Has anyone used SPANKS and if so, do they work? Where do you buy them?
I have to go to a wedding next month, tried on the dress and I figure I need something to help suck me in! If you have any other suggestions, I'm all 'eyes'! Thanks

I was wondering the very same thing. I just can't justify the price of spanks. If anyone knows of a cheaper but effective version I'd love to hear about it. I'll be watching this one.
...and in that moment I swear we were infinite.
I wore a pair of knock offs under a bridesmaid dress and everyone swore I'd lost weight. I can't remember what brand I used. I looked for footless nylons with a control top that came quite high up the body. I bought them at the bay but that was a couple of years ago now.
I wore them for my wedding and for other special occasions since. Yes they do work. I find that they just smooth out the lumpy bumpies and lift the bottom a bit. I ordered mine online a few years ago as I couldn't get them locally and I found a great deal with a coupon code with borderfree.
BTW - It's SPANX - I wasn't sure what you were asking about until I read your description
Here's the link to the place where I ordered mine - Bare Necessities - I'm sure you can still find coupon codes too. I have seen them for sale other places now though (I just don't recall exactly where).

Check the Bay, as well as there is a place on Richmond that sells them as well. Not sure of the name, it would be on the west side, shoe store close to TJ's. I've gotten a "girdle" from Winners before, they have a lot of things like that for cheap cheap cheap compared to what you would pay at the Bay etc. I paid $12.99 for something comparable to Spanx that wouldretail for $80+
I haven't used them myself, but if you are lookign for the Spanx brand in town, I think Positively Breastfeeding sells them now in the regular as well as maternity version. I was thinking of giving Tess a call to check them out.
They also sell them at Addition Elle if you need a little bigger size. I have both the SPANX brand and knock offs and they are both the same in working so I would go with the cheaper. I love them though.
My cousin bought some in the states for 12.99 !! I've never used them but I'm pretty sure you can order them online...I might buy some for after this baby is born...we'll see!
Used the maternity ones when I was pregnant for support and loved them. Bought them in Stratford @ Renosance on main street...use to be La Cache.
They sell them at TABI...I have also seen them at Winners. I have not used them so can't give advice.

I bought a version of them at Walmart (can't remember name) and they worked wonders! Enjoy!
They sell them at Balletts (bridal place) I bought one yesterday (to wear a dress) and I LOVE it! LOL They are $50 there.
