Katy Perry thinks wearing Spanx make her more relatable.

The singer, 28, says she has no regrets about admitting last weekthat she often wears the shape-wear to help fit into her skin-tight latex dresses.

She said she wears Spanx because she is too lazy to work out andwants her fans to know she is just like them.

She told OK! Magazine after being crowned woman of the year at the Billboard Women in Music Awards luncheon yesterday: "Um, I don't care because I'm ok with myself. I think every woman does stuff like that anyways, all the time.

"I think one of! my favourite moments is seeing like a hot girl dancing in a club, and then accidentally seeing her Spanx.

"People don't want to look up - they want to look across at someone. They want to feel like 'hey, that's my girl. I relate to your song. Maybe I felt something like that, but I didn't have the words to capture that moment like the Katy Perry song'."

The Part of Me singer, who is currently dating John Mayer, previously admitted she has recently toned down her exercise routine.

"I like to say I run on the elliptical for 30 minutes watching CNN, but I don't do it often enough," she said.

"So I'm just like, 'oh, I guess I'm not fitting into this Lanvin dress for these couple of months'."
