Oh dear, being pregnant myself I recently pondered in one of my delirious states, whether these existed. I guess my question has been answered!

And no, I’d never dare wear them. My guts feel compressed enough by the baby as is.

“Post-feminists”? I hate that term. The day when our patriarchal society stops policing women’s bodies (often with the complicity of other women), is the day we will be “post” feminism.

Sister, I think you should read Caitlin Moran. Her newest book, that is. I have a feeling you two would like each other a great deal if you met, and she is hilarious on the subject of painful underwear.

the best part about this image is that she’s up on her tip toes. . . just to make sure she’s looking her sexiest.

Wouldn’t that be bad for the baby? I wore just regular spanx and I felt like a little loopy after wearing it past hour 2.

Its like: Yes, Im pregnant BUT NOT SO pregnant or wtf? 😀 In my mind spandex is associated only with hiding something, making look smaller…

I’m sorry but when you have a human being in your vagina you cannot be expected to wear underpants. And when you laugh or cough you should warn anyone wearing suede shoes nearby.

Ewww, no. And NO to Spanx. My motto is (and this could change w/ advancing age…) if you “need” Spanx, then perhaps you ought to size up your clothing, don’t wear body-con attire, or take up exercise.

I wonder where does the fat go when tucked under spanx? It can be compressed?!
Compressing unborn children is a genocide.

4 months after i gave birth i was shopping for a brief cut/kind of undies. A sales associate approached me and handed me a pair of spanx and said the words i will never forget for the rest of my life – “try this one, you can still use this after giving birth”. I looked at her then she saw my son, i asked her why would a pregnant lady use spanx? WHY? She smiled. argh!

okay i know how the bulge could take sometime to drop but isn’t that rude, I mean ask a “pregnant” woman to wear spanx. Who in the right mind would do that?

but anyway back when i was pregnant i used some kind of support because my belly ballooned and my back is killing me. but never spanx. It’s a belly band. It’s a stretchy cotton tube, it’s comfy.
