Best control pants for a flatter looking stomach?

I'm going to a sort of school reunion on Sat but had DS five weeks ago so my stomach has seen better days and I still look quite pregnant. Does any one know of any what the best control pants are to give you a flatter stomach, my asda ones are so uncomfortable and always roll down giving me a horrid paunch on the top of my stomach.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd go for the ones that come right up to your bra and attach to the bra with straps / hooks. Spanx do a version, but I'm sure John Lewis or Marks will have their own version. The other types just roll down, ime.

However, it really depends on how pregnant you look. I have had c-sections with my kids and honestly did look about five months pregnant for months afterwards. Spanx didn't cut it, as they just pressed my fat belly into one smooth round mound, making me look even more pregnant

A loose-fitting tunic or smock top in a dark colour, with slim fitting trousers and killer accessories might be most forgiving.

You have literally just given birth, too, so anyone who is expecting you to be showing off a washboard tum needs their head checking!

have fun Smile

are you planning to wear a dress or skirt? This one is excellent and does not roll down or up anywhere.

TK Maxx have great value branded support wear. I had a tummy tuck in the summer and found Maiden Form were the best ones - a bargainous fiver a pair too. They also stock the all in one body things too.
