I admit it…I have on occasion channeled “Joe the Plumber” when reaching down to grab the kids, 
my bag, or a case of Coke Zero. It probably wouldn’t be so bad if I was channeling “Victoria’s Secret model” at the same time…but that never seems to happen. So, I found the perfect solution: The hip-T! Not only does this cute little garment prevent me from showing “bum cleavage”, but it also helps with that little bit of pooch I can never seem to get rid of, even with a ton of crunches…oh the joys of children. The hip-T is a tube of stretchy fabric that you pull over the waistband of your pants and it covers a little bit of tummy and a little bit below the waist band. I tested it out on jeans as well as run of the mill yoga and athletic pants, and the hip-T kept me from exposing more than I wanted to in all the pants I tried them out on. So just for that I love the hip-T! The fact that you can also make it look like you are doing the layering look without the 2 or 3 extra shirts is also a plus in my book…easy, practical, and fashionable YEAHY!
The hip-T comes in an array of colors, some having lace on the bottom and some not. I personally love the lace since it screams feminine, even when I might not be feeling it. Overall I think the hip-T is a great product: you don’t have to worry about “bum cleavage”, it provides the perfect amount of control for the dreaded muffin top without stifling you like a lot of “control garments” do, and it comes in a variety of colors to go with any outfit or to jazz up one of your oldies but goodies.
FYI- When you are trying to decide what size to get in the hip-T go down a size. What do I mean?
The Size Chart:
Xsmall = 0-2
Small = 4-6
Medium = 8-10
Large = 11-12
Xlarge = 14
1xLarge = 16-18
2xLarge = 20-22
I got a small since I am a size 6 (in some pants an 8), but I probably should have gotten an Xsmall, there is plenty of give in the fabric.

I would get either the basic in black or white so it would go with most outfits. I don't know what it is with my shirts, but they seem to shrink up lenghtwise and never width-wise. This would help to keep things under wraps. Thanks for the giveaway!
