    It's a bunch of crap... I used one 2 weeks ago and did exactly what the girl who sold it to me said to do. Drink a lot of water... blah blah blah. Well, all that really happened was I got sick to my stomach for 2 days. I did not lose weight or inches. Luckily, I had traded her some clothing items for the wrap, so I am not out any money. I wouldn't do it.

    This is why the diet market is a billion dollar business..
  • I will gladly give you my paypal account, since you're wasting your money, I could use some!

    Toxins are crap - you're body naturally gets rids of toxins in it's own way- you don't need a wrap to do it, otherwise we'd all be wrapping, and as you can tell, clearly most of us know this is a marketing scheme and complete bull****.

    Rule of thumb - "if it sounds good to to be true, it IS too good to be true!"

    I don't think it's fair to compare the wraps to a bunch of crap. I can easily lose 1lbs evacuating my bowels, not so much with the wraps.

    OP save your money, lay a brick instead.

    Jamie, it's a waste of your cash. There's really no way to get there without a calorie deficit. This will just make you sweat in the areas where you are wrapped.

    A friend and I used to do the same thing when we were in the Navy, and it got close to time for measurements to check your BF%. We went the cheaper route, and wrapped our midsections with saran wrap for a couple of days before measuring, and we could lose a little waist size. It was purely water weight. It came back as soon as we started drinking again and rehydrated.

    As for the toxins, it's a no go as well. Yes, you may lose substances when you sweat, but the majority of your filtering is done by your liver and kidneys. Sweat may have a little urea in it, but it's mostly water, with a bit of salt. Excessive sweating it out can actually cause you to retain toxins. When you lose water, and dehydrate, there is a hormonal tide started that causes your kidneys to see less flow to retain water. This prevents your kidneys from actually filtering the toxins into your urine.

    The name of this product is the equivalent of giving a tall person the nickname "Shorty".

    I tried 3 wraps. I lost an inch around my stomach each time after the first two wraps. On the 3rd wrap, I didn't drop any inches so I didn't get anymore after that. I never gained the inches back. No weight loss at all.

    Ok, yea that sounds about right. Well hopefully it will help me feel bikini ready for my vacation :-)))
    My mother in law use to sell them and do the treatments in home. It is perfect for getting bikini ready for a vacation or losing those last few inches to get into a wedding/prom dress. A few hours in a sauna produces about the same affect.

    Anything call "IT WORKS" does not work. Rule of thumb.
