There is two tricks you can do to make yourself look thinner for that special occasion coming up soon.

Spanx Panties

There is a secret to looking 10 pounds skinnier in a hurry.  There are times when you are about to go to a special occasion and you might not be as “in shape” as you would like.  You’ve put on weight and it will be obvious but …you don’t want anyone to know just HOW MUCH weight you have put on.

Have no fear.  Follow these two simple tips and you will be off the hook.  At least momentarily.

First, go tanning.  Tanned people always look more thin.   Don’t ask me why they just do.  Go to a Hex Tan and stay in there for ten to fifteen minutes.  Do this at least every other day before your event.

Second, they are called waist shaper panties, panty shapers, body shaper,  but they are most commonly referred to as SPANX.  They are a very modern version of the corset, and trust me, SPANX has helped more woman around the country appear 10 pounds lighter than people think.  You can find them at Victoria Secret, Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, or many places online. The camis are fantastic for love handles or uneven tummy’s. They even make SPANX in shorts if you need to make your legs seem thinner. These products are great and has helped many people get through important events they HAD to look good in.  If you are more than a little overweight then the results won’t be as good, but if you have just picked up a few pounds then these items can be a life saver.

Full Body Spanx Panties

One friend I knew bought a complete body set for her wedding last fall and she looked amazing. The Lycra content is what will hold you in so well.

On a side note Victoria’s Secret makes one to fit under a swimsuit as well.  You can also purchase SPANX panty hose, but one drawback, like most pantyhose, they are very easy to tear and are pricey.

After then event I recommend going to the gym and getting yourself back in shape.  But in this hectic world there will always be times when we let our self go a little bit and need a little extra help in hiding it for a while.
