Belly AFTER baby

Has anyone tried any shape-wear they like to smooth things out? I dont want anything that you velco - just something comfortable under clothes that is also not super $. I'm just looking to have a smoother shape under shirts, so many of my tops are tight because I'm petite and normally have a flat tummy- this is my second baby so I knew I'd have this again but its nice to hide it a bit better if you know what I mean!

I use my higher power spanks. I really wish I knew a tank or something though. Having it dig in my ribs is pretty uncomfortable but it looks good :

I got Trendy Tops (like the ones on the infomercials) for christmas, and to my surprise I adore them for my post baby belly. They hide all the uck while I try to recoup my old belly.

I actuallly found that the shape wear drew attention to my belly.  It smoothed it out, but it still didn't make it look flat.  I think it depends on your body.  Target sells a cheaper variety of Spanx if you're looking for something to try...

I just tried shapewear for the first time today. It is just what I was looking for until I can firm up the squish. It took away my muffin top. Sure it didn't make me much skinnier, but it smoothed things out so that I could wear a more form fitting top without being too self conscious. I got it cheap off Zulilly.

I've been wearing Spanx under almost everything. It doesn't make me skinnier, but does smooth things out so I feel better about form fitting clothes...which is like everything I own right now. Sigh. I also got a "mother tucker" tank top when I got my belly bandit. I grew out of the belly bandit quickly, but I love the tank. It doubles as a cami so you don't have to wear a ton of layers with your shape wear. It is pretty spendy for a tank top, but I wear it everyday I don't wear my spankx.
