You might see a temporary change for an event (though not everyone does and some people have the opposite reaction). But for long-term, actual fat loss? No, they don't work.0

I'd say they're good for an event, or if you're going to be somewhere like an amusement park. I say amusement park because you're going to be on rides and you need to comfortably fit in the seat and restraints.0 -
You know what they are good for? Firming the skin up and making it soft at the same time. I swear! I do one that involves gentling scrubbing on Epsom salts and coconut oil, then wrapping my middle section in clingfilm then sitting for about an hour with a heating pad or hot water bottle. You're sweating out excess water, so depending on you weight situation you could TEMPORARILY go down an inch or two round your tummy. I don't do it for that though, I have a long way to go with my weight loss but the feeling it gives me skin is great!0

I went to a party for an It Works rep just as a favor for a friend and didn't notice any difference at all. I wouldn't buy them.0

I'm a licensed esthetician...wraps are good for a short term effect and results will vary . They are not a long term or ongoing fix0
