Has anyone actually managed to piss through their Spanx then?

Without a wetting incident, either of gusset, bestockinged legs or, er, fingers (since presumably one has to utilise them to deal with said gusset)?

Because I got my (spanking new) Spanx today and am mystified.

It all seems a bit unsavoury. Though granted, preferable to taking them off. And on again. If they hadn't have been the right size, I shudder to think what might have happened (I did try them on in the hallway and various delivery men were due this morning).

Roffling and boggling at before and after (tell me you meant of piss flaps...?)

Oh sorry, read the post properly DG! You just said you were only 5 foot. Time for bed methinks.

Spanx knickers sound awful. Why not go the whole hog and buy a corset?

monkeybird

and a breeding ground for thrush too...

yes babies knacker your stomach muscles

Yes I am 5 foot high, there was no room for it to go up or down really

I wish you could SEE THROUGH the skin, it owuld be funny to see exactly where the baby was in that big giant tit

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:14

DG, I don't mind you hijacking to talk about MORNING PAPER'S HUGE STOMACH.

The schadenfreude makes me feel so much better about my own. Let's face it, that's why we buy the Spanx.

Yes it was somewhat better. Reckon I could fit in a 16 rather than 18 with em on. No breathing though. Could be a downside.

surely not a breeding ground for thrush when you've got a blardy air vent?

DumbledoresGirl · 23/04/2008 22:16

LOL that is exactly what it looks like (DG took yet another mouth wide open look at MP's profile - I am feeling like a teenage boy here!) But giant tit is good description.

Perky giant tit though.

zippitippitoes · 23/04/2008 22:16

and surely they are a bit of a passion killer you would need a very adept man to get them off wouldnt you

BettySpaghetti · 23/04/2008 22:17

Aren't they just the modern equivalent of the 18 hr girdle which my Gran used to wear ( as a child I used to wonder what would happen if you wore it for longer than 18hrs -thought that you might spontaneously combust or something).

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:17

no, not giant tit: Snoopy's Nose, I tell you!

Doesn't your stomach come out of them looking creased though? I only ask because my stomach does when I take off my jeans on a bad stomach day.

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:18

zippi, there is a suitably placed hole though...

Ewwwww (but I bet some of you have...)

I have got a party dress that I need to SUCK my stomach in to wear, perhaps I should investigate spanx?

Do they leave LINED anywhere under the clothes though? If one had a vERY TIGHT dress on, for example?

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:19

DG my stomach goes into them creased.

jingleyjen · 23/04/2008 22:19

Ruby - When I showed DH the piss flaps he grinned and said ooh easy access we could do it at the party

misdee · 23/04/2008 22:19

they sort of smooth everywhere mp. but i wore mine under trousers.

harpomarx · 23/04/2008 22:19

rubyrioja

were you also good at re-poppering the crotch bit of bodys (bodies?), assuming you are old enough to have worn them

Use a funnel?
But then you'd have to rinse it out afterwards, causing much eyebrow raising if in a public bathroom.

morningpaper · 23/04/2008 22:20

at thoughts of sex in spanx

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:20

Well, MP i'm usually victim of extra VPLs all over with these 'hold it all in' pants. But these really didn't. I got the ones that go down your thigh and right up to your bra though [mmm sexy]

OP posts:
jingleyjen · 23/04/2008 22:21

I had a very pretty dress on MP he couldn't really see the spanx
