i ordered this from barenecessities.com:


Strapless Bra Slip by the body wrap, 25% lycra $35


i took it out of the package and wasn't sure if it was a mistake -- it was about 8 inches wide.  it came with a whole instruction sheet detailing how to put it on.  it was nearly impossible to get on.  i was writhing and jumping around, trying just to pull the thing up past my knees, but i finally got it up all the way and it definately was slimming.  it held my stomach in quite a bit.  the cups were very supportive, but the top band was so tight and squeezed me so much that it created lots of that unflattering underarm flab (which i already have a little of and i don't need any more, thanks).  kind of  a bandeau bra nightmare.


so i'm returning it, since i'm planning on wearing it with a strapless dress, it's way too tight around the top.  i'm going to try on the spanx one today, and i'm thinking that since it doesn't have cups or a shelf bra in it, i may be able to just wear it down below my bust.

That just looks like some kind of torture device! Id have stuff bulging all over as well- hope you find something comfortable- because this would make for a very uncomfortable day!!

If you are going to wear it below your bust, get the power panties, they are much more comfortable to me versus a skirt that can ride up. Just my

I pull them up basically to under my bra. There are another one that is called high power panties or something and I hated those. Nothing has compared to the power panties in my book.

I thought that the power panties had more suction than the higher power panty, also the higher one has a cut out to pee, that freaks me out. The higher one also has a different band up top that I found folded down more and was uncomfortable. The power panties were her first invention and I think that all the others have not compared.

I really like body shaper bras. They help with the whole back fat issues and give you a lot of support, especially for us well-endowed ladies.
