Which are the best for sucking up your tummy? Bum and thighs ok (comparatively), just the waist & hips area that's the problem. Would something like this just roll up at the top and bottom?...

I just don't like it. It looks too big and out of place, and it isn't comfy. It is very padded, how long before it flattens out a bit and becomes as comfy as the one in the shop? ?

Bit of a long story but I'll try and keep it brief. 2 years ago our factor (glasgow housing association) overruled us and reclad and reroofed our block of flats, we voted against the work as we...
