Spanx: Tummy Air Brush for Less Than $30

Have you ever seen a beautiful dress on the rack and passed it by because it looked like it would fit too close to the tummy for comfort?

Have you recently gained/lost weight so that your middle isn't quite what it used to be?

Do your clothes create bad VPL (visible pany lines)?

Fear not! There's an answer, and it's so simple. If you haven't yet met them, allow me to introduce you to Spanx Power Panties, a gift from the fashion gods. Basically they are like high end control top pantyhose without the hose. They come in a variety of nudes, black, and in many shapes and sizes. They keep the tummy in and help garments hang right.

An added bonus: they keep the bum looking perky.

My only caution is that you get the right size. If they're too small, they'll roll down on you and you'll end up with a mini-tire around your middle. If they are too long, they'll be visible beneath your hemiline, clearly a fashion NO.

Spanx have gotten me through several weddings, formals, and dinner dates. If you want to free your mind from worrying about holding your stomach in all night, Spanx are the answer.
