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.



I definitely recommend them, but will consider trying the heftier version, even though it also has a heftier price (of around $60 - $70), since I seem to be prone to poke holes into the thinner version. If you are someone who has skill putting on regular nylons, you would find it easy to use the thinner version.

I would love to hear from others who may have used this product.
