WITH Christmas just around the corner, many of us will be indulging in everything from chocolate to mince pies and a cheese board.<\/p>\n
But if you're still hoping to fit into that figure-hugging party frock, then shapewear could just be the perfect answer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
However, with so many available on the market at all different price ranges, how do you know which is really <\/em>worth your money?<\/p>\n Well, a woman named Christina decided to put shapewear from Spanx, Kim Kardashian's brand Skims and Primark to the test to find an answer once and for all. <\/p>\n In the clip posted to TikTok (@christinatblaney), she begins by asking: "Which is better, Skims or Spanx?"<\/p>\n She then explains how she purchased a pair of Skims shorts and a pair of Spanx shorts, which cost around \u00a340 each. <\/p>\n "Both are wildly expensive but I want to see which one is best First up is Spanx, with Christina noting that she's usually a size 12 but has sized down to an 8-10.<\/p>\n FABULOUS VEGAS: JOIN TO CLAIM \u00a3100 BONUS<\/strong> PLUS 50 FREE SPINS<\/p>\n "It was a challenge getting them on, but my God, already I can tell these are going to be banging," she says.<\/p>\n Pointing at her tummy, she enthuses: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, where's that gone?<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Absolutely sensational!<\/p>\n "These are really comfy, the material's nice and thin as well…they also have this sticky bit at the top, which stops them from falling down."<\/p>\n Next up, she pulls herself into the Skims shapewear, which she ordered in a size small.<\/p>\n "Right, the Skims are a lot harder to get on," she explains. "However, the support is sensational.<\/p>\n "They're a little bit see through, but who cares? It's shapewear! No one's going to see it.<\/p>\n "There's also a hole in the crotch, which I actually love She continues: "And again, absolutely sensational! The shape difference is just amazing."<\/p>\n Christina then throws in a last minute curveball and compares the pricier options to her much loved Primark ones, which she has in a size medium.<\/p>\n "Now I've worn these to death, so they are a bit stretched," she says. <\/p>\n "But tell me that doesn't give the same sort of look…what do you think? <\/p>\n "If anything, they're comfier, it's still smooth, it's still flattened…maybe not as much as the other two.<\/p>\n "And the fact is I paid \u00a312 for these ones and I've paid almost \u00a340 for the Skims and the Spanx."<\/p>\n She concludes: "Spanx and Skims are great products and make you look fantastic, but so are the cheap versions as well, so it just depends on your budget.<\/p>\n Christina captioned the post: "Do we think they are worth \u00a340 a pair?"<\/p>\n The post quickly went viral, garnering a whopping 75k views and several comments from social media users.<\/p>\n "The shapewear knickers and shorts from Primark and Tesco do exactly the same thing for a fraction of the price I always buy them," wrote one.<\/p>\n A second penned: "Think the Spanx give you the best shape."<\/p>\n A third commented: "Th\u00e9 skims one make you look natural but the Spanx give you figure."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fourth noted; "I\u2019ve had my original Spanx for almost 18 years and they are still going."<\/p>\n Another added: "The last pair seems to make you flatter. Thanks for the comparison! Love it!"<\/p>\nREAD MORE ON FASHION<\/h2>\n
