Suck you in pants

Help. Need something to sort out the bulge in the middle of my stomach (belly button area) as I have an event on Saturday.

I have pretty much lost all the baby weight bar a few lbs but the middle of my stomach still sticks out in a horrible pregnant type way.

I have tried an old pair of spanx but they didn't really help much and it didn't look right.

Is there some sort of corset girdle type thing which would work (and pref available from M&S or Debenhams or similar).

Argh. I actually look slimish bar the dodgy central area of tum

I am 5'10" and 164lbs. And I wear a size 12 (UK 12).

I can wear my old wardrobe but the tummy sticking out in the middle ruins the look and its seriously knocking the confidence.

I have been doing physio for separated stomach muscles (my youngest is 2!) and two rounds of 30 day shred and just finished second round of 6 week 6 pack. And yet still I look pregnant. Argh.

Help. I am in need of a miracle.

Personally I would go for a body rather than a knicker because a body will give you a streamlined shape and a knicker may fold or flap down at the waistband.

Sunday. Thank you.

I see what you mean about a body rather than just pants.

Off to investigate...

IME spanx is always the best, the shorts body type one, I've tried so many maybe yours just need updating or a hot wash to shrink them back.
