I actually fell in love with these last year after purchasing as my first pair of Spanx.  I didn't really understand what the excitement was about until I put them on and they "held" in all the right places. The secret is getting the correct size.  If you order to small they will only roll down creating more of a mess.  I came back this year for a smaller size after I lost a few pounds and I must say....I'm still convinced...they are simply the best!!!!!
