Isn&#8217;t this a time to relax and celebrate your changing body? Since everyone can see you&#8217;re pregnant, why do they need you to have a compressed ass and thighs?<\/p>\n<p>I hate Spanx although I realize they are a staple of most women&#8217;s undergarments. I once tried on a pair of black spanx in my size but it was like trying to stuff an elephant into a tight spandex sandwich bag. I barely got it over my knees. I didn&#8217;t want to fight with it. I wanted it to go live at my sister&#8217;s house where it could torture her instead.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not against Shapewear per se but Spanx, never. To impose Spanx on a pregnant woman is to undermine her joy in carrying a child. It&#8217;s an abomination. A nice pair of stretchy black underpants is all you need at this glorious time.<\/p>\n<p>Men, do you like to undress a woman and find she is wearing Spanx? Is it too late for a new wave of post-feminists to rally to burn their Spanx?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do you have to wear Spanx when you&#8217;re pregnant?
