A recent trend I’ve been seeing lately is the process of using wraps to lose weight. After having my son, I worked very hard to lose the baby weight and have been working on maintaining it for the past several years, but my tummy could definitely use some toning up. I saw this wrap from Thin Botanicals and thought, why not?
I am kind of skeptical about trying out new fads but here is my honest opinion of this product and how it works:
*Warning! I am going to post before and after pics of my belly to show you the actual results because I want you to know the truth. And yes, I know how pale I am but I am not going to be held responsible if you go blind. You’ve been warned.*
It comes in a pack of 5 belly wraps. You apply the product to your tummy like a sticker and there is a hole for your navel. The first time I tried it, I put it on upside down, but you will want the longer portion below your belly button. I am short but have a fairly long torso. I don’t know if one size really fits all, but on me, it covered the areas I needed it to. It has a very pleasant scent. Sort of like a cinnamon herbal infusion. You are supposed to wear it for 6-8 hours a day every 2 days. So after wearing it upside down on my first day it was time to take it off. Holy mother of pearl, that thing hurt to pull off. If you have any hair on that portion of your body, you won’t after you take it off.
But I have a tip that I accidentally discovered with the 2nd use that I will share with you. So the 2nd time I tried the product, I again put it on upside down. *I never said I was bright* But I took a closer look at the picture and realized I did it all wrong. So I removed the wrap (which doesn’t hurt after you immediately apply it) and put it on correctly.Read more ›
