Tummy Tuck jeans make quite a hefty promise: to flatten your tummy, lift your butt, and make you wear one size smaller. I have not tried them myself, but I am intrigued by the concept!
Rachael Ray and Diane Sawyer are among the celebrities who rave about these jeans, which boast " a secret 'crisscross' front panel design and extra stretch in the rear." The jeans also have double the Lycra content of standard jeans, 4% as opposed to 2%.
I am thoroughly impressed that the founder of Tummy Tuck Jeans is a woman named Lisa Rudes-Sandel, the first Latina woman to create her own line of denim. Of her inspiration, Rudes-Sandel offers, "Nobody was making jeans for (average sized) women. I am in pretty good shape and I couldn't wear anything out there. Everything was very young. They were either made small or were running small or they were shapeless. I didn't want to show my underwear every time I bent over."
Check out the Tummy Tuck jeans online showroom where I was thrilled by the versatility and range of styles and colors offered.
And Nordstrom offers Tummy Tuck's line of "Not Your Daughter's Jeans" (I love that name!)
These jeans are a stylish alternative to plastic surgery!
Has anyone tried Tummy Tuck jeans? Let me know your thoughts.

It's an interesting idea. The origin of the corset is lost in remote antiquity.Uplifting brassieres and corsets were used at times to emphasize the feminine shape and flatten the tummy.I think tummy tuck jeans are an option for every women who cares about her body shape and you can have great results using them.Thanks for the tip!

Yes, I own a pair and they did as they promised until after 2 washes. Now the 'tummy tuck' panel is too relaxed and the jeans stretched out too much to hold any of my flesh in place.
They're still quite attractive, but does anyone know how to restore the stiffness in the 'tummy tuck' panel?

That is why the salesperson told me to buy a size smaller than I usually wear.
She was correct. I would throw them in the dryer if they are not holding you in anymore.......they are the best jeans ever. wish I could find them cheaper. the look is worth every penny, but they are a little expensive.
wonderful jeans...........
