Straight up false advertising if you ask me.

    Personally I think spanx make people look funny because you can still tell their weight by their arms and legs, but the stomach/backside looks abnormally smooth for what you would expect someones shape to look like.

    It's as deceptive as a guy stuffing the front of his pants before the date.

    I also love how when you see an ad for them, it's always people that don't need them being used as models.

    Exactly what I was thinking.

    Everything about you is a lie. And you expect men to tell the truth."

    I would imagine that would get in the way of the undressing portion of the evening... I mean... I've tried wearing spanx before and it was like trying to stuff sausage... there can't possibly be anything sexy about having to take it off in front of someone?

    There are always blindfolds I guess...


    all of this is in the assumption, of course, that one does these sort of things on a first date...

    No way. Too hard to take off at the end of the date.

    Ha! I was thinking the same thing. Same reason I wouldn't wear control top panty hose.

    I did it once. It was horrifying to struggle to take it off in front of him. There was no way I was going to let him see me try to put it back on (my shirt didn't fit over my fat rolls, so I had to borrow a sweatshirt).

    Nope. I tend to save that kind of crap for stuff like weddings or events when I want to look really hot.

    And I'd not wear it at all now as I've been told it's about as sexy as if I had just encased my whole body in sausage casing

    That sounds somewhat trauamatic... lol. And enough of a reason for me not to do it. lol.

    At least with pantyhose you can just tear and buy new ones later... that actually sounds really hot now that I think about it...

    Not only do I wear Spanx with reckless abandon, I wear a push-up padded bra, too. ShaZAM!

    Spank you on the first date? Only if you reciprocate.

    Oh, it's very hot :devil: :blushing: . Control top hose are as "far" as I'll go when wearing shapewear. I didn't even wear shapewear for my own wedding; that kinda stuff is uncomfortable and unsexy feeling to wear, imo.

    Personally, and I may be the odd man out here, I've never been a fan of makeup.

    I wear spanx tank tops under anything remotely dressy. Dress clothes lay better, my boobs aren't flopping around every where. There's no false advertising there. They aren't wonder workers that make me look twenty lbs lighter. Women are shaped extremely different even when they are the same size and weight. Majority of clothing does not accommodate that. Spanx can help make a dress fit perfectly when it was just slightly off before.

    People should just be naked on first dates.

    I wear shapewear with a fitted dress, but not 'Strangle-Spanx.' Just something to keep the girls and tushie from bouncing around too much. Not false advertising, just making yourself look less like a galumphing pudge-puppy and more like a tall well-bred mastiff. :wink:

    I don't know. Some dresses/shirts are made out of thin material. I'd like a little smoothing. I really don't think they take 20lbs off, just make things sit a little smoother underneath. I'm in pretty decent shape currently and could still us a little smoothing in certain outfits.
