Yummie Tummie – the most comfortable girdle you’ll ever wear

I was contacted by the girls of Clever Girls Collective a few weeks before BlogHer09 and asked to be a “brand ambassador” for Yummie Tummie Shapewear while attended the conference.

Basically, they were going to give me two free Yummie Tummies and asked me to talk about my experience with them.

I agreed.  Mainly because I love Cat and will do anything she asks of me.

And also because this thing is supposed to cure muffin top.

Now, what the hell is a Yummie Tummie?

Yummie Tummie is a brand of “shapewear” similar to Spanx.  It’s designed to suck you in a little and, mainly, smooth everything out.  You know, the lumps and rolls and bumps that show up under clingy clothing and make the world forget you used to have a waistline separate from your hips.

Although there are a few different incarnations of the Yummie Tummie, it’s most common form is a tank top that is designed to be worn under your clothing.

(That being said, Bossy managed to wear her black Yummie Tummie as a shirt all weekend long.  But that woman is a beautiful freak of nature.  So there’s that.)

The two things I was most concerned with were:

Would it work?

and

Could I breathe in it?

Notice I did not say “would it be comfortable?”.  I assumed it would not be.  Anything designed to suck in your fat is probably going to feel like it is sucking in your fat. But I have scars on my feet from uncomfortably hot shoes, so I am less concerned with comfort than I am with my body’s real and actual need for oxygen.

And yet, it was comfortable.

Really and truly and actually comfortable.

I could more than breathe – I could MOVE.  And the only difference between this and a normal tank top I would layer underneath my clothes was that I felt slightly more supported.  But in a good way, not a hold on to the bed post while someone tightens your corset way.

In fact, it was so comfortable that I actually slept in my Yummie Tummies on more than one occassion.  (Not on purpose, obviously.   But on “fuck I am too tired to take off ALL my clothes”.)

But did it work?

I give you, Exhibit A:

Followed immediately by, Exhibit B:

In a word:

Hell.  Yes.

I have a belly.  A pooch, if you will.  A paunch, some may call it.

I wear belts and structured shirts and all kinds of things in a desperate attempt to fake a waistline.

People constantly tell me that I am “little” because I am “short”, but I am also far more lumpy than I would like to be.  Especially between my rib cage and my hip bones.

Although this did nothing to shrink my ass, I was impressed by how well it smoothed everything out without causing massive overflow lumps above and below the smoothing panels.  I didn’t feel thinner so much as sleeker.

And feeling sleeker is sexy, damn it.

I give the Yummie Tummie two emphatic thumbs up.
