Does it really work?

No.

no.

I think most doctors and experts agree that this type of weight loss is impossible. Your genetic profile has more to do with where you lose weight than anything else. I know I was stupid enough to buy one of electric stimulation belts when I was in my early twenties. It was supposed to turn a flabby stomach into a rock hard washboard without leaving the couch. I actually received a check from a class action law suit , that I didn't even know I was a part of, for false advertising. Best advice is forget about the gimmicks and fad diets and do what you know works, diet and exercise.

Yes!

Just kidding. Come on, seriously?

If they really worked...would you have to ask if they really work?

Everybody would use them if they lived up to what they are 'suppose' to do...

I personally use a waist trimming belt that I got from wal mart fot 5 bucks during my workouts. To me it has been working because my mid-section is getting smaller and smaller. When I'm done and take it off it's covered in sweat and my mid-section stays hot for a couple of hours afterwards. I was wanting to try the thigh slimmer as well. For some it may not work....but for me it does...but not alone...only during my high cardio sessions!!!

Plastic wrap does the exact same thing...

Let's not suggest dangerous methods, ok?

No, they don’t work. If you are already working out then your stomach and thighs are going to get naturally smaller, with or without some piece of neoprene wrapped around it.

If anything, I would say that they can actually do more harm than good. I had a hematoma on my thigh last year that was painful to run with because of how much it moved around. I bought a package of “thigh slimmers” with the sole purpose of using it as an easier way to apply pressure to the area to keep the hematoma from moving while I ran since I found that ACE bandages didn’t stay in place well due to how high I had to wrap them to fully cover the injured area.

Since the injury was only on my right thigh, I only ever wore one at a time. I wore it while strength training, while running and while doing my non-running cardio. Basically, anytime I was working out, I had it on as a compression wrap. And I always took off a super sweaty, soaked through, wrap at the end of each workout.

What I discovered happening was that my right leg wasn’t strengthening at the same pace as my left. When the wrap wasn’t on, I could feel an unevenness in the muscles if I was climbing stairs or jogging somewhere in a non-workout capacity. And once the hematoma was healed, I stopped wearing the wrap when I worked out and that’s when I really noticed the difference. I couldn’t even stand up evenly when doing squats because my right leg was so much weaker than my left. And the muscles on my right always got tired much faster when I was running and would start getting that lactic burn sooner in a workout.

I also did some measurements at one point along the way and discovered that while my left thigh had decreased in size from my last measurement, my right thigh had increased. It took me months without the wrap to finally feel like my right leg was really feeling more on par with my left leg and my right thigh measurement is just finally back to being inline with where I'd expect it to be.

Needless to say, I threw the things out at the soonest chance I had and hope to never have one on again.

These belt do actually work. Don't listen to most of these people. You wear these belts as you work out though, you cannot just sit around an wait for magic to happen. They help you loose water weight, burn more calories during a cardio work out and keep your mussels warm. Most boxes advertise that it helps trim your appearance instantly! But that instantly part will be about 1 cm, sorry. use these during cardio work outs and they will help you just like wearing ankle weights will too.

If I want my mussels to be warm, I'll put them in the oven with a little butter.
