I wore some for a wedding I was in not long ago when I had to wear a dress that 'fit' a little more snuggly than my everyday clothes. They were expensive....$50 or so I think, but did the trick wonderfully....smoothed and sleeked so that there were no unwanted 'areas'

when my gal's big day rolled around. I actually think all we bridesmaids has some and you really could NOT tell. Well worth the $$ in my opinion.

I bought a pair of the ones that are supposed to be like leggings. I wanted them to wear as Leggings under some longish tops and with boots. They are NOT anything like leggings; they're more like slightly heavier than regular pantyhose, AND they've got the pantyline like pantyhose do. I was extremely disappointed b/c there's no way I can wear them; if I were leaning over and my top pulled up. it would be just like if I were wearing pantyhose with nothing underneath them. And I ran all over town looking for them too, along with them costing about 10 times what a pair of pantyhose would cost (which I never wear either)

Well now you have an excuse to buy a pair of super tight jeans.

I have Spanx and LOVE them. I am "skinny" BUT after two kids, there are definitely areas that need some tightening. I wear mine whenever I wear clingy or fitted dresses and skirts. Makes an AMAZING difference in my figure! As for them being too tight..... well, sure, if you get too small of a size. You wouldn't wear a size A pantyhose if you're weight/height says you should wear a size C, would you?? All you really want to do with the Spanx is smooth out the lumps and rolls, not cut off your circulation.

I got mine at Nordstrom's (only because I was there with a friend and she said I had to try them) but I've seen much better prices on Ebay. Not sure what other Dept. stores carry them. I'm not sure about losing "two dress sizes" but they surely do help fix the imperfections so that you don't look "lumpy"! I recommend them to all my girlfriends and recently told my boss about them for her son's wedding and she's hooked now!

As for wearing them with jeans...... I'm not sure how well that would work. It would work better if the material of the Spanx was more "silky" but it's not so I'm not sure how well jeans would slide over them. I've never tried it so I might be wrong. The only things I've worn them with were dresses and skirts made with silkier materials. I don't think they'd work real well right up against a material like knit or something either unless you wear a slip also. Then again, I could be wrong.
