This afternoon a co-worker noticed my baby bump as we were passing one another in the break room. I was telling her how I was reading about the benefits of maternity supports and am considering purchasing one in the next few months. She mentioned this website spanx.com. She went on to described how she had seen it on Oprah and was impressed. I checked out the website myself and was equally impressed. Spanx was created by Sara Blakely when she cut the feet of her panty hose to wear with a pair of pants. I read over a couple of testimonials regarding the “Mama Spanx”, a pantyhose for pregnant women, and I’m convinced I’ll be ordering a pair for myself. It seems as though the Mama Spanx offers an alternative to the tradition maternity supports which can be uncomfortable.
