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).

harppo, glad you mentioned bodies. I was thinking of them too. Weren't they the invention of the devil?

pania -funnel is probably a bit crass but a She-Wee would be classy.

Now theres a marketing ploy for the woman who makes She-Wees -you could get a free one with every pair of Spanx

at thought of pissing through funnel. in public.

cocolepew · 23/04/2008 22:23

Is it a hole that's just there, or does it have a cover, like a trap door.

Does it say something about me that I was not particularly shocked by mp's picture?

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:24

Oh now. Do tell about the She-wee... I am innocent.

Bozza, it says you are a short woman who had a larger than average baby (or twins)

islingtonponce · 23/04/2008 22:25

they are truly the business mp. you must make sure to get the ones that come up to your tits and down to mid thigh (with convenient vent, see above).... there is nowhere for the excess to go, 'tis all just sort of compressed. fab.

ruby - you are not Patsy from ab fab are you??!!

dumbledore - i think i quite liked them for a short period. god knows why, perhaps having no stomach to hide helped

zippitippitoes · 23/04/2008 22:25

no i couldnt they would give me claustrophobia and i just think the thought of having to get out of them would be too terrible to contemplate

and they sound totally ungropable

BettySpaghetti · 23/04/2008 22:25

as seen on Dragons Den

Monkeybird · 23/04/2008 22:26

Coco, it is more like, erm, an opening. RAther anatomically correct even.

there are flaps that open when you squat/sit on the loo

zippitippitoes · 23/04/2008 22:26

spanx good name for sex garment tho

cocolepew · 23/04/2008 22:26

I couldn't wear them, my Tena Lady would fall out

islingtonponce · 23/04/2008 22:27

they are not for being groped in, they are for swanning about in at parties, looking simply divine, dahlink.

pania · 23/04/2008 22:27

It would have to to be a wide-mouthed funnel too, otherwise in the case of a Very Full Bladder there could easily be an unfortunate overflowing incident.

Noooo, they always left you on a knife edge waiting for the poppers to pop at the wrong moment and for your gusset to suddenly fly into view above your trousers. But then, when you needed a quick release because you were desperate for the loo, you would find the poppers were suddenly non detatchable and would end up with wee on your hands. And then there were the fancy ones that came not with poppers but with proper buttons..... memories of trapped pubes haunt me still.
