Nannynoodles thank you so much for that lovely vision - I spluttered into my coffee! grin

I've bought from Conturve (after seeing a FB advert!), and can report that I'm very p!eased with them. They are comfortable and stay up, and really do smooth you out, and pull that tummy in. Will be taking them on my cruise to wear under my formal dresses!

I'm looking for knickers with the longer legs - for chub rub.

I have some Sloggi ones but there is absolutely no support in the body part and I need that to hold in my horrible belly.

I also have some of the heavy duty ones. These are great for a special occasion but a bit too restricting for everyday wear.

I am trying to find something in between, or at least something with a panel at the front.

I had a look in M&S. They have the non support ones. They did have some 'shorts' that seemed OK but the legs were not long enough.

There are tons of the chub rub pants on Amazon but they all seem to be the thin ones.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but mine is a similar issue. Would love some recommendations. Thanks

I've got M&S ones, very comfortable, don't ride up your legs or roll down at the waist and they do the job. 2 pairs for £20.

Still available on eBay, these are a big saving on the Selfridges site.

I bought one from M and S a few years ago. It came up under the bra and had straps and did a wonderful job of flattening tum and bum. Sadly, I have put on too much weight and doubt I could get into it now.

Thanks Sago, I’ll look those up.

Yes, Nannynoodles, that’s rather what I imagined!

I have tried the M&S ones and some Sloggi ones I think they were when I wanted to look a little sleeker for a wedding.
They were ok for a while but not particularly comfortable for a whole day and dancing in the evening after a meal.
The trouble is I think is that if they squish you in one place it comes out elsewhere which is why some pants have longer legs and higher waists up to your bra line! You could theoretically end up with many chins and huge knees!!

The very best by a country mile are Skims ( Kim Kardashian ).
She is a disgrace to womanhood in many ways but her legacy is Skims.
They are comfy and really work.
I got mine from eBay (new in box ) a charity seller had a job lot they were £20.
I have tried many others but nothing like these, they look so small when you unpack them but miraculously they fit and hold it all in, you are also able to breathe and move, always a bonus!

Anyone any recommendations for shaper pants? I have a flabby tummy, although I’m not too overweight. Several dresses I have would definitely look better if I could ‘flatten’ the midriff area! M and S ones any good? Do they work? Are they comfortable? (Especially in the heat, or for a whole day / evening?) Anyone bought from Conturve online?
Thanks
