What Kind of Spanx is Everyone Buying to Replace Your CG After a Tummy Tuck?

By Shellybelle on 20 Oct 2012

Can't decide between the Simplicity open bust camisole which has a compression of 'super', the Slimmer and Shine high waisted body tunic or the Slimmer and Shine mid thigh body suit (the last two have a compression level of 'Super Duper')... So confused :/

I found one by marena comfort garment and it has hook eye closure at the crotch which i think is better then crotchless cause then u dont have to worry about peeing on ur garment.. and undont have to strggle trying to pull it up and down!

I had no idea what to get bc of sizing. So I decided to check out the brand of the cg I got from my doc post surgery. It's not too snug on me and it's an XL. I feel like it should be tighter. It is Sculptures Brand. Since I already know the XL is too big, I figure a L should work. I went to the website and found a stage 2 garment that is crotchless (yay) and looks like just what I need. Shipping is free and it should be here tomorrow. awesome.

If you don't need leg coverage, I found the most comfortable and easy to use in the waist cincher by flexees....it has all those eye hooks down the middle but it covers from under the bust to the hips over tummy and you can wear panties under or over...it is really to easy to go to bathroom even if you wear panty underneath...you can just unhook a few bottom ones and fold it up...I wear the panty underneath because I put the palmers on after my shower and this way it doesn't get all over the garment...

I would just go by wich is more comfortable for you, I can tell you maybe to buy a torset from Flexees by maidenform BUT maybe is not comofortable for you,I'm 7 months postop and I still wear that sometimes you have to go and try them on to see if they don't pinch you in places that maybe don't pinch anyone else.....just a thought

I was given the OK to wear Spanx after 3 weeks and PS nurse told me it didn't matter whether it was pants or a cami as long as it hugged by abdomen/ incision, so I went with the open bust cami. I didn't want to be pulling high waisted pants up and down every time I had to potty. I was still most comfortable in my CG until close to the 8-week mark, but wore the Spanx when I was out socially and didn't want the bulk of the CG. Thursday will be 9 weeks po for me and I am now wearing the Spanx all day and my CG at night bc I'm not comfortable otherwise.
