Help with other "shape" wear???
Just had my six week check up and my Doctor said to cut down on the time I am in my binder. Said just when I need it or a couple hours a day. Really wants me to buy "Shape" wear or girdle type undergarments. Spanx? Wondering what everyone else is wearing after their binder is off.
What brands are good and where can I find them?
Thanks for any and all help!
There is a target brand- can't remember the name, but they are pretty comfy too..

Does get costly, but, gotta view it as an investment.

I'm like you and saw some garments at sears for $50 and knew I needed to keep looking!! I don't spend that much on any piece of clothing - mush less undergarments! LOLI found some spanx-like garments at Ross that I wear everyday (5 1/2 weeks out from LBL/BL) for $7.99. I also bought a couple for $14.99 at Target that are actually a little more comfortable.
I bought one of these corsets to keep the extra pressure on during work when the surgical binder would be too uncomfortable

And I bought a couple of pairs of these to wear over the corset (I've had some weird thigh swelling even though they wern't worked on - and the extra compression helps)

But I have to keep several around because the get gunk on them from the open sore areas, and so they get washed frequently.
