I was talking to a GG girl friend yesterday and she said that Spanx are the way to go in control underwear. Has anyone tried them?

Spanx and their cheaper cousin Assets are wonderful for a control aqnd a smooth look!! Assets are from the same people that brought us Spanx and they are significantly less expensive, but are slightly different shapes and designs. Spanx are at Lane Bryant, Nordstoms, and Neimans, while Assets can be found at Target.

Spanx are great if all you need is some smoothing however if you want frim control then you have to go to a true girdle. Personally I wear Spanx bottoms probably half the time, but I am not a fan of their tops or all-in-ones. If I want a control camisole I wear Barely There.

Ditto Deidre.
My wife has tried them and basically they are pantie hose with more support. Great for smoothing things over and firming things up. Same as most shapers today just combined with PH.

Yes, I've tried them, as well as some other control briefs. I love the feeling...like being hugged...and that nice retro-look as well.

I bought a pair of their power panties - NOT for us girls with a little something extra down there! The twins drop through the opening in the crotch. I had to wear panties underneath. The forming control was not all that great either.

My wife gave me a Spanx pullover type bra, size large. It's the most comfortable bra I own. As I have no breasts of my own, this bra stretches flat across my chest and is undetectable under a tee shirt.
