body wrapping yourself... alternative! - 14-01-07, 11:07 PM

Ive had an idea... Instead of having to wrap yourself up, apply whatever contour cream you use, and then put on one of those magic body control things, you know like the big pants?! lol. you could do it before bed and just leave them on. They would have to be really tight tho. and my body wrap makes you need the toilet, so i might wet the bed, lol.

Ive just ordered sum big control pants, that go from under your boobs to ur knees, so im gonna give it a go, what a sight that will be.

...before any of you ask, no i wont post pictures! lol.

Has anyone tried this? any opinions or suggestions for me?

very interesting theory!!! Maybe not a good idea to do it when you go to bed if you will have to keep going to the toilet, perhaps try doing it when you have the house to yourself, draw the curtains and put a good film on while the wrap gets to work!!

Let us know how it goes!!

well its supposed to push the toxins and lymph to your bladder wheres its excreted. so you should need the loo afterwards. but unless you have a weak bladder i think you'd be ok! lol.

god yeah!!

The biggest inch loss ive got from a client was a size 14/16 lady, lost 16 inches.

The lowest is 6 inches off a size 6 client!! lol.

It works on areas of soft fat, the cream is aromatherapy based (i use bellitas strictly professional) and it enters the skin to stimulate blood/lymphatic flow and break down fat cells, the compression from the bandages then squeezes all the toxins and lymph out of you.

they dont all work on this principle. some draw the toxin out of your body through the skin i think.

IMO these wraps are great to have before you go to a party etc. but they do not give you long term results, the only way to slim properly is good old fashioned exercise and healthy diet.
But like i say, for a quick fix to fit into that LBD they are great!!

Hi hun,

Have you not thought about cling filming yourself?

It'll be much easier than hoiking a big pair of tight (and those babies you're talking about are t-i-g-h-t) pants on, which will probably push most of the cream off as you're pulling them on, and they're likely to absorb the cream too.

If you cling film yourself (keeping the cling film on the roll until you're finished, then tearing off) you can keep the tautness required to get good results. It will also keep everything toasty warm (which, depending on the cream you're using, might aid results) and won't absorb any of the cream, leaving more for your wobbly bits!

Just a suggestion

Thanks Amy,
but the cream i use is absorbed pretty much instantly, its an aloe vera gel base, so it wouldnt rub off. Im going to sleep in it so im not so sure about the cling film idea either, i might end up like a prune lol. yak.

I cant wait to try it, i was thinking about doing it every night depending the results i get from the first time.

Ah I use Universal Contour Wrap, so my advice was along the lines of what would work best if trying to wrap yourself with that (lovely gooey mud yum!).

Good luck hun! Hope there's not a fire in the night
