Under garments for smoothing

renb12 · ‎03-31-2010

Hi! I am looking for a pair of shorts/undies that smoothes out my butt/thigh (waist?) area and won't show pantie lines to go under pants/skirts. I love wearing maxi skirts. If it makes a difference I am 5'7" about 125. As I've gotten older I'm not quite as toned and smooth as I used to be. I've heard of Spanx and Skimmies, but wanted to see what you girls thought before I purchase. Thanks for your help!!

You are thin. Probably wouldn't make any difference.

Wear something that comes to your waist and at least below your tush like a boy short or spanx type of garment to make everything nicely smooth. I highly recommend anything that gives you the extra edge of looking fabulous.

Check out Rhonda Shear on HSN. She has some things that should work for you. I really have been very impressed by her things. They smooth & firm while being comfortable. Some pretty things, too.

Jockey has some things that might work for you. Here they are on Q:

Hi renb12, I am about the same size as you.
I like both Skimmies and Spanx, depending on how much control I need.
Skimmies are much more comfortable than Spanx, but I feel fierce in Spanx!
Get them both if you can.

I wear the spanx thigh type shorts that go from the waist down to the knees. I find it gives me support.

Not necessarily true...almost everyone has 'giggle'. I wear assest from Target, made by spanx but a lesser price point. I always but a size larger, I don't want to be uncomfortable and they do a great job of smoothing things out.

edited to add..I have tried the Jockey brand and find they ride up. The assets style that I buy are the longer ones, that way you see no line at the top of the thigh.
