Spanx, control pants scafolding underwear

Those are pretty. Much less hideous than spanx.

I did worry that if you were out and about this Christmas and were on a promise, you wouldnt really want to have to run off to the bathroom to remove the control pants.

I once wore control pants to a do and got a very surprised face when this bloke I'd fancied for ages had a grope of my bum. :o

I've not worn them since :D

LOL :D :D

I don't mind, honest! :eek:


But I do still want to know where the fat goes!
Nah, I was just messing with The Mads! You can have as much anus as you like.

I think the fat just get 'held in!' Lorraine Kelly just did a segment and had miraclesuits from figleaves and they looked ok. The models were tiny though.
 
Apparently 80% of women have some kind of control underwear (I'm assuming they mean in the UK).

This surprises me. :confused:

Oddly enough, when I was a size 12 I used to wear control pants, now I'm an 18 I just prefer to let it all hang out.
 
Good lord, if I had control pants strong enough to make much of a difference to my hips and arse I don't think I'd be able to walk, or sit, or breathe. :eek:

i've seen control tights that claim to flatten your tummy and lift your bum
is it wrong to want them?

No, but it's wrong to think that they will do anything other than create a rubber ring style fat deposit above the tights.
 
Do they do a toe-length one with sleeves?

The M & S one looks a bit more presentable than the cling-wrap Spanx!
 
Rago foundation wear
beats spanx hands down

:cool:

LLB, how do the prices stack up though?

I did look a the links you posted, but can you walk in the longer style of girdle?!
Ive just sniggered and said 'girdle' out loud!

Of course you can walk in them. For really long ones you have to wiggle, a la Monroe in the 7 year itch.

:cool:

In the UK I think you'll pay £25 - £40 depending on the design you choose for a rago foundation. Obviously an authentic vintage silk 1940s whalebone OBG - (open bottom girdle) will cost a LOT more. You can pick up beautiful salmon pink NOS (new old stock / deadstock) 1950s OBGs for £20 - £30 at Camden or spitalfields market.

The ones in the picture are from what katie did. They have a B&M shop in portobello rd so you can go in person and try stuff on before buying, which is the best way :)

You can usually get them for much less from the US, but it might be best to buy from the UK initially in case they don't fit as you can return under the DDR. One you know your size you can then buy stateside
