Then I noticed the sea of racks showcasing these ugly shape-wear body suits. It made me think... What do men say when they find out that their girlfriend has actually been wearing sausage casing for the past two months, and that her stomach isn't actually as hard as the ivory boning in her shape-wear? Then I wondered how a guy would react in the very moment that her "armor of deceit" was revealed .
Picture this: You and your boyfriend are having a nice evening out at the movies. Afterwords, you go out for ice cream at the local Baskin Robbins. You finish your entire bowl of Cookies N' Cream (because you have your shape-wear on, and of course, it will hide your food-baby). He takes you back to your place, and you invite him inside to "talk", if you get my drift. After "talking" for a while he exclaims, "WOAHHH! What is that thing around your stomach?!!!" .... The truth comes out. You must explain that you're neither wearing a one piece swimsuit, nor a back-brace. How awkward is that?

I feel like products like this are somewhat misleading and could cause confusion if ever seen by the opposite sex. I also agree that certain kinds of dresses make them necessary. However, what's your opinion on booty pop and push-up bras? It's shape wear for women who have the opposite problem.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that shape wear such as booty pop and push-up bras fall under the same category. While I'm guilty of wearing push-up bras, I'm aware that it is misleading. Push-up bras, however, seem more socially acceptable because they're an enhanced version of something that a woman will already be wearing- a bra. Booty pop and other shape wear is definitely more obvious since it's an additional article of clothing. It's interesting... I wonder what they will make next!
ReplyDeleteHaven't you seen Bridget Jones? She was wearing one and she got Hugh Grant!
ReplyDeleteNot everyone is perfect ... some need "sausage casing" and some don't ... the bottom line here is... if it makes you feel beautiful what is the harm? If any man you are dating cares more about the body than the person... you are well rid of him! If Spanx make you feel pretty ... SPANX ALL YOU WANT!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the fact that before you are stipping to your skivvies I would imagine that you know each other well enough to be honest. Not every occasion is a SPANXY one...
I had a baby in June, I totally wear "sausage casing" because I have a lot of extra skin - my daughter was 10 pounds, that shit ain't going away until I get a tummy tuck.
