Spanks are evil. Im just putting that out there. I had a surgery I need a compression garment and my doctor suggested getting Spanx. They work really well for what I needed which was a compression garment. They stay in place, the breeds well, and they wash and wear well. I had to wear them 24 seven for three weeks so I think I can reliably say that these are a good quality product. That being said, no flattened lumps and bumps are worth feeling like an overstuffed sausage.
