Sassybax

Sexy Back

Most women are pears. They’ve got thigh shapers and control top stockings that probably work well to control their below-the-belt bulges. Then again, I wouldn’t know. I’m one of those thick-waisted apples. I have drawers full of long-line bras, and suffocating tank tops that are meant to control my below-the-bra bulge, but have never really successfully kept that pesky bit o’ back fat under wraps.

The problem with most of these contraptions is that what gets squeezed tends to pop out somewhere else (cups runneth over, the bra rides up to reveal an unsightly roll around the waist, and some lump somewhere I’d rather people not feel, greets them the second they hug me hello).

Then I tried Sassybax. What I loved was that unlike some of the upper body shaping get-ups I’ve tried in the past, the version I tested had underwire cups (where there’s back fat, there’s boobage, I always say). The bottom of the garment went down to the waist—where miraculously, no lumps or rolls snuck out. Everything that needed to be smoothed was smoothed, everything that needed to be lifted was lifted, and everything that needed to stay put, stayed put. I could breathe, too (somehow that shouldn’t be last on my list, however, as those experienced with shapewear know, it’s an unexpected but thoroughly welcome surprise).

Hey apples: Come out, come out wherever you are! Tell us what you think of Sassybax, and whether you’ll be wearing shapewear like this.
