It’s true. I can’t live without it. Get your heads outta the gutter! I’m talking about my Spanx… the brilliant little contraptions that suck it all in and fit you back into your skinny jeans.
Posted today on Momversation.com, I’m chatting with other mommies about our fave ‘new-mom’ products that we can’t live without. The usuals came up: binkys, rocker-chairs and Diaper Genies, but I’ll be so shameless to declare that Spanx are my actual favorite new-mom product that I can’t live without. Truthful, yes. Selfish, I hope not.
I never tried wearing Spanx before having a baby, but now I am obsessed. Call me vain, but I like my ass to feel like it’s compact (pre-baby) as opposed to jiggly-wiggly (after-baby). Feeling like my old-self inexplicably gives me more energy and puts me in a good mood… positive things for any Mommy to feel, right?
My “Spanxperimentation” started when a reporter friend of mine told me to buy a girdle (during my 9th month of pregnancy) to wear at all times after the birth of my baby. She swore that it “encouraged her tummy to shrink” after having her kids and got her figure back a bit quicker. This chick has a knockout body, so I wasn’t going to second-guess her wisdom. Off to Nordstrom I went… and opted for the cute packaging of Spanx instead of the traditional granny-girdle. 4 months later I’m still in love. People ask me what I did to get my figure back, and I say “Spanx” with a big, giddy smile.
A sexy Mommy is a happy Mommy.
I realize how stupid this sounds, but it works for me… what works for you?
