Re: what's better than spanx?!
I have one that is Vedette brand and its amazing. Its very heavy duty, its like very thick spanx, but it flattens everything out.
I would suggest you try double up spanx, like get a pantyhose and a corset thing, if that's not cutting it, I guarantee this will.

ETA: I'm going to spend more on my girdle than on the dress! LOL

Flexees - they sell them at maiden form. They have great ones that you wear as like a slip under your dress and it slims you

I like the idea of this, but how long can you wear this before it starts to really be uncomfortable?

I don't have that exact one, but I wear mine for weddings. I couldn't wear it to work, but it is fine for a wedding even if it is a long day.

seriously.... so unnecessary. Just a note on tact, you can still be skinny and have a pooch.
I think the ladies gave some great suggestions. I wear spanx but agree it doesn't always do the job. I'm sure you will look great.

I guess I'm the only one who thought this was hysterical, since being skinny is def much better than having to wear spanx

LOL I was a little taken aback at first, thinking "wow, that's ballsy!" but I don't THINK you were trying to insult my weight. I agree being skinny is better than wearing spanx, but since I can't make that happen over night...what's the next best thing?! Thanks for all the suggestions I can't wait to take my SKINNY azz self and my pooch to buy a girdle

I think this is where emoticons are called for... or even might have worked.
