SPANX

The bold mission of SPANX: to make the world a better place, one butt at a time. For founder Sara Blakely, it all started in 2000 with a bad case of VPL: visible panty lines. She cut the feet off her control-top pantyhose, and a shapewear empire was born. Today these undergarments are wardrobe staples for women and men who trust SPANX to slim their silhouettes and boost their confidence.

Surprise!

I've never worn a shaper before or with any of my other pregnancies. In my 3rd pregnancy, everything is going much faster and at 5 months my back has been hurting when I do too much during the day. A friend recommended these, but I was skeptical. Ordered one to "try" and I LOVE it! Not being used to anything other than bikini or thong low rise panties, this takes some getting used to and I was worried about the "compression" being too tight. But as soon as I put this on, my back felt immediately better, and my legs and bump felt supported yet surprisingly comfortable. I'm not sure I'll wear this under pants (that might take too much getting used to for me) but will definitely wear it under dresses and could even see myself wearing it to bed under my jammies! If you aren't sure about this, like I was, go for it. No regrets here!

Way to Tight!

I'm 6 months pregnant, 5 ft, 131lbs and the Size C was sooooo tight on my legs! I couldn't even pull these up. The motherhood maternity brand are much better. I just needed something to smooth me out.

Almost Perfect

I have been wearing the Higher Power Spanx for years. Love them and the way they shape me, especially the tummy area that I have always had. I have also always loved the cotton double gusset that opens between the legs. . . and anyone who has used them knows, once the Higher Powers are on, it is not easy to pull up and down just to use the bathroom. Especially in a dress or formal attire. With that said, I do love the Power Mama's, and they will work beautifully during my pregnancy. The only thing that misses the mark is there is no double gusset that opens. Which I believe is very necessary when pregnant and having to go to the bathroom every 20-30 minutes. It will be very difficult to be pulling them up and down over a real "tummy."

Not a fan- better options out there

These were "okay" but I found another pair I love so much more at Destination Maternity called "Thigh Disguise". The Spanx brand seemed more flimsey and didn't provide as much support or shaping at the other brand. The stomach in this one is more like hose and I kept feeling like I was going to pull a hole in it.

These were more comfortable than I thought they would be after my experience with the non-maternity Spanx. They had a nice smoothing effect under a slinky jersey dress. My only complaint is that I wish they had loops to connect to a bra to prevent the top from slipping down. Although I could have fit into the B size, I was glad I ordered the C size.

Would buy it again.

I am 6 months pregnant and carry like I'm smuggling basketballs under my shirt. I also have a residual umbilical hernia from my first child. As such, I have an uncomfortably prominent belly button. I am going to be in a wedding when I am 7 months pregnant and hate how my belly button looks in the bridesmaids dress. I got these to help smooth it out and while it wasn't completely flat like I had hoped it certainly made a huge difference. It's not too tight (I am normally 5'7" and 150 lbs pre-preg). I got a size C and probably could have afforded a size down. It feels breathable enough for a September wedding and I'm so glad I bought this.

Nice fit

Was hesitant to purchase but glad I did! Fits really well and hides bumps. I'm 5'1", 5 months pregnant, 142 lbs and I bought size B.
