Note: I am a big fan of Spanx, and was excited to try Assets, but did not find my size when I went to my local Avenue store in NYC. Ladies, I'd love to know what you think about Assets. Do they compare to Spanx?--Ms. Aja B.

In my opinion Assets are more like a control top pantyhose. If you are looking for minimum hold then it will work for you, but if you are looking for maximum hold then stick with spanx.
I know that I can't be the only person that hates Spanx. And was equally as disappointed by Assets.
IMO, Spanx stop at all the wrong spots, such as cutting across the belly. Or the ones that are supposed to stop just under your bra roll down or don't stay put.
@ Brandi: I had a similar experience with Spanx, but I found that with the one that is supposed to be high-waisted, sometimes it helps to get a size up (if you can). You will still get some good foundation, but it will stay in place. Also, what I do is put my Spanx on first and put my bra over the high-waist one. That usually helps keep it in place.
I will try and find out exactly which one I bought and found was great b/c there was one I tried that I couldn't stand at all.
