Starting July 25, Spanx will expand its shapewear and undergarment line to include two styles of jeans.
As all Spanx-wearers know, the “slimming” and “blemish-free” part of shapewear comes from tightness and compression. But it also comes at a price.
Dr. Maryannn Mikhail also told HuffPo that the risks for these conditions are higher in overweight individuals, who are a target demographic for shapewear.
The celebrity-endorsed Spanx brand has been expanding from undergarments in recent years.
Another possible result of prolonged use of shapewear? Bloating.
