I have a tummy problem. Not a serious one but one that is self induced due to eating things like manicotti with rose sauce for lunch. I have come to the point where I wear the lighter weight Spanx and they keep things tidy. I am very pleased with the way they fit and they aren't as tight as regular Spanx.

I have a pair but I think they mis-sized me. They always roll down and get uncomfortable. I only wear them with formal wear though. My DH and I are out once a month to formal events from Fall to Late Spring, so they come in handy (when they stay on right lol)

I wear a lot of dresses. I am talking cool, light weight, summery dresses and I want to hide the best I can. This is why I bought these. (Plus they were on sale at the time so I was very lucky!)

Only when I get really dressed up... Like to go to a wedding or something. I haven't tried the lighter weight spanx, but the original ones are like giant rubber bands. I save those suckers for special occasions!

I just use them for my hips. I am not overweight, but have a bigger, erm, bottom area.

For a formal event, yes, the suck the life out of ya Spanx get worn. Under dresses at work I wear Jockey Slip Shorts which really don't have much control, but keep everything where it belongs!

I have some that I wear under certain dresses to smooth the bumpy, lumpy areas.

I sometimes do for formal events. Keeps everything nice and smooth under dresses and, of course, makes me look better! I find them too uncomfortable for daily wear.

Aren't they hot? I'm sure they do a good job but can't imagine being swaddled in Spanx under a summer dress.

No, I've never bothered. I'm fat and spanx can only do so much when it's obvious you're fat.

I have the lighter weight ones too. I wear them under dresses. My hips are my issue and they always will be.......

I am wearing them right now and am very cold. If I were out in the sun then maybe not butt I am very comfortable I am not even going to edit this. Thank you AutoCorrect. You are helping my plight to sound educated.

I know my phone decided that it liked two TT rather than just one. There is no correcting on my phone. It is cute though! I didn't mean it to make me sound illiterate.
I still have them on and they are fine.

I have a pair. Wore them once. Very uncomfortable. Felt like I was stuffing 10 puppies into a 5 puppy sack!

Honestly - no, I don't. I have a pair that I bought to wear to a wedding under a dress that I thought needed some smoothing-out, and I was so miserable in them that I took them off halfway through the evening and haven't even considered wearing them since. There's not a pair of underwear in the world that could really smooth out all my lumps and bumps anyways. My lumps and bumps have lumps and bumps of their own. Even when I was trim, I had lumps and bumps. It would seem to me this is how God meant me to be shaped so I am just going to embrace it and go on with life - comfortably

I wear them under dresses and skirts to hold in my tummy that decided it needed to start pooching out after I had my hysterectomy.

I prefer Yummie Tummie. They make some tanks that are more comfortable (IMO) than Spanx.

My gyno said they are a bad idea. I guess they might cause a problem if you wore them every day but I can't see them being a problem for the occasional/special occasion user.

Why would it be a problem with every day user's also? I mean? It's not rearranging internal organs?
I was going to ask, does anyone have any alternatives for spanx? cheaper? and does a good job?

I have bought cheaper ones from Target. Called Assets, I think, they say they are from the makers of Spanx on the tag. They were ok but did not have the same kind of sucking in power as the original Spanx.

I wore spanx when I was thinner now that I've gained weigh again they suffocate me. I have drawers full of them, unfortunately they feel like a torture device at my current weigh. sigh.
