I had a baby 6 weeks ago and I am using one from Brazil, everyone say I look like I didn't have a baby. If you need one let me know. I live in Richmond, Tx.

Ardyss Body Magic. Its amazing it flattens your stomach, your hips, your thighs, you'll sit up straighter. It pretty much puts everything back where its suppose to be. And hides all your back rolls. I love love love this body reshaper

I too have been fighting the battle of the tummy. I have 3 children and could never lose it between them but I tried something after my last baby who I had 7 months ago. I have lost 38lbs and 13 inches. It is called P90X. It is workouts on DVD that you do at home and it also has healthy eating tips and recipes and such. Check it out: www.beachbodycoach.com/drwilliams
It has been amazing for me and my husband who has also lost lots of weight and inches.

I bought a spanks shapewear it was nice control with out killing u. They also have a infomercial now about losing several sizes and its a awesome looking girtle that comes up to ur bra line and women with rolls looked about 4 sizes smaller and when they measured them it was unbelieveable. Try HSN on line and try body shapewear, also Dr. Rey on HSN has some things.

OMG!!!! You have to buy this body-shaper by Maidenform, with the name of Luleh. Look for it on line, as I think Macy's doesn't carry it anymore. It is amazing if you have larger breast go with a medium or large. The sizing instructions are great. It will hold you in and give you the shape you need. The material is awesome, you will not cook in it. Good luck to You.

I don't know what your size is, but Lane Bryant carries several. I have fallen in love with Spanx, but I warn you to try them on. I bought two without trying them on and they were SOO different. One didn't hold me in any better then panties, and the other was AWESOME! Lane Bryant carries another brand as well, so if you are at least size 12-14 like I am, I would start there.

Bali lace body shaper - one piece - it's cool for summer, it pulls everything up and keeps it in. Very comfortable. You can find them on line, or at the outlet malls. Walmart has a cheaper version, not lace, but it too works well.

I like Spanx, too. I saved some money by getting them off ebay (they were new).

Hi J.,
THE Best body shaper is a Spanx. They are pricey, but last longer if you take care to wash by hand and air dry--dryer weakens the elastic. Smooths out belly and rolls. Makes pants look smooth, too. You might think anything that tight would be uncomfortable, but it just holds everything nicely. There is special control for problem areas. HTH

I have been wearing a body shaper by Ardyss. It is great. It pulls everything into the right place. You definitely need to be measured to wear it. Call Fran (my distributer) at ###-###-#### for a fitting.

Spanx are great BUT if your only problem area is your lower abdomen, your "gut", I once used a body shaper I got at Dillards. It looked like a giant pair of panties but the area over my abdomen clasped up like a corset. Really strong and very tight but comfortable enough to wear.

If you are really interested, email me back and I'll dig it out of storage to find you the brand but the salespeople at Dillard should know what kind it is.

You may not need something this strong but check it out if you do. I had to use it to get into a bridesmaid dress that I was fitted for BEFORE I found out I was pregnant. It was used 1 month after baby arrived and got me into that size 6 dress.

Target has products made by Spanx, but at a much lower price. They really help.
