1. Flexees Comfort Controlwear Instant Slimmer Long Torso Waist Nipper
From Regina in Found my perfect girdle
"...literally takes inches off your waist. It holds in the loose flab that some women (like me) normally have hanging out. The result is a very convincing hour-glass figure."
2. Sassybax shapewear
From Lisa in Sassybax shapewear
"I love this brand of shapewear for how well-constructed it is and how it works with the curves and bulges of my body. The Sassybax Torso Trim lives up to its name -- really. And now the line has added a new Slimming Slip, Leggings and Long Leg Panty shaper with cups across the back to shape a gal's buttocks."
3. Bra-llelujah bra by Spanx
From Peg in Finding a comfortable bra
"I tried one on in the store and couldn't believe it! It was like wearing nothing - and yet I had support."
4. Bali Barely There
From Melissa Thompson in Still looking for the perfect panties
"Please try Bali Barely There. They are soft, have no side or crotch seems and come in a number of styles, full, bikini, etc."
5. Jockey No Panty Line Promise
From Cathy Fischer in Still looking for the perfect panties
"They come in lots of colors and different styles, from bikini to brief. They go on sale in dept. stores at least twice a year, that's when I stock up."
6. Spanx
From Sherrie Mathieson in Still looking for the perfect panties
"Go to Spanx.com where you may find a good solution that's not a thong."

From Lois Joy Johnson in Still looking for the perfect panties
"Forget about panties or thongs and just wear Spanx like everyone else!"

From JoJami in Finding a comfortable bra
"Just bought a Spanx bra and it is wonderful!"

Why oh why doesn't Spanx make anything for fuller figured women? I just got all excited about the Spanx bra and went to Amazon. The largest was 36C.  Well forget that.  This full figured lady would love to have underwear that does for me what Spanx does for regular figured women.

I'm with you! I was excited, too, until I read your comment. Hello, people! I'd guess the percentage of fuller figure women over 50 is fairly high. C'mon. Get with the program. LOL

I just now went to the lypo in a box website and ordered a couple of items. This past year I have started to notice bulges and bumps that were never there before and I hope these undergarments will help in smoothing them away. I work in the office of a mining company and dress is very casual usually jeans and sweaters or tees but at my age and with all these little bulges, I feel really dowdy. Maybe its just my own self image because my family tells me I am not fat..but when I look in the mirror I see the rolls.

I will post again once I receive my items and let you all know the results.

Over the past few years I have noticed the same thing. Last year when I was hit with thyroid disease ON TOP of menopause...I was not happy at all! Especially since I have always been on the small side. I needed to do something quickly (1st and most importantly, to get me health back) but also because I am a professional model (WAS a size 6) who started a modeling career at the age of 40. With my body changing the way it was, my bookings were starting to be affected and so was my income. I needed help in getting my waist back AND reducing but noting seemed to help UNTIL I found the Body Magic by Ardyss International (www.ardyss.com). It helped me look great IMMEDIATELY upon putting it on, and helped me get back down from 10's goiing into 12's to some 6's and 8's. I am more comfortable at the size I am used to, and I am happy at  a size 8. If I want to go back down to a size 6, I will buy the next smaller size garment. If you are interested, I'll tell you more about what helped me and so many others who were sizes 18. I was so impressed I joined the company as one of their network marketers.
