Spanx help!

[GrayMatterWife]

I wanted to throw out there that I really admire your willingness to get all trussed-up in a spandex girdle to look good for the wedding. I would have just bought some unflattering loose-fitting clothes! Good for you! Hope you look and feel great! (And don't have to pee much...!)

Key bit of info about the Spanx- they have pee holes.

Yep- just hold those puppies open (it does require a bit of dexterity but well worth it to not have to deal with the restuff when you're all hot and sweaty) and pee. You can't really wipe but you can do a darn good job dabbing.

and don't have any food with laxative effects that day because then you're going to have to peel and restuff.

PS- this is a public service announcement brought to you by lots of gin and tonics at my cousin's wedding.

I didn't do such a great job at Amy's rehearsal dinner and I peed all over myself. Took them off and threw them away! Fortunately the dinner was almost over. The next day at the wedding I pulled them down and almost lost my footing and broke my neck trying to get them back up!

I love you guys.

Wow! Then go for Spanx. The "generic brand" Assets that I had didn't have a pee hole.

Wow. I've never had trouble using the bathroom with Spanx. I even used wear them all day at the office.

I didn't have any problems going to the bathroom in the Wacoal. It took a may be a few seconds more to pull them up/down than regular underwear. I usually have to go a lot, so that was a consideration when I was trying everything on in the store.

I love you guys.

Ditto!

And the fact that I've met both Luanne and Jenn and can have a pretty complete mental image of both scenarios makes it even more amusing!

Nellie - I know you've met Jenn (obviously), but have you met Luanne, too? I can't remember.

Yes, in Seattle almost 5 yrs ago (??).

I didn't fear for life or limb but would not count Spanx in the bathroom among my favoritest things.

Here is a pic of the dress the Spanx will be going under:

I love the dress!!!!!

[Chrisada]

Thanks! I needed a dress that would cover up the gigantic lactating girls. I mean they are enormous! I love Overstock. I have bought so many dresses from them. The selection is unbelievable.

[Vishenka69]

Gorgeous dress! I'm jealous that you can order stuff like that without trying it on first.

[scrub-jay]

Amazing! I love it!

I'm glad you all like it! How about DH is going with me to the mall tomorrow to find a girdle. That should be interesting. And the trick to ordering dresses online is to get something that has some stretch in it!
