Hi,
By girdle style with eyelets - I am assuming you mean a waist cincher like flexees style 6868.
Girdle styles like these offer firm control and great support - but are bulky under clothes. If you are wearing something that clings to your body, this bodyshaper may show.
Hosiery styles can offer firm control and will be less visible than the traditional girdle. Spanx offers Power Panty style 004 and Higher Power style 032. These are hosiery shapers without the leg. To better describe it, they are the control top of the panty hose without the hose.

If you want to wear pantyhose and need the firm control top - I would recommend Spanx style 131. This style is high waisted that ends up just below your bra line. This will eliminate any chance of love handles or muffin tops peeking out.

Its great to wear a shaping hosiery because it eliminates the need to wear 2 garments - a shapewear brief and pantyhose.
Hope this helps.
Heather
