Help a Newbie Out

What type o shapewear do you use?  Where can I buy some?

I swear by Spanx...did so before surgery and still do now to combat the lovely excess skin.

I have found them at departments stores (Lord and Taylor for one) and some lingerie shops...but they also have a website.

I use the "high power" ones for most occassions...which go from right under your boobs all the way down into pantyhose...covers EVERYTHING.  But they have a whole lot of different styles.  They can be a little pricey.

You can also find them at Tj Maxx and Marshalls. Might not be the Spanx name but they do the same thing and don"t cost as much.

For heavy-duty shaping, I like Spanx.  BUT... i'm LOVING my "flexees"  fat-free dressing slimming tank for everyday wear!  They're basically a shaping camisole (found them at Costco)  and can be worn by themselves or under a shirt.  Amazingly comfy, wash really well, very durable.  Here's a page from Macy's with a pic

Apparently they have a bunch of other styles as well, and given the performance of the ones I have, I'll be trying them.

I buy Dr. Rey's at Sears and love them. They usually have some deals on them.  I didn't care for Spanx, and last year at an OH conference a woman who works for What Not To Wear got up & said they use Dr. Rey's on that show and that's what she used.  They also sell them on HSN but I've never bought them from them.
