Which girdle is very lightweight and very stretchy and comfortable, but makes you look good?

I have an old no-name-brand girdle thats feather light and comfortable and controls, but its no longer made.

I have a model of Spanx thats not comfortable because it goes too high at the waist, and too low at the thighs.

Wheres the best place to get it?

I found it to be the most similar to the discontinued brand 'I can't believe' . It's now being sold at my local stores as a restocked item after years of also being discontinued but they now have quite different fit as years ago when I first had them.

I bought this recently online and like it a lot. It serves as a bra and girdle, and because it's one piece, there are no bumps (aka muffin tops) like there sometimes is above girdle waistlines. Sizing goes according to bra size.

I just got this for postpartum-

Spanx OnCore

It is very comfortable and lightweight but really holds you in. Its a pair of Spanx shorts that goes up to the bra-line, which I like cuz that creates a nicer silhouette, in my opinion.

if the spanx gives you sticker shock, target makes a similar product for cheaper. assets is made by the same company that makes spanx. I have something similar to what gold21 posted but assets, not spanx.

Hmm. I wasnt bfing anymore when I got this. Would probably be an issue. I guess you can pull the strap off your shoulder and maneuver yourself, but ud have to take ur top or sleeve off for that to work...

I bought a Love Your Assets by Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx) shaper half slip at TJ Maxx for $7.99. Excellent!
