I lurve them!!!! I was skepticsl bc I never liked normal spanx, but maternity spanx are great! They suck me in and make me feel "controlled.". When my thighs are oh-so-out-of-control:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-334101 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:03:27 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 334101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I purchased two pairs of spanx maternity shapewear and wore it under dresses this summer. I felt like every little flaw was visible and felt so much better with these on. Your belly has no shapewear material, just thighs/butt. I got them at Macys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-334059 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:31:47 +0000 DillonLion 334059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, maternity "shapewear" is amazing! It doesn't do any of the sucking, it just gently shapes, and leaves no lines anywhere. </p> <p>I have something very similar to this: <a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=965220111&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC32" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=965220111&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC32</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-334055 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:29:30 +0000 tororojo 334055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Are thongs out of the question? I'm still wearing them at 20 weeks, but your body has gone through a lot more changing at 31 so I don't know if they are doable later in pregnancy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333955 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:01:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 333955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Regular spanx help with the underwear line, so I don't see why the mama ones wouldn't. I'd just wear the thinnest, least line making ones you have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333942 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:57:00 +0000 mrsmenow 333942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm, I might have to try to find some mama spanx. Do you think that would smooth out any undie lines? I can't go without, I wear a pantyliner all the time for all the glorious parts of pregnancy going on down there (sorry for the TMI). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333789 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:52:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 333789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think highwire was saying that the maternity spanx were super comfortable too. I've never heard anyone say they were uncomfortable. </p> <p>I've never tried them on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333766 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:46:51 +0000 immabeetoo 333766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably go with maternity tights and a tank. I have this one <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Cozy-Maternity-Tank-Top/dp/B005SAP6FQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Cozy-Maternity-Tank-Top/dp/B005SAP6FQ</a> (I won it from a blog.. not sure if it is priced comparably to other brands) and it really smooths everything out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333756 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:43:53 +0000 Mrsbells 333756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wear cotton thongs for formal events when I was pregnant. They are more comfortable than the lacy or synthetic thongs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333750 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:41:20 +0000 Alivoo01 333750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think JHoller mentioned her maternity spanx are super comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333744 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:36:52 +0000 JerricaBenton 333744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a pair of maternity tights at Macy's and they feel so good! They are not shapewear, just normal tights and I definitely still feel smooth and secure. I think the shapewear ones are tight in your butt and thighs but have more 'give' in the belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333740 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:34:21 +0000 blackbird 333740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with tights or leggings, sans underwear. Shapewear might be too tight for comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333738 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:34:03 +0000 tororojo 333738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, I'm curious about this as well. I have heard that maternity spanx exist--I would think the kind that are like long shorts would do the trick for your situation, but I don't know exactly how that would work in maternity sizes. They're so uncomfortable (though worth it!) when I'm not pregnant; would they make me want to die if they went over my bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/under-garmets#post-333721 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:27:09 +0000 mrsmenow 333721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in a wedding next weekend and I will be almost 31 weeks.</p> <p>The dress shows any little bump/panty line even on people who are not pregnant. Just curious what you ladies would wear underneath. I was thinking maybe maternity tights (it is cold here already- highs in 50's, lows in 30's) Has anyone tried shape wear? What kind of underwear? I have not even attempted a thong in months, lol. </p>
