Yes and Peacocks do a very good version and cheap too.

Oh really? Thanks Trumpton. Money a bit of an issue so that's good to know.

Yes! They are a godsend and I have a whole wardrobe of them. Primark have copies too... but actual Spanx (and you can find cheap pairs on ebay) are much better quality and will last. One of the best styles is the one that comes to just above the knee and up to the bra.... you get absolutely no lumps anywhere.

I agree with Lucy101, Spanx are fantastic, and well worth the price. I've tried own brand ones and Miraclesuit ones (which were absolutely dreadful and not worth £28!), and my Spanx are by far the best by a clear mile. It's worth paying a little bit more for them IMO.

I've tried quite a few types and Spanx are the best IMO. Trinny & Susannah not too bad but they are very 'stiff'. Spanx are very soft and comfy to wear all day. Others dig into you after a few hours and you cant wait to take them off.

Nude colour is best. I also have the black and sometimes you can see these under tights if your skirt rides up a little, so nude is the safer bet.

yes they are fab

They are good but uncomfortable.

I tend to get into a vicious cycle of drinking to forget the pain and then having to wrestle the fucking thing off to go to the loo.
