Slimming underwear

There is a range at the Warehouse called Hold Me Tight which is really good!!! There's a whole lot of different styles depending on the area you want to focus on. Otherwise, the Trinny and Susannah undies are AWESOME (but with a price tag to match.....)!!!

Going by experience, don't get high waisted corrective underwear as your curves can pop out the top and it can roll down. I bought a Nancy Ganz bike pants thing with really high waist and bike pants. It wasn't cheap either. The bike pants cut into my thighs in an unbecoming way and I had a muffin top just under my bra! It looked good in the shop (or I was delirious!) but not at home. It does hold everything in nicely but I reckon what goes in needs to come out somewhere else.

I have a long singlet thing from the Bendon Outlet store which is good for with jeans but the straps aren't very thin, depending on what style your dress is. Can't remember brand sorry but it was about $25.

I brought a pair of these for my friend's wedding last weekend where I was Maid of Honour.
They were great, didn't roll or anything.. was absolutely stoked! Couldn't tell I was wearing them at all.

They vary actually - some have straps, some don't, you can get some that have straps and underwire cups (for your boobs) that go down to the knee in either a skirt or like short types, you can get corset kind of things that just go round your waist area (I have one of these) and keep things trim, you can get just the shorts style....it's best to go down and have a look. They should have their own stand in the lingerie section of your local store

When I got married (and was pg) .. I got some from the bra and knicker shop (the one you find in malls) .. they were high waisted stretchy things (not too tight as I didnt want to squish the in utero Issy), but they worked a treat under the wedding dress.

The reason I ask is I wanted to buy some 'suck it all in underwear' for when I got married but the lingerie shop said they would not recommend them as they have had too many people, especially brides in big dresses, have 'wee' accidents when wearing them. Since hearing that, it has scared me off buying some. Are they really that hard to get up and down?

This may be a tad off topic, but you can actually get crotchless ones. I only know this because when I had surgery on my abdominal area .. they gave me some to wear post operatively to hold everything securely. They had bike pants type legs .. and the top went to just below the bust (so I did actually look very slim lol) .. but anyhoo, they were crotchless so you could do number ones without taking them off.

I think they'd have to be wearing them pretty damn tight to not be able to get them off to go to the toilet... I never had any problem going to the toilet when wearing them...
