Shape wear shorts you can pee in

18 replies

Pootletoo · 27/04/2025 00:15

Hello, I'm getting married soon and I would like some effective high Waisted tummy control shape wear shorts with a gusset that opens so I can pee (like you have with a body suit).

Do they exist?

All the shorts I can find seem to have a normal gusset so it will be really hard to pull them up and down under my dress.

Any suggestions?

Skims do “open gusset” https://skims.com/en-gb/products/seamless-sculpt-high-waisted-above-the-knee-short-sienna?variant=41297192091780&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK_PMax_NonBrand_XX_XX&utm_term=&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAABXxPQK_gCuPUhZFISB63mCXwnFI3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2viezM73jAMV55ZQBh1mVSScEAQYAiABEgLKofD_BwE

and I’m pretty sure Spanx do to.

I think they are pretty gross though, I’d be worried about dribbles, I think you’d be better off pulling them them down, but I guess it depends on the fit of your dress.

Thanks you 😃

I'm worried about peeing them too but I'm going to see. I really want to avoid having to take my dress on and off every time I pee.

I'd prefer a more hook and eye design like on body suits but they don't seem to exist.

It's actually really only my tummy / waist line that I'm concerned with. I'm wondering if a waist cincher would work and then I can just wear normal knickers and chun rub shorts.

Could you cut some normal shape wear up and sew in press studs?

Spanx definitely do an 'open crotch' design (I have a pair). It's like two overlapping sides, so the crotch is closed to all intents and purposes. But it can be a bit tricky to get the crotch to open up enough so you don't pee all over it, and you just tend to pee all over your fingers instead. Very good at shaping you though, but definitely require a knack.

I'm terrible at sewing but one of my best friends is amazing and would be happy to do this. Thank you :-)

Thank you, I'd like to avoid peeing on myself if at all possible :-)

Could you use the cross over open gusset ones with a she wee?
Pick your least favourite bridesmaid and make them carry it around for you all day 😆

Sounds like a job for the groom

You should definitely take a look at SlimlineUk. I got mine from them after a few mums recommended them on other threads on here. I think all their shapewear are designed with open gusset. I love mine, it's really effective!

Good luck with the wedding 😊

What about a body suit with a hook and eye fastening and maybe chub rub shorts under or over?

This bodysuit works wonders on shaping your waist and stomach but it doesn’t cut off your circulation. I wear one to work some days. Top tip - size up for comfort! It looks nice on as well.

A firm control slip, available in M&S or John Lewis is your friend. They do the job, are more comfy and easy when you want a wee.

With a body suit that has hook and eye fastenings you risk deflowering yourself all over again. 😀

Why not just cut out the crotch part entirely? Knickers are not essential!

my heist (open front to accommodate my bra ) have the poppers. Very comfortable, no drama
