Let's be honest ladies, shapewear is the actual worst. Squeezing ourselves into something that mildly resembles sausage casing just so our lumpy bits don't stick out in a dress should be considered some sort of torture. Seriously, it's better to just let it all hang out. And if this hilarious post is any indicator, we should all just chuck them all into the garbage immediately. In the video, mom blogger Laura of Knee Deep in Life, shows us what could happen when our shapewear goes awry. One of the main reasons that it is so funny for us...it's so true to life!

After seeing the shapewear advertised on Facebook, she was excited to try it. The videos on these ads are incredibly deceiving; the women in the video seem to slide the thing on with no problem. So naturally, you think that it will be the same thing in real life. At the start of the video, Laura's excitement at the potential for a "stomach of Jennifer Lopez" is palpable. But then the excitement quickly turns to nerves when she holds up the shapewear. It is alarmingly small, even though she admits that she was advised to get a smaller size than she actually wears. However, this does look like it will be snug. Realizing it's not that much smaller than her stomach is, she notices that it is likely the size of her thigh.

Spoiler alert, the shapewear fits her thigh quite comfortably. That should have been the first sign that things were about to go horribly awry. After throwing caution to the wind, she begins to slide the shapewear up her body. The further up her body she gets, the more difficult it becomes for her. And the funnier it becomes for us as the viewer. After getting it about midway up her thighs, she has actually run out of breath. Some people would have stopped there, but Laura continued to persevere through the increasingly obvious difficulty. At one point, she tugs so hard she puts a hole near the top.

But nothing prepares any of us for what happens when she finally gets it all over her waist. Instead of making her look smooth and unlined, the whole thing rolls up, cutting off her midsection. While it looks like the shapewear is actually beginning to cut into her stomach, she calls to her kids for help. Naturally, they completely ignore their mother's pleas for help.

“You’ll be pleased to know my children’s eye sight was not permanently damaged, mainly because the little sods didn’t even come to my aid. I did eventually escape, lost my pants in the process and my belly button no longer looks like a vagina,” she told Scary Mommy.

Fearing crushing her internal organs and looking like she was actually going to pass out, Laura compared her bellybutton to a "tiny vagina" before signing off to presumably find a crowbar or a scissor. The video is seriously one of the most relatable and hilarious five minutes on the internet right now.
