..."we wore a Spanx garment, once."
How many of you got into the Spanx? That's pretty awesome. That would have been a better story than asking whether or not grown women should wear whatever it is they choose.

Let's just preface this by saying that we wore a Spanx garment, once. And we never wore it again.
Celebs swear by Spanx for keeping their tummies tucked in during awards shows and premieres, and regular gals rely on the body-shaping garments for important events like weddings.
Gearing up to attend a summer wedding a couple of years ago, we noticed that our belly could stand to look a little flatter. So we bought a girdle-like Spanx product, and removed it before cocktail hour was over. We value our ability to breathe more than our vanity.
That's why we're shocked to hear that Spanx recently expanded its product line for pregnant women, according to a report in the Globe and Mail.
A visit to the Spanx website proves that pregnancy Spanx do exist. Take the Power Mama ($32), for example.
"Spanx is here to support you, baby bump and all! Power mamas love to look great all nine months and these Power Panties® deliver! These babies grow with you, so choose your pre-pregnancy size!" the site says.
The site also claims that, "Soft yarns stretch with your growing belly" and that the garment "provides lower back support."
But even if these garments are comfortable (which we find hard to believe), isn't it a little sick to suck in a baby bump? For the last time, it's not fat ... it's a baby.

If I was pregnant I would show it off, I would be proud, no one expects someone to be bulging pregnant and as thin as ever.
