i've been putting this off for so long bc frankly it wearies me just thinking about searching for the right shapewear. i'm pretty much stuck with what i can find at Kohls nearby (luckily they have a huge selection) and the reason i'm putting it off is because i don't want a cami (well i'd like to try one) that smashes my breasts and i don't want anything in the form of panties because i like a rounded butt and do NOT want that flattened either

i have a torso nipper (like a tube top around the waist) that is nice BUT...it nips my waist in which is fine but not needed and doesn't do the front tummy flattening that i DO need, the spare tire around the belly button is basically what i need flattening and there are so many options with seemingly so many obstacles. Yea i know...boo hoo, call the whaaaambulance. i just don't like trying on clothes but especially shapewear. Well, wish me luck

Good luck! Let us know if you find anything good!

Did you find anything good? Khols doesn't carry them, but Spanx are worth every penny. I have the one that goes from bra line to mid thigh and it actually makes my butt look better - more round and perky.

oooh well i would sure like that!! if it doesn't flatten it at all! My main concern is the front of my abdomen from top of belly button down.

i tried on a bunch of different kinds at Kohls and found one that did the trick closest to what i was looking for, hopefully it will do it In Real Life if that makes sense but i had to order the next size down on Amazon as they didn't have a Medium at Kohls. I had rejected it a few months ago because of the hook/eye closure but i didn't see it through my top so... we'll see!!
