I also have the Spanx Higher Power one. I like it since it helps deal with the upper part of my tummy (above my belly button) that some of the other styles that start at the waist don't. Putting it on is a bit like stuffing yourself into a small sausage casing....but once it's on it's fairly comfortable. I don't usually wear mine for more than a few hours though so I can't speak to its ease of bathroom use.
