Spanx - worth it? Recommendations needed!

We’re off to an important social event at the end of the month where I want to feel confident. Having drunk too much rosé this summer I’ve realised that it’s time for a tummy tuck or Spanx or similar !

I’ve never bought shapewear and it’s pricey per individual item (knickers or shorts) so I’d be very grateful for some advice here so I don’t waste money. I want to be able to breathe normally!

TIA
