I'm sure many of you have heard of SPANX. And, like me, you probably associate the brand with tummy-tightening tights -- and that's true. But SPANX is also so much more...
SPANX is all about shapewear. From slimming camis to smoothing panties and no-show bras, they've got everything a girl could want to make her feel and look her best.
I was lucky enough to try out several of these products, and I have to tell you: the SPANX Bra-llelujah! bra was my absolute favorite, and this means a lot coming from me. You see, up until now, I've had an exclusive relationship with and been very faithful to Victoria's Secret, thinking I'd never find anything better… until the Bra-llelujah! Underwire Contour Front-Closure Bra ($62 in stores and online) came along.
This is the most comfortable, supportive bra I own right now. The reason it's so great is that it has unique naturally adjusting straps (no need to play with strap length or worry about them coming loose through the day!) and an amazing unique fabric that is literally like a second skin -- it hugs without squeezing to totally minimize the whole back-fat situation! I wear this bra with absolutely everything, and it's so sleek, you can't even see it's there!
The other great product I thought was the Hide & Sleek Wide Lace Shaping Panty ($42; black ivory, white). These pretty panties combine the femininity of luxurious Italian lace over a light compression fabric to smooth and slim your tummy, backside and hips. They sit a little higher than regular panties, so they also help eliminate the dreaded "muffin top" -- all while making you feel like you're wearing sexy lingerie and not chunky, boring shapewear!
A couple other products we tried and loved from SPANX were their Hide & Sleek Adjustable Strap Cami ($44; compression around the tummy and a built-in bra make it perfect for layering), and Higher Power ($36; super shaping, these start right under your bust and smooth all the way down your thighs -- no panty lines!).
Plus, SPANX now has a new line of products, ASSETS, that are about half the price and available at Target. Check out the ASSETS Sensational Shaper (a high-waisted mid-thigh shaper -- $20) and ASSETS Unbelievable Underwear (another mid-thigh shaper that firms the tummy, hips, thighs and rear -- $15)!
