Spanx Me!

OK girls...have you seen these things? They come all different ways, but I guess the most popular are the "footless" pantyhose that you can wear under your pants to make everything "smooth."

I picked up a pair or "top to bottom" Spanx to wear with a skirt I made. (I thought it might be nice to be a little "pulled together" as I went to this wedding.)

So Sunday, as I was getting ready for Church, I decided to put them on.

Ummm....what the? These things are the tightest tummy shapers I've seen! I was halfway through getting them on when I wondered if I had accidentally bought the wrong size! I was literally squishing everything into them inch by inch! I'm so glad that Ric was giving Ryan a bath, because it wasn't the prettiest scene!

While double-checking the size, I re-read the features of these things...and I quote:

• Look slimmer with extra tummy control. Smooths entire midriff, thigh, and rear. (OK, I can handle that)
  
• Soft waistband comfortably stays in place with special design (if you can get it UP to your waist that is!)
• Avoid VPL. (Visible Panty Lines) (Not a problem for me with the "brand" of underwear I happen to sport!)
• Comfortable body shaping offers perfect smoothing control. (Who writes this stuff?)
• Cotton double gusset (crotch) opens to make life easier when Mother Nature calls. (That's when I lost it! Apparently, these things weren't made with Temple-attending Mormon's in mind! hehe)
• Etc etc...
  

So anyway...after my 15 minute workout getting these things on. (Yes, I HAD purchased the right size.) I have to say that they are pretty cool! I was definitely body shaped and smoothed! I just prayed that I wouldn't have to go to the bathroom and repeat the entire scene again!
