Dear Spanx,
We had a mutual understanding, and it seems you’re not holding up your end of the bargain. You’ve always been my trusted companion for tightening, smoothing, and shaping. Yes, I’ve gained a few pounds, but you’ve got built-in stretch; surely you can accommodate an extra slice of pizza or two. This should not come as a surprise to you—your primary role is to assist those of us who struggle with workouts to look a little more polished. I purchased you in my size when I was at that weight, but now I find myself slightly beyond that. It’s only about 10 pounds (okay, let’s be honest—maybe the freshman 15), and yet, you seem to be failing me.
Embarrassing Moments with Spanx
-
Remember that moment I wore you for my daughter’s special event? I had that beautiful dress but had gained a few extra pounds—thanks to that beach vacation, I needed some extra support. I opted for the all-in-one dress alternative, the less expensive cousin of Spanx, because spending $80 on something nobody sees seemed excessive. Well, now I’ve seen the photos. You didn’t do your job; I looked like I was five months along.
-
Let’s not forget that embarrassing moment in church when you decided to roll up like a window shade. There I was, sitting quietly, when your fabric gave up and started creeping up my legs. I frantically tried to adjust you under my dress, all while praying nobody noticed. I can only imagine the thoughts of those around me as I struggled to maintain my dignity during the service.
-
Then there was the time I wore that chic black jumpsuit to a fundraiser. It was a risky choice, but I felt confident. Until I found myself trapped in the shapewear in the bathroom stall. Picture this: me, in a confined space, battling the all-in-one garment. After finally getting the top pulled down, I was left grappling with the bottom piece that had climbed up to my waist. Meanwhile, someone next to me was having their own struggles, which only added to my chaos.
-
And how about that night I got stuck in my shapewear tank top after a long day? I was in my closet, wrestling with the clingy material that decided to cling a bit too much. I began to panic, contemplating the use of scissors. Thankfully, I managed to free myself, but not without a newfound appreciation for what claustrophobia feels like.
-
The last straw came recently when I had to ask my partner to help me out of my Spanx top because I was genuinely trapped and beginning to panic. This moment obliterated any sense of allure I had tried to create over the past 14 years. I mean, if anyone doubted my sex appeal, that moment confirmed it.
So, thank you, Spanx and your various versions, for providing me with a series of embarrassing moments and anxiety-inducing experiences. If I could shed 20 pounds, I’d gladly send you packing.
I understand that going up a size might solve my issues, but I refuse to invest more money in you. After all, I plan to be back to my ideal size soon.
Thank you for failing to fulfill your promise.
Sincerely,
Me
