I'm not overweight but do have a saggy postpartum tummy. I need some sort of holding-in knickers to wear under a bridesmaid (matron!) dress... Would love to hear which brands/styles are best! Thanks!

I have always used M&S ones. They come in 3 different controls - light, medium and frim. And they do several different styles. Most styles come in either white or black.

Spanx are the business IMHO. They are much firmer than M and S ones (which I also have- can you tell what an attractive stomach I must have ?) and much thinner, but maybe I haven't got the same ones as Hulababy.

Yes, the M&S ones are quite thick material. Although I am not sure I'd want them much firmer than the M&S firm hold! shock{}

Well, I expect mine are not-so-firm hold
