Size of those Spanx pants

If you are right on the border between sizes of these (or indeed any "power pants" designed to Improve One's Silhouette), should you get the smaller or larger option?

I am concerned that if they're too small they will roll up/down and therefore not work, but if too big they will not work because they won't exert enough pressure on the rolls of flab, IYSWIM.

Help please!

So, no probs with them rolling down from the top then? Those were the ones I was thinking of getting.

I aimed smaller, no regrets.

Bythepower..I've got higher powers too and for the life of me can't work out how to do the straps round your bra strap. Can't see how they do it on any of the sites I've seen them on. Can you offer any advice?

W&P not sure what you mean..
I put them on first then put my bra strap ontop of the elastic on the higherpowers.
Not sure if that answers your Q?

Aren't they the ones that come with extra bra strap type things that you are supposed to use to attach your bra to top of pants? I've got two different sorts so may be confusing them. I just can't work out how these silly little straps it cam with are supposed to attach them to anything. Still work though.
(apology for hijack paperdoll - I may not be able to work straps but they still fab and do wondrous things for bottoms too!)

do you have the ones with a wee hole?

wingandprayer · 04/07/2008 15:59

I am assuming you mean the funny crotch thing and are not Scottish?

Yes, bit bizarre isn't it? I must admit I always put pants on underneath because I don't like the idea of being radomly exposed when going up stairs etc!

ooh I love it I think it is a brilliant feature not having to take my knicks off to have a wee.
