Shapewear Tames Obesity
Thursday, June 10th, 2010Sara Blakely had no idea what was getting herself into when she started SPANX. Blakely’s understanding of women’s bodies gave her the idea that most woman have something they would like to tuck, make smaller, or look better.
Like all ideas, this one started out very simple with a few Shapewear items in nude. Fast forward to today and SPANX’s catalog is 40 pages.
You can now buy Shapewear for:
- Bust
- Tummy
- Butt
- Hips
- Arms
- Legs
- Feet
- Thighs
- Torso
- Breasts
You can buy Shapewear in a variety of colors, layer it, wear it inside clothing, wear it outside clothing, wear it by itself and pretty much, cover your body with it.
While SPANX is the leading independent producer, global companies such as Maidenform and Jockey have stepped in and now department stores have complete Shapewear sections.
I have no idea if this is a trend or fad but leaning towards trend as sales continue to spike up. It’s amazing.
Being a guy (oh yes, there is now Shapewear for guys), I am very happy to be married. I can only imagine dating a girl, getting her into the bedroom and well, you know where this is going.
Shapewear has done for obesity what Lipitor has done for cholesterol. Looks like you can now have your cheeseburger and fries and look great too!
Happy Thursday!
