Spanx

[s7ephanie]

cycling shorts ? i have a pair of spanx (gripper knickers) - for the guys, they are pants that hold you up and in !!
anyway i was thinking if i cut out the padding in a pair of cycling shorts and sew them in the spanx, i can hide the pot belly whilst cycling, do you think it would work ?

I doubt you'll find any guys on here with pot belly experience, you know, with us all being super hero fit macho cyclists an' all...

Why not wear the spanx under your padded cycling shorts?Or do you intend to ride around in just the spanx, you naughty girl?

Yes if you want to pass out - otherwise no.

p.s. Spanx are an awful invention akin to corsets with the damage they do to your body

Just wear a massive tee shirt, then no one will see anything

Ride with a poddy tummy and be proud. You are out cycling which is more than most people are doing.

I agree.

Why not just buy some "magic" underwear - like a more breathing friendly version of spanx! Sloggi do comfy ones, and M&S do pretty ones.
Much easier to wear under your cycling knickers -and more comfy.

There's no "have to" in it.
