I have the Spanx Higher Powers ones. They are a bit cheaper.

I think they're great. I am a normal size 16-18, I would say they made me a comfortable 16. But more than that they gave a good shape which is what I was aiming for. Pulled in at the right places!

SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 14:41

these are the ones I swear by

They aren't attractive, but they do the job

SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 14:42

magic knicker shop v good service too., have used them, a few times

Beetroot · 12/03/2008 14:54

well?

OP posts:
Beetroot · 12/03/2008 14:55

not sure if I need the higher ones - am a size 12 and just want to hold my tummy in.

OP posts:
SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 14:58

I have both pairs, and find the higher up ones better because I get a smoother silhouette, but I am a fat blob.

The otherone linked would probably be ok, otrherwise there's more on the site I linked to

Beetroot · 12/03/2008 14:59

thank you - I have oreder thelower ones and will see how they are

SoupDragon · 12/03/2008 15:36

Phew! I thought I'd missed some revelation

Beetroot · 12/03/2008 16:27

i have the higher power ones too, mainly for the tummy holdyinniness... im a 12 too. i would not want a seam line cutting through the middle of my squidgy middle.

Beetroot · 12/03/2008 19:23

oh dear maybe I ahve orderd the wrong oones - will see what theya re like

OP posts:
BoysOnToast · 12/03/2008 19:26

cant quite see why the ones that are shorter would cost more Confused mine are about 26 quid [quite a lot already]

HazieAndBaby · 12/03/2008 19:27

I can't remember how much I paid for my Spanx but they were amazing! I wore them for my wedding, but wouldn't recommend this as the 'toilet' issue was majorly awkward!!! But it was definitely worth it though!

SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 19:30

Me and boys are Spanx afficionbados

BoysOnToast · 12/03/2008 20:35
