I was watching an awards show on TV recently where all the women stars looked so slim and glamorous. It’s hard to associate with their perfection. Do they actually eat when they are not working out all the time? And then I was reminded of the fact that these people get a lot of help in terms of plastic surgery, personal trainers and personal chefs to keep them looking waif thin. And if all else fails, there’s always slimming Spanx underwear.
If there’s one name that wasn’t mentioned when the stars were boasting what fashion houses they were wearing, it would be Spanx. In fact, the creator of the shapewear undergarment, Sara Blakely should be heralded for shaping women’s bodies to such great effect. The truth is, a woman’s body shouldn’t be stick thin. After all, she is a woman and women should have curves in the right places. Spanx achieves this by flattening areas where women’s problem spots are while supporting areas that should be highlighted. Spanx undergarments smooth out body parts to allow the outer garments to glide smoothly over the body. With a wide range of products that target the legs, thighs, and butt area, there will be no more unsightly bulges not to mention visible panty lines.
Because Sara Blakely designed underwear for all types of women in mind, she very wisely included a line of Spanx maternity underwear for pregnant women as well. Just because a woman is pregnant, it doesn’t mean she wants to leave bits of herself jiggling for the full nine months. The maternity underwear has the right balance of support for the belly and back while firming up the buttocks and thighs.
So the next time you watch an awards show, keep in mind that they are all wearing some form of Spanx underneath their gowns. Even the pregnant ones as well!
