Connie Elder began developing products with real women in mind, in 2000. She has been the on air spokesperson on the shopping channel QVC for
Lipo in a Box since 2002. Just two years ago, Connie introduced her fabulous line of Go2Bras and Underology Skin Care on QVC.
Products from Connie Elder International have been featured in magazines such as Glamour, MORE, First for Women, "O" Magazine, and more. They have also been featured on the Today Show, The Early Show, The View, and even twice on the Oprah Winfrey Show. If Oprah likes it, you know it must be awesome. ;o)
I personally love Connie's passion for charity. She cares very deeply for several, and serves on the board of directors for
Soles4Souls, and the
YWCA Nashville Domestic Violence Center. Each year, she donates a percentage of the profits from the Connie Elder International family of products to those great causes as well as to organizations for breast cancer research.
Recently I was given the opportunity to try out a few of Connie Elder's products. A bodysuit from their Lipo in a Box line as well as a set from the Go2Bras line.*
I have given birth to two children, and they are the loves of my life, but they were both in the ten pound range (9lbs 13oz and 10lbs 13oz, thank-you-very-much) and my body will neverrr be the same. I am okay with that, but sometimes when I put on a dress I want a smoother silhouette. I was a bit skeptical that the bodysuits from Lipo in a Box could really deliver, but after watching a few of the videos on their website I was interested (and Connie just seems so sweet!). I was still a bit skeptical when I pulled the
bodysuit with underwire out of the package and found that it seems similar to control top panty-hose in material. These, however, are NOTHING like control top panty-hose. These bodysuits are incredibly comfortable. I can wear mine all day and completely forget I even have it on, it smooths out my figure just enough, while not really changing my shape. You know how sometimes things that are meant to control one area, can sort of push it out into another area? That doesn't happen with these. I really could not believe how comfortable this was, and there was no shifting once I got it on, unlike the rolling down that a control top might do. You can't even tell you're wearing it under your clothes. I actually wish I had known about these after I had my daughters as well because of the support that the bodysuit gives.
As far as
Go2Bras, well they aren't playing around with their name! I can definitely say now that I have tried one, I want to buy the entire line. After changing my mind a million times as to which style I like the best (they are all beautiful), I finally decided on the "Sarah" bra and panty set.
The "Sarah" Bra is embroidered in luxurious unlined mesh fabric creating a sexy semi-demi underwire bra that provides lift, shaping and support. A single dart in the lower half of the bra provides lift and a beautiful silhouette in your clothes.
The "Sarah" Panty is a moderate rise bikini panty with modesty back coverage. Leg opening trimmed with a comfortable, yet beautiful two toned lace. It is made of a stretch mesh for a great fit and I found the "Sarah" set to be very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Go2Bras for quality and comfort.
