Has anyone actually managed to piss through their Spanx then?

Without a wetting incident, either of gusset, bestockinged legs or, er, fingers (since presumably one has to utilise them to deal with said gusset)?

Because I got my (spanking new) Spanx today and am mystified.

It all seems a bit unsavoury. Though granted, preferable to taking them off. And on again. If they hadn't have been the right size, I shudder to think what might have happened (I did try them on in the hallway and various delivery men were due this morning).

Why can't you just take them off like any other underwear?

Am needing to understand this more fully as was contemplating a pair but want to be fully briefed, so to speak . Had never thought about the logistics of this.

Do they work?

OMG MP, I have just looked at your profile. That is not for real is it?

it is easy if you are squatting, in bushes for example, not easy if you are sitting on a toilet like a normal person.

I have spanx but have never even considered using the wee hole. They're not that bad to get off and on, and the fallout of a hole-weeing incident gone wrong doesn't bear thinking about.

You need a good pelvic floor, and the right sized spanx.

Bet Gok never gets asked this!!!!

I hardly know what to say MP as I can see that you are not a mother of twins.

Dh wants to know what I'm giggling at. I daren't tell him that I'm researching the piss flaps on some potential underwear.

Betty [genius] - yes! They do actually have piss flaps!

I got 'em on. Though, MP, I have to say, what with my VERY dodgy stomach and the, well, hosiery-like nature of the Spanx, it did look rather like a really bad, shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool armed robbery for a while. There was quite a lot of folding and tucking in the stomach area. I still looked pregnant, but an altogether smoother pregnant. [Am not BTW]

The thing is, you really CAN't get them off. Well, not in the time it takes you to just be able to hold in your post-baby wee. And if you then wanted to put them back on again, you'd be ready for the carriages at midnight before you got out of the ladies again.

hmm

it is WORKING?

not all leaking out of the top or bottom? (I mean your fat, not your urine)

I really need something to do the job that my stomach muscles used to do

Sorry, I know this is very rude to carry on discussing this on another's thread, but I am guessing you are quite short then? 3 of my babies were just shy of that weight and I never looked like that! I just can't get over it. Sorry!

Yep, I love them but (sorry if tmi) I have to lean forward whilst I pee otherwise I do dribble a little. but don't need hands involved.. perhaps a little practice

I am glad you like them.. I would go on an advert (as long as they didn't try to do a before and after shot)

I looked like that too MP (Snoopy's Nose we always called it.) No.3 boy was pretty much around my knees (hence armed robber's face for stomach in Spanx)

Try getting out of them if you are pissed - I ended up with watering eyes, having caught my pubes in the roll-up.
Took them off in the toilet at DH's works Xmas do, and went commando for the rest of the night.
