Sucking in post partum belly?
I am a bridesmaid in a wedding next month and while I don't have a huge belly, there's still some fat bulges in the dress  What do you girls recommend for sucking it all in?

Did you try a pair of Spanx. I was a BM about 6 weeks after I gave birth to DD and they were a life-saver at smoothing everything out.

Re: Sucking in post partum belly?
I used spanx after DS for an event I had to go to, and they worked so great... but I felt so uncomfortable. I recently found a great similar item on zulily.com, that are WAY more comfortable... I don't remember the brand! I will have to check when I get home from work tonight and repost for you! (after smothering DS with kisses of course!)

Hanes has a pair of "spanx" I got them at Kohl's. They are stretchier and more comfy for me than Spanx. Bu they do the trick

I use Assets from Target - essentially Spanx but cheaper. Worked well for smoothing everything out too and I still felt like I could breathe!

Haven't tried spanx but of course know about them. Was seeing if there was anything else out there along the same lines. Something on the cheaper side. This wedding is already costing me an arm n leg

Re: Sucking in post partum belly?
Definitely head over to Target - Target makes their own brand of "Spanx" and so does Hanes like the other posters have stated. In a pinch, I've actually just used control top panty hose - I snip off the legs.

I bought a body shaper from VS, a thong! I thought it worked pretty well

Re: Sucking in post partum belly?
ok, I checked last night - the brand name of the spanx type item I got from zulily was 'wacoal'... I got it for $15 b/c it was on zulily so on a great sale, but I LOVE it, totally more comfortable, worked great, and I even wear it to work sometimes.

I got mine either at Kohls or Walmart. They aren't the name brand spanx, but they are very similar and definitely help hide the bulge and smooth everything out!

the best thing that you can do for your PP body get a strapless, long line bra!
