I didn’t want to be sucking it in all day and have always been curious about Spanx’ Higher Power given people’s raves about Spanx in general, so I decided to go with these for my wedding, or at least, check them out. For some reason, all of the stores seemed to be out of stock of the Higher Power in beige in my size! Luckily, Nordstrom pulled through, one with of their helpful sales associates giving me a call as soon as they got them back in stock. Turns out there had been a problem with the stock shipment during those couple of weeks.

Back to the product. The Higher Power was great! When I first pulled them on at Nordstrom (they have sample sizes for customers to try on), my doubtful self immediately thought, “Oh no, these aren’t going to work, I don’t really feel anything, it can’t possibly hold everything in!” But then I looked in the mirror and did my obligatory turn to the side, and voila! Everything looked smooth and flat, just the way it should be. I took several deep breaths, purposely trying to make my belly protrude, but the Higher Power still held me in.

It was comfortable wearing these on the day of my wedding. I thought I might get a little warm, but I didn’t at all (although perhaps this was because of the cool Bay Area climate I was in). I would highly recommend the Higher Power!
