    *yawn* Spanx (hey ladies....)

    I've been discovering how a lot of women (and even men now!) on the cast of TV shows wear Spanx under every outfit. It really smoothes out lines and bumps in clothing.

    I'm thinking about buying a pair of two for when I wear things that are prone to lines and clinging at the office, especially when I buy some work trousers for the colder months. I don't like to wear thongs to work, because it feels weird to do, and even with thongs clothes are still prone to hang unflatteringly, even on really thin women.

    Anyone have a pair? Tell me about them. Good investment, y/n?

    Well, I suppose so. It would hold the form together. I imagine they're not very comfortable though, but I haven't ever worn real spanx. I like thongs, though they wouldn't keep things from clinging now, but no lines there.

    Would spanx ride up? How far down do the legs on them go?

    You can buy all different kinds at different lengths. The ones I want are like shorts. They start just over the belly button, and just a few inches under the butt!

    I have a couple of spanx-like undies, and they get super uncomfortable after a couple of hours. I know Spanx is like "the brand" to get, but I still can't imagine I'd want to wear them on a regular basis. Maybe for an actual job interview but not to work.

    Having your clothes look smoother on you makes you look slimmer and longer, Huxley.

    Spanx are great for special occasions. It's really super common for weddings.

    But they make you feel like a sausage, so I wouldn't really recommend it for regular wear.

    Nice! Thanks Miriel~

    I don't think I'd wear them under regular clothes when I'm just out wearing casual stuff, but I'd probably wear them with work trousers. I have trouble with those sitting nicely on me without lines and bumps. I'm going to be so sad when I can't wear dresses and skirts to work anymore because of the cold.
