I have little tolerance for Spanx or similar and can report that it is VERY comfortable. It might be uncomfortably warm in summer weather, but it doesn't feel constricting at all, yet it does have a distinct smoothing effect under the otherwise unadvisably thin-knit sweater I have on. (I don't have a protruding stomach but am rather soft and fleshy!) What I like about it is that the miracle fabric is replaced by ordinary material in the bust area, so it doesn't mash my boobs down like all other "slimming" camisoles I have tried. It is also less inclined to ride up than an ordinary camisole and has already made a few slightly too short sweaters wearable again. Thumbs up!

I wonder if it's better to just wear a big t-shirt. T-shirts are comfortable and cheap. They look okay on these models, but they sound like they might be uncomfortable and pricey.

That would look much more flattering and is probably more comfortable than wearing Yummie Tummie. I once tried wearing a shapewear camisole 2 years ago under a dress and it tended to roll up from the hem. I had to duck into the bathroom every few minutes to pull the thing down because you could see the roll under the fabric of the dress. Seems like a shapewear bodysuit would be the only way to solve that problem Since muffin tops tend to be caused by pants that have too low of a rise, it makes more sense to me just to stick with higher rise pants.

It IS like buying a bra that you don’t wear every day. I like the way you think Rosie and Carissa. It IS like buying a bra that you don’t wear every day.

They are expensive, but the cost per wear probably ends up very low! It is almost like buying a good bra. Phew. :) I think I might order one of the camis, as I use them as layering pieces a lot!

It smoothes out a silhouette and generally IMPROVES muffin–top. It can’t hope to take muffin-top away completely. Of course it depends entirely on how much muffin top there is. My opinion is still the same. I’ve seen the yummie-tummie first had and it works rather well. It’s optimistic to assume that any shapewear takes away all lumps and bumps.

(OK, well, a little bigger, but...) I checked out the size chart on the website: http://my.yummietummie.com/size-chart.html An XL (16) has the following measurements: 39" chest, 31" waist, 42" hips. This can't be the measurement of the actual woman trying to fit into this, right? Angie, please tell me that this is the size of the garment that will presumably stretch??!

I can't imagine it being effective for anything but the most minor case of muffintop. But if you've got a pair of pants that is just slightly too snug, it might be just the thing.
