Report on Spanx

My conference is now over and I want to report on my experience with Spanx.

• Comfort - Excellent
• Ease of use - OK
• Durability - Poor
• Cost - Too Much since it was so thin I poked a hole in it right away
• Does it smooth the lines and such -- ABSOLUTELY

Overall I loved the look and the comfort. The version I bought is like a pair of pantyhose but not quite as sheer. It said on the packaging to be worn without undergarments. The cotton crotch had a built-in split that was a little strange and I was not sure if it was intended for use but I did not use it :-). Since this model came up to my bra line, I did not like the inconvenience of having to pull it all the way up each time when using the restrooms (and if any of you have spoken to an audience you know it gets warm and one tends to drink a lot of water...). I hated that I put a hole into it on the first day even before I left the house and another one the next day, although that did not prevent it from doing it's job...making my outfit look fabulous on me...but I was still disappointed since I had spent close to $30.

OMG - Liposuction Without Surgery

Well, tomorrow I am presenting at our annual two day conference. I have four presentations to do for an audience of about 25 to 30 in each session. As with most of us, I have gained a few pounds over the past couple of years so I needed to go shopping for a decent outfit, since I have limited upscale outfits and did not want to wear the same outfits as last year. My daughter came with me. Well I want to tell you that old dogs can learn new tricks from pups!!! She convinced me to buy Spanx...she had heard about them through one of her friends who had worn them, but I had not. I thought oh yeah, another girdle. NOT SO. I am here tonight taking the tags off of everything and getting things ready for tomorrow, so I tried them on. OMG. I think I'm going to be very happy in front of my audience. Please check out the site, and don't be put off by the cost. I decided to buy it even though it seemed a bit pricey. I got the one called High Falutin' Footless for $28 at Lane Bryant. I will let you know after my conference how comfortable this product actually is. Stay tuned...
