Fat suckers?

It's a crutch IMO. Mentally using them makes you think that you don't really need to lose that extra fat.
Haha, never put one on, have you? Trust me, it does anything BUT make you think you don't need to lose the extra fat after spending minutes upon hours attempting to wiggle into one and then adjusting and bathrooms?... forget about it.
I wouldn't wear them everyday to fit into clothes are too small. My clothes fit right, however under skirts and dresses it nice to smooth out some of the lumps. Not to mention, it prevents the dreaded skirt wedgie. :P0 -
hahha:laugh: That's exactly what I've named mine "My Fat Sucker Upper" spanx! I Luv mine for the Winter when it's cold & wearing a thin blouse or shirt to Christmas Parties. It helps while we get to our goal weight & not to mention it keeps you warm. I have a longer "shirt spanx" to keep it tucked into my jeans & helps the muffin top only. I haven't bought the extra duty ones you see at the Mall although they say those are good for ladies who've just given birth. Wish those were around 20 years ago. It does give my an boost of Confidence. I feel like I'm being Hugged & believe me I need that every time I go to the In-Laws:noway:0

i beg to disagree. i have been using spanx and other "foundation" garments for years. the process of getting into them (and out) ALWAYS makes me think i need to lose weight! i like the smoothing effect. and to tell the truth sometimes going up a size in clothing is not the solution. many times, at least for me, an outfit will fit almost perfectly everywhere except my stomach. with a shaper i'm able to smooth that part out and have everything else be in proportion.0

Your a man. Why are you commenting on women's foundation garments? I realize that yes they do make Spanx for men, but this is a ladies discussion. Spanx aren't noramlly used for everyday use, they are a special occasion item for that extra smoothness under clothing. A lot of celebrities wear them on the red carpet to make their clothes look better. Please stop telling us we think we are fat for wearing them.0 -

Maybe he took home a girl wearing a Spanx and when he wrapped the package... haha0 -
I have one. I don't use it every day, or even once a month. But I do use it from time to time. It's not my favorite thing in the world, but I do notice a difference when I have it on. I just look trimmer with it. Of course, my goal is to never need one :flowerforyou:0

Dresses that cling look better with good foundation garments. They always have, regardless of size. It reduces jiggle and bumps. I'm not talking about clothes that are too tight, just knit garments that hug curves. I wear one with certain dresses when I'm going out, otherwise I schlep around in jeans and tees.0

My Mom and I call them "gut suckers" and I absolutely hate them. They are hot, itchy and make me feel like a sausage. My Mom however LOVES them. To each their own I guess. I have a lot more fun just buying clothes that are flattering to my shape. It takes longer and is more expensive sometimes and when you lose weight or shift weight they don't look the same anymore but I'm telling you I MUCH rather be comfortable. They also give me worse back fat. I rather have a roll on my tummy than 3 rows of back boobs from ill fitting clothes lol
I even wore my birthday suit under my wedding dress!!0 -

Who would like to see ninerbuff wear a pair of Spanx to his next big event ... under a tuxedo maybe ... in August ... in the tropics ... AFTER giving birth ... with the caveat that he must disrobe to urinate.
hahahahahaha.0 -
LOL
If its a cheat who cares! You can't hide your true self... bathing suit or nekked; so you wear one that fits under a dress to look less lumpy? It will not make you think your are "skinny" LMAO I have had occasions where they were useful but I certainly do not wear them often at all.
Spanx are the uber popular ones and most department stores have a section dedicated to them.0
