Review: Spanx

I have to be honest, ladies, all these Easter eggs that have been consumed in the past few days are beginning to take their toll on my waistline. So when an email popped into my inbox from Tights Please offering to send me some Spanx to try, I couldn’t help but say yes please.


Of course, I don’t know about you, but the minute anyone mentions Shapewear, Bridget Jones’s Diary always comes to mind:



“…these are, f*** me, absolutely enormous panties” (Daniel Cleaver, Bridget Jones’s Diary)




I have tried various so-called control pants and have never been completely happy with the results. Either I feel sick all day as I can barely breathe or they rub horribly or whilst removing one lump or bump they create further lumps and bumps!


However, these Magic Knickers are so much better than the others: they are higher in the stomach and longer in the leg which means no unsightly lumps or bumps in unexpected places just a slim and sleek silhouette. These will certainly be my go-to for when I want to slip into an LBD for date night.


Do you wear Shapewear? Have you tried any other brands? How do you keep a sleek silhouette when slipping into an LBD?
