I am at a point wear I have some body shape again, curves where the should be. So I can wear a more fitted top, sweater and the like. But my tummy still has some ponch to it. So I like to wear shapewear just to smooth the line and keep the giant muffin top from poking its little head out. I have tried a couple. I ordered a Shapewear powernet braless body from amazon and I so far love it. Keep in mind I have not tried the use the bathroom yet, and let's hope it is not a pressing issue when I finally do. Lol. But the shapewear goes on pretty tight. When I first started putting it on, I was loke oh no way! But it went on and zipped up. I can feel it, but it is not uncomfortable, and it really makes the silouette much smoother under the sweater I am wearing. And my jeans are fitting pretty loose. I am between 16 and 18 in pants. 18 is comfortable and 16 is just this side of snug. Today I wore 18 and they are sliding down some from the waist. Tomorrow I will wear my 16s for a night out on the town and I will be glad to have all the extra contained in with the tighter pant. I think it was around $60, can't remember for sure. It was free shipping, but they will charge for returns through amazon. Size is pretty true.

Oh one complaint, I have a little longer than average torso for a woman, and early on it was pulling down and I was getting a little overflow over the top, but I have been able to pull it up over a few hours and it is not sliding. Down down. Hoping no one at work noticed me hitching up my boobs. Lol. My male officer co workers would just not understand...... :)

Great advice. I was hoping to get this kind of info. When I checked out the different types and companies, it can be a little overwhelming and confusing. Again, thanks for the post.

Spanx has some crotchless shapewear. They come in alllll sizes and the convenience factor during the day is well worth the giggles you get when you first put them on and look in the mirror! lol barenecessities.com has them.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
