Everyone Can Benefit From Spanx Underwear
There's a Spanx product for every problem area, and women of every body type can benefit from body-shapers that cinch in their waists, smooth their thighs, and perk up breasts. Clothes are more flattering when they hang right, and good foundation garments are the smart woman's secret to looking her best in clothes.
Spanx makes four primary types of garments: body shapers, bras & panties, shaping sheers & tights, and slimming swimsuits. For the most part, Spanx undergarments aren't meant to be seen - they're not very sexy on their own. Spanx are available in a limited, utilitarian color range of nude (pale peach), black, and white. The "Slim Britches" collection, available in 11 colors like "grape," "hot pink," and "water jade," is the only exception.
The body shapers are the heavy hitters. Including bodysuits that stretch from shoulder to knee, thigh-shapers that resemble super-tight bicycle shorts, camisoles and slips, the body shapers are intended to compress bulges and prevent cling.
The bra line sports the fun, playful name "Bra-llelujah." There are styles with or without padding, as well as racerback, front-closure, and no-underwire options. The Spanx bras are designed to shape and lift, without creating unsightly bra-lines along the shoulders, back, or around the armpits.
Spanx sheers and tights are like an amped-up versions of "control-top" pantyhose, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Whether or not the tights are sheer, opaque, patterned or fishnet from mid-thigh to waist, they feature full-coverage, slimming support.
The swimsuits, like the foundation garments, are designed to flatter. Most are one pieces, and some feature details - like ruffles and attached skirts - that provide added modesty. Strong bold pinks and teals are mixed with a healthy dose of basic black.
Prices tend to be high - tights range from $20-$40 each, camis $40-$80, and the top-end bodysuit costs $98. The swimsuits all cost between $170-$200. But the quality is high, too. Spanx can't perform miracles, but there's a reason even Hollywood stars with personal trainers at their beck and call swear by them. They work.
