I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this because I had in mind that, even if it was slimming, it would be so uncomfortable. But it's not! In fact, I even forget I have it on! Super slimming as well. And, for those of you who don't know (I didn't), in the crotch there is an "opening" that allows you to pee without having to take it all off. I was hesitant at first, but after taking off my shirt and then the Spanx a few times to pee, I decided to try it. Easy and no mess. Hard to believe, but it's true.
