Spanx

KYbride, on July 25, 2016 at 9:24 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

How well do spanx actually work? My butt needs to be about an inch and a half smaller all the way around and I planned on getting a pair of spanx to wear at the wedding to suck it in. Do they even work? Would they work that much for me? I've been trying for months to lose that inch and a half to fit in my dress and nothing is working; it's so discouraging.

    Buy some and see! I haven't measured, but they certainly make my clothes and dresses look better

    I don't know about actual measurements, but I love my Spanx. I wear them anytime I wear a dress.... smooths everything out, helps avoid the dreaded chub rub lol! It certainly wouldn't hurt trying a pair

    I love spanx because it does take the extra 1-2 inches off. You can buy new spanx on ebay for way less and try them before your wedding to see if you like them. I love my spanx.

    I dont know for sure how many inches they suck in, but Spanx are pretty much magic. I love them! Mine are actually some brand from Target but they're still amazing.

    I'm clueless about Spanx. What type do you buy for your butt? Do they make something to lose inches on your stomach as well?

    My spanx were worth the price I paid for them for my wedding dress. I bought the high power shorts.... can't say they are super comfortable, but I guess that's kind of the point lol.

    They make shorts that come up over your stomach, and stockings that do the same. Lane Bryant has them so you can try on I think, getting the proper size is important.

    The ones that go over the waist...do they roll down throughout the day? Just trying to figure out if they are worth it or not.

    If you get the correct size, no...they shouldn't roll down. I do find myself occasionally yanking them up but sometimes they get loose from washings, etc. Remember they never go in the dryer! I also personally find that the actual stockings/pantyhose really hold me in the best. The power shorts and power panties are a close 2nd.

    I love mine! I wear them under dresses/skirts for work. They go from belly button area to mid-thigh. I've never had issues with them rolling down or anything like that.
