Leonisa Postpartum Shapewear {Review and Giveaway}

I will be the first to admit that I am a small person. I am five feet tall and my head has served as an arm rest for many people who thought they were the first ones to make that joke. In high school and college, I could (and frequently did) eat whatever I wanted and never worried about my weight.

Then life happened. And by life I mean three kids, a sedentary job, and a slower metabolism. My actual weight hasn't gone up terribly, it has just rearranged itself into less desirable places. My stomach and abs have had a really hard time recovering from this:

2 days past due with Benjamin

Don't get me wrong. I'm very proud of my body for doing what it did; namely carry and nurture three babies. At 8 lbs. 3 oz, 8 lbs, 10oz, and 7 lbs, 6oz, they weren't small babies. They were also a total of 20 days overdue (10, 12, and 8 days). That womb must have been pretty cozy!

Cozy, but huge!

Back to the present, though. I'm not ashamed of my post-baby body. I don't plan on wearing a bikini any time soon. But I never actually wore a bikini anyway, except maybe in high school. I really just want my pants to fit without having to suck it in all day!

circa 1995? Those were the days!

I was recently offered a chance to review some post-partum shapewear from Leonisa. I'll be honest, at first I thought, I am WAY too POST-partum to have a need for this, but then I thought about it some more, looked around their website, and decided to give it a try.

I got a pair of leggings and I have been really impressed with them. They don't feel tight or restrictive, but they do hold things in for me. I've worn them as leggings, both under a dress and while working out. I've worn them under my pants a few times too, which is especially nice (and warm) with all the cold weather we've been having. They are comfortable to wear and don't slide down all day.
