See, I love my big ass, but I don’t like the gut flab that goes with it. 😉 My favorite “shapewear” (aka: nouveau girdles) is this super-high waisted bike short. The fabric in FRONT is very strong and holds you in, but the fabric on the backside and ass are more sheer. Hence, my booty isn’t squashed flat, but my stomach flab is held in check. Perfect!
