I Tried Kim Kardashian's Double Spanx Trick For A Day
Turns out body shapers are the devil.
Hey guys, Nina here. Like pretty much everyone, I'm insecure about my body sometimes.
Some days I totally love my body and am amazed by it, and some days I wish it looked different. The area that I'm most insecure about is probably my belly. I've got a little stomach pooch (that I suck in for most photos, including this one). I'm not ashamed of it, but when you're constantly fed images of women with flat and toned tummy areas as the ideal, you start to think your gut might not be adequate.
Because of this, I tend to stay away from bodycon dresses and other clothes that might reveal my lumps. If I wear anything that's tight around my midsection, I cover it up with a jacket or a shirt tied around my hips (as pictured above).

Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, LOVES bodycon outfits. She recently revealed on her app that one of her tricks when she feels "heavier" is wearing "two pairs of body shapers on top of each other."

For reference, here's me in a tight bodycon dress with no Spanx, one pair of Spanx, and two pairs of Spanx!
