Spanx Underwear

From LoveToKnow Lingerie

Spanx underwear is your ticket to becoming suddenly slim, despite slacking on your diet—and without "sucking it in." You can find styles to suit any body need, and to go under just about any outfit. Once you get started in this line of women's lingerie, you'll never go back to the generic versions. Spanx pieces deliver results!

You'd never guess she's wearing shapewear underneath this dress.

The Truth About Spanx Underwear

You can tighten your tummy or tone your butt by slipping into a piece from the Spanx underwear collection. If you've been on a diet and workout routine but are a few pounds shy of the results you want prior to attending a big event, no big deal! Slide into something from this line and no one will know you haven't reached your goal yet. These garments are meant to shape you without seams or bumps as evidence. You can target almost any trouble spot for a streamlined appearance.

It's not a Hollywood exclusive line, either. You can find Spanx underwear at department stores and online. Even better: They're not incredibly expensive.

What to Wear

First, ask yourself about your trouble spots. You probably didn't take a long time to answer that one. Most women tend to have at least one part of their body with which they're not completely satisfied. Second, ask yourself what type of attire you'll be wearing. Cocktail dresses may have more limitations than blue jeans, and a turtleneck makes it easier to hide some undergarments than a halter top.

The Body Parts

Butt: Celebrity chef Rachael Ray says Spanx do "delicious" things for your butt. She's not lying! Turn your derriere into a treat for the eyes with a pair of Power Panties, as seen on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Thighs: Almost everything in the Spanx underwear line that works on your lower half will work for at least some portion of your thighs. They come in lengths that extend from the tops of your thighs, to lengths that extend past your knees and down to your calves or ankles.

Belly/lovehandles: The Hide and Sleek Adjustable Strap Camisole will sculpt you from the bra line down. It even offers a built-in shelf bra for extra support and comfort. If you prefer working from the bottom up, try the Hide and Sleek Hi-Rise Smoother. It goes from mid-thigh to bra level.

Hips: If your hips are your trouble, try the slim cognito shaper. It'll do more than just work on your hips. Your tummy, thighs and rear will look even better, too.

Legs: The Tight-end Footless Leggings offer control for your tummy, rear, and then extend down past your thighs.

'"I Hate My Whole Body'": If this sounds like you, Spanx can still help. Try the Slim Cognito Shaping Bodysuit 069 for your top half. Or you can try the Spanx High-Falutin' Footless 160, which shapes your midriff and runs all the way down your legs, too. You can adjust the leg length to whatever you need between your knee and ankle.

Look like you've lost inches--even if you haven't.

Clothing

Dresses/Skirts: For work or frivolity, try the Higher Power High Waisted Power Panty for a no pantyhose look, or opt for the All the Way Up High Waist Pantyhose for a more professional look.

Pants: If you just need the equivalent of a pair of panties that out-performs all other normal panties out there, try the Hide and Sleek Lace Trim Shaping Panty for a panty line-free silhouette.

Tops: Worried about your upper half? Try the Hide-and-Sleek Strapless Cami or the Hide-and-Sleek Cami with straps.
