Which are the very very best suck you in pants?

[MichaelFinnigan]

I've got a big occasion next week and I've failed to lose the three stone I'd planned on losing

I need one of those garments that squeeze you tight, is there one sort that works the best?

Thanks :)

Make sure you are sitting down when you google salsa jeans OP. I just did £££

Mind you, if somebody convinces me they will work I will probably do my usual S&B sheep act and buy a pair!

Most importantly, congratualations.

Thanks for the congratulations :)

I don't mind paying if they're good, afterAll our whole wedding has cost about £75

But there are so many. Push-in I think are the ones i want but slim or skinny? I like it when the ankle isn't skin tight if that makes sense?

I think shapewear works wonders with muffin top. I love the spanx high waisted shorts - although my tip is to upsize ... they still smooth things out but you arent left feeling like you can't eat or breathe.

Probably slim then. I'm now quite tempted by the push-in skinnies!

As the owner of a whole cupboard full of "shapewear" and lots of different brands I think getting the right size and shape is more important than brand. I think trying loads on in M&S will be fine and save £££.

I have spanx that are like pants at the bottom (no legs) and still come up under bra for good control. Paid about £30 for them.

For slightly lighter support, Sainsburys do control pants for £8, and the ones for Apple shapes are great for muffin top.

I have the primark shorts type sucky in pants and they would work great under jeans to get rid of muffin top. Comfortbale and under £10. I wore some m&s ones to a wedding once (years ago so probably different to current ones) and had to take then off as got terrible tummy pains. I'm not sure I even lasted til after dinner!

I find that the cheaper brands (of the shorts anyway) ride up and ride down.

If you get the tummy pains, definitely too tight I would think

They're my favourite pair of jeans - really comfy and flattering. We had a dress down day at work and all my colleagues kept asking me where I got them. Which is a good thing (I think)

I 2nd Felix, the M&S slip works for me. It smooths everything down and there's no ooze. And wearing your own bra is a bonus too.

Ok salsa push in slim fit jeans ordered (thanks MissBeehiving)

And off to m&s to try on pants. It's the first time I've been actual shopping for about 6 years

Oh, come back and let us know how you get on with the jeans

Congratulations on your impending wedding op!

I don't know if its just me and my fat arse, but I can't get on with the shape wear that is just pants shaped because it really digs into my bum and gives me that 4 bum (bit like the 4 boob) look! The only ones that really work for me are the ones that go right down the thighs. The slips look quite good as well, but I guess they wouldn't work wit jeans?
