One set doesn't go up quite as high as the other though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2580926 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 08:52:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2580926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had actual spanx but have worn other shapewear but was never that comfortable either. I just try not to wear tight clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2580674 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 09:13:35 +0000 gentlelunette 2580674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them and wear them for occasions like weddings or my husbands work events. So uncomfortable if you have to eat anything, but they make me feel much more put together if I'm dressed up. I could never wear them on the regular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2580635 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 06:53:35 +0000 caterw 2580635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear them a lot, but I do like the smoothing and tightening action for weddings and such! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2580630 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 06:07:47 +0000 DesertDreams88 2580630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear them regularly now postpartum. I still have about 10 lbs to lose and a lot of lumpiness / sagginess / diastasis recti. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2580555 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 20:09:38 +0000 Canoli 2580555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: do you remember what brand you have? I'm looking for something to smooth my postpartum belly out but a lot I've tried don't go high enough and then it makes the muffin top look worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524764 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:52:33 +0000 MrsB2012 2524764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair I bought years and years ago. I wear them if I wear and dress and it's hot as it's more comfortable on my thighs. I busted them out last week as I felt a little self conscious of my belly in a tighter shirt. I don't mind them, I find them pretty comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524733 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:31:56 +0000 KT326 2524733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought something from target, they are shorts and they go all the way up to right under my bra. I wear them whenever I wear a dress because I hate when my thighs rub together. They smooth everything out but aren't so tight it's uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524712 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:20:00 +0000 hb3233 2524712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one pair of spanx shorts that I wear on very rare occasions. They're not uncomfortable but I also don't think they do anything, maybe a sign that they're not tight enough, or something... I bought them for my wedding but wouldn't buy them again... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524667 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:01:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2524667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I wear tight dresses, yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524639 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:47:23 +0000 pwnstar 2524639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just during pregnancy because that's the only time my thighs touch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524635 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:46:19 +0000 MaisyMay 2524635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The off brand ones on occasion. I actually just bought a smoother garment because my postpartum nurse recommended belly binding but the binder she gave me like terrible under clothes and catches on my pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524575 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:18:13 +0000 Autumnmama79 2524575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I've worn them several times post partum and for special occasions. Important to get the right size and not too tight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524574 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:18:06 +0000 Mamaof2 2524574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524564 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:15:38 +0000 youboots 2524564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I tried them on for my wedding and promptly thought f this s, never again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524561 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:14:02 +0000 MaryM 2524561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they're that awful, go up a size. </p> <p>I don't wear a skirt or dress without something underneath, and I hate nylons and tights so it's usually either spanx or some other type of support shorts (I have a pair of Flexees brand that I love, but haven't been able to find for yars) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524542 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:06:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2524542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I prob just picked up random stuff from TJ Maxx or something! I'm not sure ultimately if it was helpful (maybe you do need the spanx can't breathe level to really work), but it definitely smoothed things out under my clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524537 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:03:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2524537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: oh maybe I should look for those - I want something that holds you in just a little - I don't need a corset! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524534 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:02:26 +0000 chopsuey 2524534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: 😂👍🏻 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524525 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:58:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2524525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! I've never tried spanx but I def have worn control underwear before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524522 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:57:19 +0000 Madison43 2524522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! I've definitely taken them off in the bathroom and stuffed them in bag on more than one occasion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524521 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:56:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 2524521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep all the time for dressy occasions. I want it all sucked in and smooth under my dress. They aren't comfortable but the smoothness is worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524517 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:55:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2524517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to wear them before Dr. Oz said they were awful for your organs. I wore them even when I really didn't need a suck in, but wanted to smooth my hips and round my behind. Eating and drinking wasn't bad, but taking them off was such a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524513 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:54:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2524513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: don't! they are awful! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524512 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:54:08 +0000 chopsuey 2524512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah I've never tried spanx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-spanx#post-2524508 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:51:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2524508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a banquet on Friday night last week and I decided to wear them (had bought them probably a year ago but never wore them). They were impossible to get on but once on they held everything in nicely.</p> <p>I was good to go until dinner started - after sitting down and eating /drinking I was dying!!!</p> <p>I finally went to the bathroom and took them off - ahhhh..... relief! :silly: </p> <p>Only then was I able to finish dinner!</p> <p>Do you wear them? Do you eat in them? HOW?? </p>
