Everyone who knows us knows that we love Spanx. LOVE! I have no delusions that I look super thin or hungry while wearing my Spanx BUT I do know that it sort of smooths things out and keeps it from jiggling around (and some days that is a powerful feeling).
Now for those of you that have never enjoyed a Spanx…let me fill you in. They are a truly wonderful wonderful thing BUT they can be a little difficult to get ummm situated. The one I most commonly wear starts just above the knee and goes all the way up to my bra.
The brilliance of this particular Spanx is the pee hole. There is actually an open gusseted crotch so that you do not have to pull the Spanx down to pee. Genius. This is especially important if, like me, you usually have to find someone to pull the Spanx up to where it should be (thanks Sarah!) in the back. (Hello, I do not have go go gadget arms!)
If you shop through the Spanx website…it would seem that they have thought of everything. They have panties, shapers, bras, slips, hosiery and now bathing suits. BUT I realized today that Spanx has missed the boat! The people who have single handedly revolutionized the bodyshaping word forgot about MEN!
Now this could be for several reasons. I have a few theories of you are interested…
