Gallery: Slimming underwear to help that post Christmas bulge

By Andrea Petrou on January 4th, 2010

This morning we reported that Marks and Spencer had launched a range of slimming underwear for men and it made us think about the number of Bridget Jones style knickers available to us women.

With the frosty weather scuppering our new year running resolutions and the big R word coupled with post Christmas spending causing financial problems with gym membership, many of us will be looking for a quick fix for that Christmas bulge and we think this underwear is a perfect quick fix for that slimmer looking stomach.

We’ve therefore put together a gallery of the best slimming underwear out there to help you slip into that party dress with confidence. However, we suggest you think carefully about wearing a pair of these on a hot date, we’re sure we’re not the only ones who has that Bridget Jones scene firmly ingrained in our brains.

Marks and Spencer launches Bridget Jones style slimming pants for men

Man.jpgAfter 10 days off full on Christmas festivities many of us will use this month to get back into shape.

However, while many girls will today sign up to the gym, vow not to drink alcohol for the rest of January or just hide away the post Christmas Quality Street tins, men’s slimming options just got easier.

Marks and Spencer has just launched a male version of the Bridget Jones style slimming knickers, or should we say pants, to help our boys battle their festive bulge.

The Bodymax collection, which also features slimming vests is said to flatten the torso, creating the illusion of a waistline 1.5 inches slimmer.

Dave Binns, head of buying for men’s underwear, told the Daily Mail: “Men are becoming more conscious of their appearance. Our Bodymax range has been designed in response to this, giving men a quick fix solution for those lumps and bumps in the same way that shapewear does for women.”

Prices start from £12, and will hit stores on 7 January.
