Anyone wear spanx every day?

[HappyAsEyeAm]

I had DS2 four months ago, and I still have 5 lb or so to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. But I had a very saggy, puckered tummy and I know that losing 5 lb will do nothing to get rid of it. All of my pre-pregnancy clothes make my big tummy really obvious.

But thanks to other MNers suggestions, I have discovered Spanx - the ones that go up to your boobs and I LOVE THEM! They flatten out my tummy really well, and my all of my clothes look good again - skirts, leggings etc.

Does anyone else do this?

No, I don't even do it for 'best' I find them very uncomfortable tbh and I'm not sure it is good for your insides to be all squished up like that al the time.

I find them really comfortable though. Can wear them all day and I'm in no way desperate to take them off. I'm telling you, I love them ...

i wear the trinny and susannah ones when i go out of the house, have done for 4 years now.

i see them as a cheaper and safer option than a tummy tuck

don't wear them if i am pottering around the house.

Primark do a similar one for £5. I wear them on work days but not weekends unless I'm going somewhere.

I do. Everyday. Don't feel comfortable without them - don't want the world to know I have a muffin top!

Not good for circulation though is it? Plus if I write them everyday I wouldn't feel different on the rare occasions that I go out.

Yes, spanx or something similar almost every day. I also find them perfectly comfortable and they do make a big difference to how clothes look when you have a baggy belly but no excess weight.

I do wear mine more during the winter when I wear more fitted tops. I have a muffin top and the Spanx are invaluable at streamlining me.

bad for circulation? squishing guts up? It's elasticated fabric, not a whaleboned wasp-waist corset!

Good to know I'm not the only one in my spanx on a daily basis! Now that I've found then, I really see the difference, and its opeened up the possibilities of what I can wear without having to buy new stuff.

I've worn mine all day today, and they haven't been remotely uncomfortable and I haven't felt at all squished. But I have looked a load better than I would have if I'd had my normal undies on!

Ah, this has made me feel better... I felt bad for wearing them to work sometimes if its that dress, or if I have a big presentation to do. And I always wear them when I go out.

Now I'm thinking of buying more...

Actually, I have a practical question. I've got the ones that come up to my bra strap but they don't have a handy little 'slit' (whereas the knee-length ones do). If you're wearing them every day, how do you regularly pee? And do you own loads of pairs, or wear knickers underneath?

Why on earth feel bad?! In answer to your practical question, if I am wearing high line but not knee length, I just shove them to one side to wee. I own loads of pairs but also prefer to wear knickers, but only with the shorts type ones as the little slit makes my fanjo sore

Nelly, I have four pairs. They're on a wash cycle - I always have at least one pair clean!

I wear them to work every day but take off when I get home. I find than v comfy.

Ah, I am tight, I couldn't spend £120 on support pants (though if I had the money I would...)

Yes, Richards, the little slit is indeed uncomfortable!

Meeeee, im the same as you but my ds is nearly 2 and i still have to wear them every day. I have the m&s 2 sizes bigger body control, flattens stomach, smooths silhoutte and gives me boobs. I have about 8 of them, so I hardly ever run out lose them all in the dirty washing.
