Sometimes, when nothing in my closet seems to look good, and all is wrong with the world, the problem can be fixed by making my butt look better. Think about it if you're pregnant or nursing, your breasts are as bountiful as they can be, and either your tummy is unavoidably big and taut (pregnant) or its unavoidably, well, puffy, but you can hold the baby in front of it (nursing), but many of our fashion flaws stem from the need to cover our lumpy, larger-than-we-remember asses.

That need is responsible for many of the shapeless, long, baggy schmattes that we sport on a daily basis. I mean, I no longer feel so comfy in a thong, and I have yet to find a pretty cotton panty that didn't announce its shape to the world. So solve those issues and save the world with Spanx, a revolution invented by a woman like you. Wear these instead of undies and your butt will be so amazing, you wont want or need to cover it up. And don't tell me yours is too big to be exposed…there's a man for every tush out there, as long as it looks smooth and firm!!

The Spanx motto: don't worry, we've got your butt covered!
