In response to Kim Kardashian’s question - is shapewear with a pee hole better? we took to the streets to get real* honest answers from real American women. Come on!
*Ok, so we made this video with our friends, but these could double for real honest answers!
Enjoy…
We all know that shapewear and solutionwear is BETTER with a pee hole, BUT the pee hole is not perfect. That's why we created peeLUX - to make the pee hole foolproof!
What is peeLUX?
peeLUX is a small, lightweight easy to use adapter for the “pee hole” in shapewear that makes it easy and foolproof to use the ladies’ room while wearing shapewear without getting wet or undressed.
Insert peeLUX into the opening of your shapewear.
Make sure your shapewear is sitting above the peeLUX ridge and not touching your body.
Use the peeLUX handle to put pressure on peeLUX toward your rear while you "go" while seated on the toilet. Wipe as usual.
Remove and store peeLUX until next time.

Anyone who has worn shapewear for an extended period of time knows the torture of needing to use the restroom with them on. You wiggle out of them just in time to relieve yourself and then realize you have to wiggle back in to them to look polished again.
Some Spanx and shapewear have an easy to use (with a peeLUX) hole that allows you to simply squat and aim through it and skip the wiggling steps.
STEP 1:
Put your shapewear on. Identify the middle of your crotch area and take a sharpie marker and draw a dot. Next, extend the line 2” forward and 2” back (toward your bum) from that line. The line should run from front to back, not from one leg to the other.
STEP 2:
Take your shapewear off and and cut a 4” slit in the fabric. TIP: make a small cross-wise cut in folded fabric to establish a hole to start the scissors in and cut from there.
STEP 3:
Put the shapewear on and test the hole. Adjust by 1/2-1” on either end of the line to fine tune the placement.
STEP 4:
BONUS - Make peeing in shapewear foolproof! Insert peeLUX into the hole to ensure it fits, adjusting the size of the slit as needed, and to make your peeing accident free.
NOTES:
Altering a garment is always a risk. Use caution and measure twice and cut once.
We recommend purchasing shapewear with a pre-made gusset hole whenever possible as it comes with a flap of fabric that folds over the hole so you are not as exposed.
Peeing with shapewear is hard - practice before going out on the town for the first time!
It is widely known that the aesthetic reasons for getting a tummy tuck are numerous. A smoother, tighter, abdomen is the main reason most women opt for a tummy tuck. But in many cases the medical advantages can far outweigh the cosmetic reasons.
Here are just a few:
Improved Posture
Easier Exercise
Repairing the Ab Muscles and Closing Separation (Diastasis Recti)
Hernia Repair
Easing Urinary Incontinence Symptoms
For more information, see this article.
A Tummy Tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, tightens up loose muscles of the core and removes excess skin. It’s in the top 5 most common plastic surgery surgical procedures with almost 200,000 people electing for them each year.
As with any elective surgery it can be hard to decide if you really need it. It’s a major surgery that requires significant recovery time (4-14 weeks), so it’s best to really consider if it’s the right choice for you.
Here are a few reasons that tummy tucks can really make a difference in your life, and in some cases go from what may seem an “elective” surgery, to a “must”.
Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles, usually resulting from pregnancy. While often times the separation naturally repairs after birth, other women are stuck with a long road of physical therapy that will fully, partially, or sometimes never fully repair it.
Living with diastasis recti is not comfortable. Besides the look of still being pregnant in some cases, it can cause core weakness, an “eerie feeling” of your guts creeping out, and back pain from weak ab muscles. It can make doing certain forms of exercise difficult to impossible and often get worse as muscles naturally laxen over time.
If physical therapy and exercise doesn’t make the change you want after a year, a tummy tuck is a great, permanent way to close the gap and feel whole again in your core.
An added bonus is that if any excess skin and stretch marks exist, a tummy tuck can remove those too. As well as repair any possible hernias in the fascia wall.
While extreme weight loss can shrink bodies down to their ideal size, shape and body mass index, excess skin can be left behind, that is uncomfortable and awkward.
A tummy tuck is the best solution for removing the excess skin around the midsection and can be performed as part of a “body lift” if excess skin exists in other parts of the body.
Many women who have undergone a c-section are left with a “shelf” in the lower abdomen where a ropey scar holds up a small amount of excess skin that droops slightly over the scar.
A tummy tuck can smooth out this area by often times reusing the same scar location, but thinning it and smoothing the skin and flesh above it to form a smooth, taut abdomen.
Related but often separate to the reasons above, umbilical and other abdominal hernias which need surgical repair can be addressed during a tummy tuck. Often times pregnancy can lead to lax skin, umbilical hernia and diastasis recti, in which case a tummy tuck can address all three things in one procedure.
While a tummy tuck is not the best solution for simply slimming a waistline (liposuction, cool sculpting, diet and exercise are better options for this), it is a great solution for irreversible muscle laxness, skin tightening, scar removal and hernia repair.
It can restore a sense of wholeness and strength where prior a person’s core felt weak and vulnerable and while the recovery process can be lengthy, the results are long lasting.
** If you do decide to get a tummy tuck, be sure to be prepared. You will be prescribed shapewear to wear post-op, and peeLUX is designed to help you use the ladies’ room without pulling it down over the sensitive stitches.
