You are late for that hoiday party so you grab your favorite sexy dress jeans, pour yourself into them, and bam, muffin top! Oprah calls muffin top "Dunlap syndrome" . "That's when your stomach done lap over your jeans," she jokes. Muffin Top is not exclusively a question of weight or even fat distribution in women. Even skeleton-thin models employ this trick. Thanks to Spandex body armor, girls, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Or muffins.

You can thank Sara Blakely, an ingenious entrepreneur, who invented Spanx one night when she cut the feet out of her pantyhose to wear with white pants and open-toed shoes. Spanx-you, Sara! Spanx has a Hide-n-Sleek line and Body Shapers that smooth out every nook and cranny of your muffin top.
