Which shape wear is best

[hermioneweasley]

I am pear shaped so use the cycling shorts. Big bum, thunder thighs, flat stomach and small (ish) waist.

Mine have given up (possibly under the strain!). What woukd you recommend as best replacement?

Living social have an ultimo deal at the moment and I wondered if they were any good?

I can only report back from the el cheapo end of the market, but Sainsbury's pear pants are good. (They do both pear and apple options).

My most trustworthy bulge-squisher, used for special occasions when I'm wearing a dress, is a knee-to-boob full body thing from Matalan, cost £12. I've had it for years and it's as good as new.

Thanks BigToes - will check them out

My favoured squisher is an M&S 'wear your own bra' control slip. No funny lines, and it really smoothes things out

Whatever Rachel riley was wearing under her dress on countdown this afternoon! Absolutely no vertical seams apparent down the front.
