in Motivation and Support
I definitely need support! It’s just not an emotional need. I need to know what type of support wear people are using. I have, over 5 years, lost over 100lbs and now there is a lot of extra skin. So, my skin is causing my clothing to look awful and that is effecting how I feel about my body. I have used spanx, but I’m wondering if anyone has other options.

    I'm layered up like an onion, I swear. I use one of those longline panties that go up to your armpits (ok not quite, but under the boobs) and a torsolette that goes down tho the gut so that my formerly size 30/32 or 30W size bod can squeeze happily into my size 8 or (vanity) sized 6 stuff without a muffin top. Spanx just don't give the iron girdle compression effect that I need. I do like the shapewear brand and some of the "high strength" stuff from Wal-Mart of all places. Congrats on your 100+ lb loss!!!!

    Good for you!!! Agree with @brookielaw on the Walmart stuff. It is surprisingly good.

    I just checked, the brand is Cupid and it's the extra firm kind.

    I think spanx is the best! I love my spanx. I think you get what you pay for with shapewear and if its cheap then its poorer quality and doesn't last as long in terms of being effective in sucking my fat it lmao. So I just have a few and view them as investments =)
