Oops I wet my pants!

The other day a friend and I were discussing our weight woes and I told her how I wanted to try control underwear to cinch and suck in those parts that refuse to go no matter how much weight I lose and frankly I’m just not ready for the schlep that is gym.

My friend told me about a pair she bought at Edgars that start at the knee and ends just above your breast. Excited at the prospect of wearing my skinny jeans and fitted t shirts I went and  bought a pair the next day.
As you can imagine wearing control underwear that look more like a cat suit will be a bit of an inconvenience if one has to go to the bathroom, but wait the manufacturers thought of this so there is a small opening  the size of a R5 coin between the legs so you don’t have to worry about the ritual of undressing when going to the loo.
I have to say the underwear worked great, Friday i went to pick up Khwezi looking like a Yummy Mommy.Skinnies tucked into my boots, vest and cardigan there was no muffin top. I had a bit of shortness in breath but hey “beauty is pain” I mean I have had hairstyles that made me cry myself to sleep so what’s a bit of impaired breathing?

 A day in the tights felt really good. That is until I had to go to the loo. I was at my mother-in-law’s, and honestly I would’ve held it but it seemed quite easy, expand the opening, wee and walla. It was not easy at all, I had to shift my underwear and the opening of the control underwear to the side with one hand, take the other opening with the other hand, now said opening was seeming more like a R1 coin than R5 (big difference when you have to wee through it) if I try to explain anymore of what happened in that loo this blog will seem more erotica than mommy so let me just stop trying. I will say however I never thought at 30 years old, a non drinker that I would pee my pants, yes the control underwear sucks in everything even your wee!  After an uncomfortable and itchy moment on my mom-in-laws sofa sitting in a position that defied gravity I have decided  I have to ditch the Control underwear, well at least until find a sexy pair of adult nappies!

Fashion - Cropped pants

After losing much of my Khaya weight and not being restricted  leggings any longer, I have fallen back in love with fashion.

One of my fashion favourites is the Cropped pant I love it so much I bought three pairs, the best being a pair of Abercombie & Fitch pants that I bought for a R100 at Meltz!

They are great because you can dress them down with a fitted t-shirt, pumps and  a cardigan, or go glam with a platform pumps, and tuxedo jacket. As a mom and woman over 30 this is one trend I can wear and not look like a fashion victim!
