9 Reasons Why There's No Shame In Spanx

To whoever invented Spandex, thank you. They make all of our lives a hell of a lot easier. They get rid of all the lumps and bumps that we hate and personally, I don't see anything wrong with that. But generally if we wear Spanx, we don't tend to admit it. But there ain't no shame in Spanx my little pals, and here's why:

1) They make you look hella good.

And who can argue with that logic? #flawless

2) I can put whatever I want on my body.

Because it's mine and fuck you anyway haters.

3) They're basically just underwear.

Underwear is a necessity and I have to wear it and that's just the way it is, ok?

4) No one even knows you're wearing them.

Even if you are a little embarrassed about wearing them, no one can ever tell you are because they're sneaky little fuckers and this shall be your dirty little secret. Winning.

5) They're celebrity's friends, too.

Kim K is a big fan. That's basically the seal of approval for us plebs so. Twerk it, twerk it.

6) We use them for the same reasons that we use make-up.

We use both to look and feel better about ourselves. Although, they're considerably easier to master when compared with a smoky eye. Just saying.

7) They give you a workout.

Squeezing into a full on body Spandex bodysuit is a workout in itself, I tell ya.

8) They give you the effects of exercise without the struggle.

They can give you a J-Lo ass without all the squats. Winner winner, low carb chicken dinner.

9) Anybody can wear them.

You can squeeze into them before a night out, or maybe you'll see your Dad in his tight pair on his bike. But Spanx don't discriminate against us and so we shouldn't discriminate against them.
