Primark Tummy Control Knickers?

7 replies

I'm on the lookout for some light-medium tummy control knickers and i've heard these are quite good? How do they rate in comfort? Also, what i find with some control tummy knickers is how they can push the flabby tummy upwards, iukwim? so although the knicker area is pushed in, the tummy area is pushed out! Think major muffin top over tight control knickers, not what i'm looking for!

Do Primark only do the one type, if not what's the better one to go for?

If you are needing something to wear under a dress i totally recommend M&S's support dresses. They look like a long lycra vest but are made of holdy in pants material and are brill under a dress. No pushed up flab just a totally smooth flat midriff!

Sorry meant to add that they are expensive at £28 but worth it> seen a similar one in Matalan for about £10.

Thanks bigpants, (really didn't think i'd be saying that today!:) but i don't really wear dresses, i'm one of those unfortunate girls that just looks as though i've been plonked in a dress and just looks wrong! So they are to wear under jeans.

I have them! They come right up to my bra so no where for the fat to escape to! They are not the most comfortable things ive ever worn but seen as I mostly wear them on nights out and am pissed and am busy socialising I dont really notice them.

I have never found any control knickers that work as well as Spanx. Bit pricey, but well worth the money.
I do have a couple of the tummy control vests from Primark (£5) which are really good at slimming out the lumps and bumps, and it is comfortable to wear.

Primark only do 1 type, in normal or g string, I have both - they are £5 which is not cheap by primark standards but they are identical to spanx/m and s

they come in black, white or beige, have high waist and are usually near the vests; I also have the control vests which I wear without a bra, they are good but they do shrink a bit in the wash.

I tumble dry the pants, but not the vests, hope this helps!
