Spanx = Self Cruelty

[Annah]

I bought some spanx...from under breast to my hips.

Good news...I just dropped 2 dress sizes and it accentuates my hips.
Bad news.....It feels like it takes an hour to put it on and when its on I feel like I am being slowly crushed to death by a spandex equivalent to some medieval crushing device.

Walk it off!

[Annah]

oh I walk. I walk everywhere....not as much as Forrest Gump...but close enough

Maybe with a little time, it'll get easier on you. I haven't worn anything that tight other than a corset for a while and that wasn't so bad.

Have you ever seen how a corset moves around your internal organs to work? I say you shouldnt of ever taken that risk.

I saw those on tv they sure like uncomfortable.

HEAT!  That's what I can't stand from these things.

I've not used spanx yet.  What I have used does losen over wears.  Then they get holes.

Ahh. The price of beauty.

lol yes yes

[Annah]

the sales guy took the Cami spanx out of the wrapper for me to try on.

I said, "What the heck is this? It looks like a sleeve glove."

He said, "it will expand."

One hour later in the fitting room, I realized...yeah...I guess lol.

...medieval crushing device.

Quoth women all over the world. 

[Carlita]

Well, the woman who created Spanx became a billionaire, so I guess that crushing has to be worth it!

Okay, I might get some heat for this, but I have to say that if you don't like it, either stop wearing it or stop complaining: that's what I did with underwear  . No one is putting a gun to your head telling you that he or she will shoot you in the face if you don't use Spanx.

[Shawn Sunshine]

so is spanx worse than a corset?

No, but it's still not comfortable.

Ok slow down. I think Annah was posting for fun and gossip.

I assumed as such. Still, I'd just ditch it if it's really uncomfortable and actually takes an hour to put on.

Meh.  Suck it up Annah!  I started wearing corsets last August, and I've managed to "crush" my waist from a fluffy 35 inches to a lean, mean 27 inches in 6 months.  Two more inches to go, and then maybe I'll stop wrenching on the laces so brutally.  In the mean time, well, let's just say that breathing is overrated.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

No pain, no gain!
