Sweet Jesus: SPANX

Mama Spanx!

No worries here, when I am toting around my belly one day I will be sporting these totally unsexy and unflattering Spanx. Why you may ask? Because they are my damn security blanket. I have learned that I can not go with out. They hold me in and suck me in with little effort. Will I need that for my belly??…. HELL NO! I look forward to the days that I can wear maternity jeans again. But these suckers claim that they have

  • Soft yarns stretch with your growing belly
  • Provides lower back support
  • Comfortably shapes the rear and thighs
  • Body-shaping control that's comfy and flattering
  • Wear as underwear to eliminate VPL (Visible Panty Lines)
  • Perfect to wear every day under skirts and dresses

So how could I NOT get these!? I wish I would have known about them when I was pregnant before. So when I was perusing the spanx.com site the other night and found these suckers, I had an affair with them. But I am sure I will change my mind when I start those hourly bathroom trips. I can’t say that will be fun and will probably ditch them then. But they can’t hurt to try, right?

I thank the lord to my dear friend who introduced me to the slim living ways of Spanx about 2 years ago. Yes, it’s my secret that I shout to the world. I have gotten so used to them I can’t imagine not wearing them. I mean if I could wear them with my bathing suits, I WOULD! I seriously wear them EVERYDAY. Ok, not to work but you catch my drift. I just feel more secure, put  together and slim when I wear them.

I promise you, if your sick of that slight muffin top or hate sucking in, Spanx are the answer for you. Get over the fact that your wearing a spandex body suit, you’ll get over it when you look in the mirror and say… daaaaaammmn!

These are my newest pair! I was jumping up and down when I saw these! I can now wear them with shorts, shorter dresses (because nothing is more embarrassing that dancing at a wedding and getting “Low Low Low” with your nude colored biker shorts popping out. Sexy? I say not.

I think it’s about time that the people put the invention of Spanx up there with the light bulb and car! No lie!

A friend of mine just got spanx for her wedding. I will have to try them sometime.

Lauren said...

wow, never heard of them, but that sounds interesting. I wonder if the prego spanx would make you hot?

Maggie said...

Do the mama spanx have a hole to make potty breaks easier? If so, sign me up for next time! They had me sold at lower back support.

Unknown said...

Are they uncomfortable or hot at all? I should but a pair but feel like they would be uncomfortable.

More power to you for being able to rock the Spanx, Ashley! Even the non-thong versions just look so damn uncomfortable. I don't know if I'll ever go back...but I kinda wish I could.

Really? I had to wear these for the wedding and found them so uncomfortable! You should have seen me trying to wrangle those babies on...it was like a farmer trying to wrangle a pig. Getting them off was just as much fun when it rolled its way down and yanked all my tiny hairs on the way! I almost had to call in for re-enforcements to help me out of them. Kudos for you being able to wear them all the time. You must be a pro out it because I clearly suck.

I love Spanx, but I guess I think of being pregnant as the one time where I don't need it sucked in. Ok, so that's how I felt before, but then I read all the fabulous things that they do, and now I may get them when I FINALLY get to that point again.

Thanks for the heads up!

Marie W said...

hmmmm. I might get some. I have a couple things that need to be tucked in.:-)

Jill said...

haha that made me laugh, too cute! I wouldn't wanna be wearing them if having to use the restroom every 5 minutes, then I would definitely ditch them! love your post!
