Its like a workout! If I'm feeling especially lumpy that day I will wear the cami and spanx tights and I'm sweating after getting myself into them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427718 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:34:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 427718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm. I might have to look into this Assets brand! I like saving money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427711 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:32:21 +0000 anonysquire 427711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: Lol this reminds me of the shapewear I wore for my wedding. It was so freaking tight and only buttoned in the back and I didnt want anyone helping me so everytime I put it on I had boobs in the back and had to jump and spin to pull it around. Fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427709 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:30:53 +0000 anonysquire 427709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@London Mama: I always get super tight. It might not be comfortable but I feel more comfortable being smooth and tinier. I like to squeeze in my psycho love handles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427700 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:27:24 +0000 SleepyMonkey 427700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like spanx and a brand called yummie tummie. They make these camisole looking shirts that look like regular camisoles but have a panel of shape wear material around the waist to smooth and cinch! Its like losing 5lbs magically. They are perfect for layering under cardigans or sweaters. You do kind of have to wrestle yourself into and out of them though. They are pretty tight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427603 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:10:31 +0000 London Mama 427603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried Spanx but didn't really get it, perhaps I had the wrong size but I thought the result was minimal, I could barely tell a difference compared to no shape wear. And I'm not skinny, definitely have a few extra pounds round the middle. </p> <p>Do you think shape wear actually works or is it all in the mind? If it works, how tight does it need to be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427540 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 01:53:10 +0000 daniellemybelle 427540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the cheap version of Spanx, Assets, from Target! I think they make a noticeable difference but are comfortable enough to wear to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427539 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 01:50:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 427539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: lol is that good or bad?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427538 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 01:49:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 427538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing! Wondering if the spanx brand is worth it....? Loft sells assets and I nearly bought some Black Friday but didnt do it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427492 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:16:48 +0000 HLK208 427492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I have assets too! I like them.</p> <p>I like my spanx but assets are a much better price. I got a heavy duty body suit from amazon and it feels like 500 million rubber bands are on my stomach when I wear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-427443 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:30:54 +0000 anonysquire 427443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have several cheap ones from Walmart and some Spanx. I like the ones from Walmart better. I have some of the high briefs, and some of the shorts and like both pairs equally. The high briefs seem so hold me more in though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-419295 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:35:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 419295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Target brand of Spanx, 'Assets', in the shorts like you describe. They come up just above my natural waist and not quite half way down my thigh. They aren't super duper slimming like some, but they are more comfortable and they generally stay put. I've bought other ones in TJ Maxx and the like and had a hard time with them-- rolling down or up, too tight, very uncomfortable. I've literally taken them off at weddings and smushed them in my purse. The Assets ones aren't bad though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-419258 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:20:36 +0000 T-Mom 419258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite is Spanx "Higher Power" panties. Helps with the mommy muffin top!

I really like them! The top hits at my natural waist and the bottom of the legs stops around the top 1/3 of the thigh. They've got rubbery stuff on the inside of the leg and waist holes so they don't move at all. They even fit over my baby bump so my butt still looks nice in fitted dresses! ;) I don't know what the brand is, but if you have a Nordstrom near you I recommend the lingerie department--they'll bring you shapewear to try on until you find the right one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-your-favorite-shapewear#post-419145 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:35:51 +0000 MrsBrewer 419145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 1 pair, a cheap-y pair from Walmart I think. I hate it! it starts just below my bra line, and they are like shorts then if that makes sense, 1 piece. The shorts rolled up and then caused an ugly line, and the top part under my bra kept on rolling down!</p> <p>Post your favorite, tried and true shapewear! :-) </p>
