So, I have this one, really adorable friend. She has simply got the flattest tummy of any women I know. I am always so envious. Never having to worry that she is 'cup caking' or bulging in her jeans. She's not your paper thin, sickly, waif thin thing either - she is however, very fortunate.
I myself haven't entertained even the thought of a flat tummy for years, and years, and years..... I've done the diet thing, the crunches thing, the aerobics thing - still, a tummy haunts me. So tonight as
I'm reading and eating at the same time, I see this article on 'magic knickers' - yep, tummy control panties. And here we are, 40 minutes later, me searching the internet for the most fabulous deals in 'tamers'.
Amazon Apparel has 'Spanx Power Panties'. They look silly, go way down your legs and way up your midsection. According the reviews, they are ridiculously tight and the waist band is very uncomfortable. They retail in the $25.00 range. I considered these but then decided if I could not breathe or move in them, they would not be much good to me. Besides, they are just plain ugly!
My search continued. Next I found jeans, with built in tummy control. Good Housekeeping Magazine tested a number of pairs and announced the winner to be 'Slim'R Jeans', priced at $80. Cool, I thought. Until I checked out the picture. Ugly again. Would you wear these creepy looking high waisted, outdate things, even if they swear they will take 2" off you mid section. Personally - no way baby!
Back to my search. Maiden Form offers it's version called 'Flexees Shapewear'. Okay, not so ugly, perhaps a bit more comfortable. Depending on the style, prices range from $12.50 - $30.00. I have a question though - if these products are for women with 'issues' why are all the models paper thin? Not to mention, none of them have any bulges, anywhere!
Now, for the end of end all: 'This unique posture control garment aggressively holds you in the right posture while binding the mid-section and maintaining heat that helps burn fat from its revolutionary outer rubber layer, and inner cotton liner, providing total comfort and firm control.' Yes ladies, we are talking about the amazingly silly looking, bind you 'til you can't breath, let alone move 'rubber' garment designed to help you loose your tummy all together. With the 'Rubber Cotton Posture and Tummy Contol Fat Burner' your worries are over. Take a look for yourself and you tell me... is it all worth it?
Once again, it's been a blast. Have a Hot Cherry Day!

I'd recommend that you take another look at Spanx Power Panties. I wear them everyday and I do not find them uncomfortable at all. They are tight and I have to admit that they really are girdles, but they are a kind of soft and flexible tight that gives me the girdle control I want without squeezing me. I have worn real girdles (I'm slim but very pear-shaped) and these are much kinder and gentler and almost, if not quite, as effective.
