Muffin top, Rachel Zoe and Shapewear: Things that make you say bananas.

I’ve never worn shapewear. I’ve never really needed to wear it. And honestly? I’ve never thought that feeling like I needed an oxygen tank during my night on the town was worth looking skinnier.

But then I became a mom of 2. And that mom pooch got a little, errr, looser. So I bought a shapewear tank, wore it once, and thought I was going to die. Literally. Not the Rachel Zoe kind of die, either. Yes, I looked flatter. No, it wasn’t worth it.

But I decided to give shapewear another try. I mean, anything that Rachel Zoe calls a “Major Must Have” is worth giving a shot.

Jockey and Rachel Zoe partnered to create this stylish, comfortable, solution-based apparel that has Rachel’s style and sophistication.

I was sent an assortment of shapewear and intimates from Rachel Zoe’s “Major Must Haves” from Jockey line. The first thing I grabbed was the Strappy Tank. Check out the patented three-panel design.

I figured it would be best to try it with my everyday wear, and I was very impressed with the results.

The top “befores” show some muffin lovin’, and the inevitable mom pooch. But the bottom “afters” show how the shapewear creates smooth lines and holds everything in place. It even made my shirt lay flat.

But the best part? It was comfortable. Like, surprisingly comfortable. But just to make sure, I wore it all day. And I didn’t die. I didn’t even hurt. It actually felt good and supportive.

Oh, and no oxygen tank required.

Then there is the Tummy Short. It rocks major all-day curve control so you can wear it under a pencil skirt or this season’s hot trend, the high-waisted pant. They have a two-ply tummy panel and a single-ply leg opening. I love that the leg is fitted enough to make my thighs look slimmer but without binding in a way that creates that lovely “I’m wearing shapewear” leg bulge.

The Slip Shaper is amazing. LBD approved. The top is a stretch cotton bodice just like the tank. It is loose enough to wear with your own bra and never squeezes to make you look like you have a uniboob. Just looking at the top, you’d think it was your favorite Jockey tee.

Slips in general have a tendency to ride up, but not this one. There’s a subtle silicone strip at the hem that keeps it in place. I felt like everything was so smooth and flat when I put the Slip Shaper on that I kinda wanted to walk the runway in it. If only Jockey could get me some longer legs…

In addition to the amazing line of shapewear, Rachel Zoe’s “Major Must Haves” from Jockey line also includes intimates. The bikinis, thongs, hipsters, boyshorts and tanks in fashion-forward colors and prints have that same perfect fit that the shapewear offers. The bottoms are a “cheeky” cut with a very modern silhouette. Nothing was bunching, squishing or riding. Just comfortable and well-fitted.

Rachel Zoe’s “Major Must Haves” from Jockey are available now in major retailers, Jockey outlet stores, and on Jockey.com.

This line is sure to fit your needs without compromising comfort or style. Whether you have a day full of meetings, a night on the town, or just want to feel and look your best on a daily basis, you won’t be disappointed.

When you are getting together that perfect outfit, remember: what’s underneath is just as important!

    I wish I had been wearing shapewear on a night out in the city I had with friends recently. It would have made my outfit more flattering.

    I wish I was wearing shapewear on our cruise to the Bahamas! I had the cutest dress on and even though my husband kept telling me that I looked amazing all I kept focusing on was the baby pooch from my 1 year old. I was so uncomfortable with how I felt I looked but hubby loved it so I kept it on! That dress was rockin' and I would love to feel like a skinny-minnie in it!

  14. Jess says

    I also could have used something a month after giving birth…I went to my cousin's wedding and wore the baggiest dress I could find to hide the baby weight. Looking back at pictures makes me wish I had some help to keep it all in!! 🙂

  17. Doreen says

    I have sort of skinny jeans, but right now am about 5 lbs. too much for them to look good. So, this would be a good time to wear shapewear!

  21. nina@themissadventuresofnina says

    After two kids I can use it too and lets face it, not the healthiest person in the world. Maybe this year i wont have to punch my Hubs cousin @ Thanksgiving for asking me in front of everyone "are you pregnant?!"
    Gotta find these pronto!

  23. Aislinn says

    I wish I had been wearing shape wear when I was the maid of honor and my BFF's wedding. I needed something to make my mom pouch more smoother!!

  26. Megs says

    I REALLY could use shape wear every day to hide my muffin tops for my daily wears. It would make them look more flatter in my tops!

  29. Tammy's Funky Flowers says

    Honestly I wish I was wearing shapewear everyday. I am a mommy to 5 kids and have a 4 month old. So I know all too well the mommy pooch and muffin top…ha. I have tried many things and most never work or are so uncomfortable you can't breath. I would LOVE to try this one! Thanks!!

  31. Saving Money Living Life says

    1. I just realized we have the SAME birthday. That is WILD!
    2. I was just at a blogger fashion event where the speaker was raving about this new line by Zoe. I would love to win!! I wished I'd had some today when I put on my jeans and long sleeve t with a cute snap wrap and boots. The t didn't fit how I wanted it to. 🙂

  33. B. Edge says

    I remember the day I was the matron of honor at my friends' very casual backyard vows. It was a beautiful day, but I felt very self-conscious of how I looked in my clothes. I picked something a little frumpy and too big because I didn't think I looked good enough in my 'nice' clothes. Mayb I should give these shapers a try!

  38. Heather says

    I wish I had shapewear last Fall, a couple of months after I had my son. I needed to buy the next size up in jeans. If I had shapewear I could have continued to wear my regular size.

  39. Megs says

    Oh man. I really could use a shapewear for daily outing. I hate that I am having hard time getting rid of my muffin tops. They are DEFINITELY NOT CUTE!

  40. Emerald M says

    I wish I had shapewear for my sister in law's wedding this summer. After having my second baby, I found it to be much harder to lose weight and tone up. I felt like a stuffed sausage in the wrong casing. lol

  41. Sharlene says

    Every day (and night!). While I can "hide" the muffin top look under layers during the winter, it's harder during summer!

    Let's face it, multiple kids nearly always leaves us Moms with saggy bits …

  42. Lisa Brown says

    I went to a business dinner a few years back and the dress I wore, definitely needed shapewear.
    Didn't look too bad, but I was not comfortable the entire night.

  49. Courtney B says

  51. Paige says

    When we had family photos after Bryar was born. I am pretty sure that I could of used shapewear for my post pregnancy chubby cheeks too 😉 ha!

  56. Kelly Massman says

    I pretty much wish I was wearing shape wear all of the time!!! I think I will want to wear it on my first cruise this December. Thanks for a chance to win and have a great day!

  57. Mrs in Training says

    Those shapewear shorts look like the perfect length, I definitely need a pair of those to wear oh, every day. Upper inner thigh is the one thing I can't quite cut post-baby!

  59. Mrs W says

    I would love some shapewear! As a new mom of a two week old, I would love to have this for the first date night with the hubby and not look like a flabby new mom.

  60. Chrissy Boerman says

    i need this.. My current spanks is almost see through.. I decided to not wear them once and was asked when i was due at least 4 times.. I am not pregnant and my youngest is 3!

  64. Teresa says

    I have a dress that I love, but haven't been able to wear because it hugs me in all the wrong places. I think that shapewear would allow me to finally wear it!

  68. Sara Swanson says

    After having a stroke & not being able to walk for many months, I would have died…oops…bad choice of words here! I would have LOVED to wear this shapewear. A double whammie! Hey! Look at me now! I can walk again, all by myself, I'm not falling down AND I look hot! What could be better than that?

  70. One Frugal Girl says

    I once went to a wedding and wore a very slinky dress. I was pretty young and fit at the time but shapewear certainly would have enhanced my assets.

  81. Karen says

    Family pictures! With two kids I also have nasty bulges in weird places. Would love for my outfit to lay down and people say "Wow, you look good", haha!

  84. ape2016 says

    I wish I had been wearing shapewear, post-baby at my son's Kindergarten Graduation. I was wearing this really cute jersey wrap-dress, but when I passed a window at the school I realized that I looked like a Shar-pei in a dress.

  89. Amy says

    Gosh…It was when I attend the highschool reunion party with a tight dress! How I wish to go back in time!

  91. ritzyroo says

    So…ummm..yeah the one major time I wished I had been wearing shapewear was when I was out shopping with my Mom about two weeks after my son was born. It was my first time out since the baby and my mom was treating me to a couple new things. I saw a girl that I went to high school with and she actually touched my "belly" and said "When's your baby due" Um…yeah I could have died right there..

  94. Molly says

    A few weeks after I had my second son, I threw a shower for a friend and the waitress at the shower said, "I didn't realize you we're pregnant, too!

  95. Sara says

    Would Love to have one of these to wear with all the cute skinny jeans this year while I am trying to loose these last 10 pounds I've gained since my wedding!

  101. Betty C says

    I searched and searched for a dress that would look like it actually fit me but no luck. I think shapewear would have the search easier and more successful.

    Oh man…shapewear would have been a godsend when I was a chubby tween attending dance recitals in skin tight leotards! LOL

    It's that time of year when we all get out and go places we don't necessarily get to at other times of the year — and I, for one, tend to need more, um, SUPPORT this year. For some reason or another. Perhaps Jockey shapewear is just what I be needin'.

  113. Anash says

    i wish I was wearing shapewear when I was just getting to know my husband! Thanks for a super giveaway!
