Spanks?

jennikarle

I am 9 weeks along and have only gained 2 lbs, but I am so bloated! My pants don't fit, and my belly fat has oddly moved north and is pushing on the bottom of my boobs when i wear pants (odd, I know). Does anyone know if it's unhealthy to wear spanks? Only on occasion, and just for a few more weeks, when I finally can switch over to maternity clothing. Thoughts?

I wear them a few times a week.

I think I read somewhere that they make maternity ones.

I'd say as long as you're comfortable in them it's probably okay, but you might be more comfortable using a bella band rather than trying to squish everything in.  That sounds like it would be horribly uncomfortable to me!

Maternity ones exist but would be HUGE.  OP, Spanx, if you can stand them, are perfectly safe.

I'd get a bella band

I wore maternity spanks for a friends wedding and they have no support around the tummy, so they would not work for what you want.

Regular ones of the Bella Bands are more comfy!!

This.  They may not be comfortable.

Tried the spanks last night and it made me feel like I had to eternally pee (not to mention it didn't really help my weird under the boob fat)....I'll try this Bella band thing out! Until then, I'll just live in my high wasted sun dresses and leave the pants on the shelf.
