BOth times my sisters got married I had to help them with their poofy dresses while they peed not a fun thing but somthing only a sister can do and they will do it for me.
if you get the kind that has a shorts type bottom, most of them have a slit in the crotch so you can open it up and pee without taking the whole thing off. if this seems a little weird to you (it kind of did to me), you can get the kind that is just like a slip with a skirt type bottom.
i've had a few of the slip type ones. nancy gantz bodyslimmers was good, underwire cups. flexees was good too, very controlling but only comes with padded, push-up-y cups. recently ordered one by body wrap from www. barenecessities.com which was super slimming (the thing was 6" wide when i pulled it out of the package) but so tight around the top that it squeezed too much of me out for a quite unattractive look with the strapless dress i would be wearing it with.

the slit does seem weird. but that flexees looks like what i need. i'm going to order both, i guess and see which one works. i'm assuming they are almost necessary unless you are gisele bundchen, right?

For some reason being a bride makes you loose a little dignity in this arena. I have had to help my friends pee numerous times and it is what good friends do, so I am sure your friends will help out also. But if you did get something like spanx power panties, you would be able to handle pulling them down yourself versus having your friends do it.

MOms can work too or aunts or pretty much anyone. Even with the style of dresses you are looking at you are going to want help.

Haha. I feel like crotchless panties aren't really typical wedding attire.
