Shapewear

What do you use? I bought a Dr. Rey Shapewear yesterday and it seems as though it made me bigger in all the wrong places.  I couldn't even button up my dress pants.  Granted I am still a bit swollen from my PS surgery. 

Your input is most appreciated.

Blessings,

 Hi Nina,

It depends on what you are looking for.    Are you looking for a shapewear to really "hold" everything in or are you looking for something to smooth you out.    LOL  I have found out that shapewear is NOT all the same.  LOL    I have camis that are shapewear that I wear on a daily basis but then I have some "heavy duty" ones that I wear when I want to feel better about myself and have my skin held tighter.     I wear "control it" from Kohls......I have the panty with high waist ( comes up under your bra ) and also the camis.   They are very good and hold you pretty tight but I don't wear them on a daily basis.    I have a couple of Flexee camis that I wear daily.   They don't really hold me in much but smooth me out.     Hope this helps.   You can PM me if you want to know anything else.   I just bought 2 different "Squeems" off Ebay that I was told about at last years OH Conference.     Haven't tried them yet due to my recent hernia surgery....can't wear shapewear at the moment at all.    When I was fresh from my LBL I wore the wrap around waist cinchers with the hook and eyes.    I bought the ones from Walmart and they seemed to be just as good as any others.     Good luck to you sweetie.   I know it is tough when the shapewear "re- arranges" or excess skin.    Take care.

I'm cheap and found some great cami's at Walmart for $15.
They don't smoosh the boobs, they suck in and smooth out the tummy, and then have a small bit around the bottom that is good for tucking in.
I've enjoyed them and I use them for sucking in and as a cami for shirts that fall too low. I also use them to work out in since they hold so well.

I was thinking about going to the dinner on the 21st....will your son be going with y'all?

Yes he will be there.

Yay, okay...maybe I'll try even harder to go then  :-)
Hugs!!

Nina- for day to day I use Flexies brand. I usually go to Khols but I've seen them at JCPenny's and once I saw a few at Ross but that was a while back. Khols generally has a sale on them.
For really good shapewear and if I really want to look thin, I wear LipoExpress http://www.lipoexpress.com/catalog/index.php

expensive-yes, but its REALLY good. Liz is the one that showed it to me and once I saw how good it worked for her, I ordered mine that day.

Good luck!
