I get a smoother silhouette, but I am a fat blob.

The otherone linked would probably be ok, otrherwise there's more on the site I linked to

cant quite see why the ones that are shorter would cost more Confused mine are about 26 quid [quite a lot already]

I can't remember how much I paid for my Spanx but they were amazing! I wore them for my wedding, but wouldn't recommend this as the 'toilet' issue was majorly awkward!!! But it was definitely worth it though!
