Spanx Body Shapers By TeaKat on Dec 03, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Watch out world! The latest must-have in ladies undergarments has hit the stores for the "everyday" women. Spanx are the modern and more comfortable version of the panty girdle created by Sara Blakely.

The Higher Power body shaper, or panty girdle, holds all the unwanted lumps and bumps in. The Higher Power starts the illusion of being tone just below the breasts and continue down to mid thigh. They help me get into jeans I haven't worn in years!

The body shaper is made of lycra, nylon, and spandex which makes them very soft and comfortable. There is no binding around the leg which would cause bulging.

Spanx come in two colors: nude and black.

Most celebrity women own a pair of these shapers. Oprah Winfrey, who had Sara Blakely appear on her show to talk about her success with her body shapers, also wears them.

Spanx are making their way into Wal-mart and Target stores soon and I personally can't wait!
