We loved working with you on the
bra and underwear
guides. If you want to squeeze into form fitting dresses and tiny
camis you're going to need some help. SheFinds readers sent us
emails about their favorite tummy trimmers and cleavage builders
and we did some research of our own. Read on for the best Push-Up
Bra and more.
Happy Shopping!

Push-Up Bra by
Chantelle: shapely, seamless and incredibly uplifting!"
A wearer of the One
Fabulous Fit bra from Maidenform reports: "I am flat-chested,
however, I would like to look like I have something there.
I am also very concerned that I look NATURAL. So, I found the One
Fabulous Fit bra. It's an underwire, but with soft, very
thin foam cups and it doesn't look pointy, over-stuffed or
fake."
"It feels like a lot of padding, but once you've got
it on, it feels (and looks!) really natural."
"The padding is along the bottom and side, creating
a really nice "in and up" push."
"The lining and underwire are angled to really make
the most of what you've got, including a major lift *and*
perfectly spherical shape."
"I am a mommy of two and my 'girls' seemed to have
deflated and are heading south. Very upsetting! So, I use
the Very Sexy® leaf lace push-up bra."
Victoria's Secret doesn't sell these wonderful bras anymore.
But don't worry! You can still find them on eBay.

Distraction bra can set your bust soaring up two cup sizes
and Takeouts, clear,
natural-feel, silicone inserts are the trade secrets of celebs
that need to look fabulous in films and on the red carpet.
.: Butt Enhancers
For the better part of my adult life, I have tried to reduce the junk
in my trunk, rather than increase it. But for those of you who are looking
to go more J. Lo some options are below.
The Body
Wrap provides awesome shaping. It has 6 different "strategic knits",
that shape the fanny and pull in saddlebags in a way that no other product
is able to. It fits tightest around the tummy and loosest around the
front of the thigh. This provides lower back support (they claim no
other shaper product does this), and is popular with nurses and others
who are on their feet all day.
Jockey's
Long Leg Brief makes the tight jeans that seemed like a good purchase
at a sample sale actually worth wearing. We're convinced that this miracle
twist on panties takes the pounds off, leaving behind just slimmer hips
and cute butt. Better yet, you look like you've gone sans-underwear
altogether.
Bubbles are butt lifters that look a
little like pantyhose and support the derriere from beneath each cheek
to give a "pop" to the backside.
.: Thigh/Hip/Tummy Slimmers
OK we get it - you LOVE Spanx.
Below are just a few of the slimming endorsements that filled our mailbox.
"Spanx reduce
you one whole size! They leave no lines, so you can put them on with confidence
and head out to a first date, the opera, work or even Marry
Me Spanx for a wedding. I introduced my Mother to the legend of the Spanx.
She didn't want to wear hosiery to my beach wedding and Spanx allowed
her to have a tight rear and flat tummy while still feeling the sand between
her toes!"
"The Spanx
Super Footless feels just a tad tighter on the tummy than regular
control-top pantyhose but are footless and perfectly designed so that
the bottoms don't roll up your legs, nor do they have a band that creates
a bulge in your calves."
You'll be thrilled to know that Spanx now has clothing with built-in
slimming properties - try the SPANX® Bod-a-Bing
Pants, Top and Skirt.
Thrifty gals may want to check out this reader tip: "For the "most
inexpensive trimmer. I wear Hanes
control top stockings, all winter and when they run I cut them off
to the thigh and use in summer as tummy/thigh trimmer."
.: Waist and Torso Cinchers
The
Body Wrap Body Wrap Lites Bra Slip with Underwire Shapewear looks
like a sexy mini-dress but provides the smoothing, compressing and lifting
everywhere you need it. And it's comfortable to boot! With removable
straps, well-placed underwire and control that runs through the hip
this is definitely the undergarment that can make last year's snug sundress
look great again.
I don't think anyone else has duplicated the Nancy
Ganz Thong Girdle. The control is good and there are a variety of
support pieces that can be coordinated for a woman's needs.
"I have tried everything and by far, my favorite is by Cosabella, Cosabella
Bella Body Countour it is a long leg high waisted shaper, is lightweight. Love
it!!!"
As we head into skimpy clothes season it's time to fill your underthing
arsenal with lingerie that gives out-of-sight support.
The Nubra is
a must-have for summer. It has no straps, making it disappear even under
the smallest of tops. Our only complaint is that the original Nu
Bra Divine Body Bra felt
like a couple of heavy, sticky chicken filets stuck to your chest. That
problem is solved with the new Nubra
Ultralite which is 75% lighter than the original NuBra and still provides
the same coverage.
For versatility readers rave about Victoria's Secret Very
Sexy Convertible that comes with clear and regular straps, back
extenders to create a traditional 2-strap style, halter, racerback,
and even backless. And talk about lift. FANTASTIC!!"
The Sassybax bra's
design eliminates bra bulge and bra lines. The bra has no traditional
back strap. Instead it is designed to smooth out the back so
that those bulges made by the strap disappear. A fan reports "It
gives me cleavage, comfort and a smooth back."
