[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Hi

I have always used shapewear briefs but I want a full body.

Does anyone know which brand is best. Keep seeing adverts for Heist on Facebook but don't know if its because i have been googling.


Its for a very important day.

Hi housewife the old adage buy cheap buy twice applies here. Spanx are the only brand that work.

I dont necessarily want to go cheap heist are about 100quid for example equally not going expensive for the sake of it so just wanted to know what people have found thats good

[KaliforniaDreamz]

Sorry, wasn't inferring that you would! and yes Heist are ££ i just meant don't bother with some of the other brands as they don't really work!

The ones i linked to worked for me and most of my firends. I hope you find something to suit. Good luck.

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Thanks Kalifornia- wasnt being funny just explaining for context. The ones you sent look good but I want a body I dont want the cycling shorts on the legal will try to see if there are any

[KaliforniaDreamz]

No Prob!

I am sure Spanx do lots of shapes - dress/pants etc.

The lady who did my wedding dress alterations said that in her opinion, Wolford are the best. We were discussing the best sucking in options under my wedding dress. No personal experience though!

My favourite for bodysuits has always been Miss Mary of Sweden. They hold my tummy in well (not an easy task lol) and have a hook & eye fastening instead of poppers.

I think Spanx only working on certain shapes. All my weight is round my lower middle and Spanx do not work for me, they make me look bigger.

I'm tempted by heist too but very nervous on spreading 💵💵💵💵 and they make me look like they do in spanx.

If you get heist can you keep us updated

[RadioSilence]

I have worn Spanx and Heist, and Heist really are in a different league. They are breathable and comfortable while still holding you in. I got my first bodysuit free as part of their "Shapewear Amnesty" , but have since bought another. I think they are worth the money when you think in terms of cost per wear. They've washed well so I think they will last and last.

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Oh wow thanks Radio. What was their amnesty?

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Oh wow thanks Radio thats helpful thats what i had read too but on their own marketing.

Do any of the brand's have poppers to make going to the loo easier?

[Bringonspring]

Oh my goodness following. The 25 year old shop assistant in resists was appalls I didn’t k ow much about ‘bodywear’

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Are you a social media influencer Radio

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Thanks ordered heist have sized up as usually find them hard to get on. Fingers crossed

[RadioSilence]

I'm very far from a social media influencer! I use Instagram to look not post and the idea of people looking at photos of me is horrifying 😁.
The amnesty was an offer I saw on Instagram. It said the first 250 people to respond would be chosen and could then send in their old shapewear to swap for a heist bodysuit. I was apparently one of the 250 (which proved it was not for insta hits because I had 1 follower - my sister).

I sent my Spanx off to the address I was given and they emailed me a code for the cost of a body suit. I was amazed because I never win anything and I really love it.

I don't work for Heist honest. I just like the products. I haven't ordered anything but bodysuits though. I'm wary of expensive tights because I'm clumsy and put my fingers through them and at that price I'd cry!

[LazyFace]

I got mine from next. No experience with other brands. I put on about 4 extra kgs and went to a night out recently. It made a massive difference, I could put on a tight dress and it gave me a really nice hourglass shape and I was still able to breathe and eat.

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

Do you have a link to the next one please?

[TheRealHousewifeofCheshire]

My verdict is in..

I bought spanx and heist.

Tried on this morning. I wasnt sure at first. The heist one felt more like a wetsuit material but a light wetsuit material. While i dont feel like it pulled me in as much as i thought it would it did feel quite comfortable and i could move in it and with 25% off it worked out cheaper than the spanx one.

I didnt make my mind up and tried the spanx on. I sized up in both heist and spanx.

I would've had a right battle to pull the spanx up and i could feel they would be tight and uncomfortable so i am keeping the heist! Although i dont think it pulled me in as much as i liked it did give me a smoother silhouette so i will keep it i will wear it this weekend.

[KaliforniaDreamz]

I think spanx do the job best but at the cost of feeling your organs being suffocated!! I am sure the Heist will give you a nice silhouette without the discomfort.
Enjoy your day!

I hope it works.
