BYE MUM TUM! 6 OF THE BEST SHAPEWEAR KNICKERS

This post is dedicated to the Big Knickers brigade, who like me feel comforted with all the extra waist and bum cheek coverage. In fact sales of thongs have slumped to an all time low and I can totally see why. Even in my perky bum days, I wore thongs begrudgingly because that was what all self-respecting Garage girls did, my corniest was a pair of Miss Selfridge pastel sequinned Union Jack thongs… I digress.

Big knickers have come a long, long way from Bridget Jones’ day. There are frills, lace, bows, prints and slogans and even sequins for special occasions. But this post isn’t about your average big knickers, it’s all about big knickers on a mission to smooth, control and flatter. It’s about the best shapewear knickers to control the mum tum, whether it’s to help you into your favourite skinnies or for a very special date night outfit.

You see, today is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. The overflow of Christmas (arguments, weight gain and financial debt) and dark winter days takes its toll on the nation. Perhaps you’ve given up on your new year resolutions or ignored the calls for a dry January. Perhaps, like me, your mum tum has become your super mum side kick and getting into some of your favourite pieces is an Olympic event.

I say, stop right there! Sod it all, and get yourself a pair of tummy control knickers it all, as you tick one less worry off your Debbie Downer list. Less focusing on your dream body and making the most of the one you have right now, just with a little help from our friend spandex.
