“Didn't Do a Thing for Me”
I noticed there are no reviews on body wrapping, and I even tried to find reviews through a web search before I scheduled the appointment. I was curious about this after seeing a segment on TV that this type of Body Wrapping (I think the brand is Slender Wrap) is guaranteed to take inches off permanently. I did not go into this procedure with high expectations. I am basically close to the weight I want to be and exercise and eat very well, but I thought it would be nice to firm up a bit more and maybe to "compact" myself a bit...if I lost 1/4 to 1/2 inch in my thighs or waist I would consider it worth it.
The procedure consisted of being measured all over, being wrapped in ace bandages that have been soaked in this mineral solution which is supposed to be cleansing. You then get on an exercise machine for 3 15 minute increments with 5 minutes in the sauna and bastings in between. The bandages are taken off and voila, you are supposed to have lost all these inches. The procedure itself took almost 2 hours (a big chunk of time to sacrifice out of your day!). It was not uncomfortable really but was of course awkward to try to move around tightly wrapped in bandages. It also got a little cold at times.
When I was measured just after, I has lost basically 1/4 inch in my thighs and 1/4 inch in my waist. Since they take about 15-20 measurements, the technician proudly announced that I'd lost 8 inches overall. I followed the after care instructions and measured myself ove rthe course of the next few days only to find that my measurements went back to exactly what they were before the wrap.
I would consider this a total waste of money. I knew I was taking a chance, and I was very skeptical about how this could possibly work. I should have followed my instinct. I was surprised that I didn't see more reviews from real people on this procedure.

Has anyone tried the "IT Works!" product?
I have to say since I have a very true success story with the suddenly slender body wraps that reviews are great and all but one should try it before judging! I went from spending thousands of dollers on LA weightloss just to lose 5 lbs in a year and a half and have people tell me I must be cheating....why would I spend tons of money to cheat?!?!?! I tried working out 6 times/week and eating very very healthy plus I am a dance teacher so being active and eating healthy has ALWAYS been a part of my life! I found that nothing seemed to be helping me. So I sucked it up and tried Sudden;t slender THE body wrap and in 3 short months went from a size 15 to a comfortable size 9!!! I have only done a few maintenance wraps since then and still feel amazing! So if you're doubting the body wraps, do yourself a favor and reserch them before you commit! Some body wraps have inch loss claims but all it is, is dehydrating you!!! Suddenly Slender body wraps are detoxifying and remineralizing plus you're active!! The Health and Wellness Spa did not put me in a sauna nor did they encourage me to sweat. They base it on circulation not on over heating!!! Just a piece of mind for those of you wanting to try it out :)
It is not about spending a ton of money, it is about not wanting to go to the gym and not wanting to eat right. We all know how to lose weight, we all know we should work out and we should not put that twinkie in our mouth. But, when you get to the fact at hand, most people do not want to do without that twinkie or go to the gym and sweat. It boils down to lack of motivation and looking for an easy fix. Looking for a bandaid to fix a bad habbit.... and just like a bandaid, it is temporary. Lifestyle changes last, bandaids dont.
Just for the sake of experimenting.
I'm not doing it to expect a miracle,
But I believe in trying anything once.
Although i prefer natural methods to the random stuff us humans come up with, still i think good on you people that have tried and been happy.
Who ever says that they work out and eat a perfect diet and still have inches to lose, please prove to me how that is possible.
I have super bad circulation and supposed to be prone to cellulite but i work out and eat well and have managed to beat that.
I reckon with exercise, find what works for you, if you don't see results work harder.
Same thing with the diet(by diet i mean the real meaning of it, things you consume on a daily basis not a name for things you deny), if you don't speed up your metabolism and burn the stuff you consume then you will naturally gain weight.
When you look at models and celebrities at a point of their best, They did not only work their butts off to get that body but ate super well.
So don't give me any of this in her genes.
Yes its rare but at times unfortunately some of these lucky people have a gift that's hereditary.
But for the rest of us normal people i suggest we stop shoving those disgusting protein bars down our throats and eat whole foods like fruits and veggies and even join a fancy cooking class to improve your skills in the kitchen. Make eating and cooking fun rather then count every calorie.
And as for this, i hope it has some sort of result, If it doesn't then i guess it's not for me.
But i guess it'd be pretty cool to think that you can burn fat by doing nothing.

But the ingredients are all natural. Hope it's OK to put a link. You can see an ingredient list here: http://www.apennyforyourwraps.com/how-the-wraps-work It's just putting the power of botanicals to a new use. :-)
Really? I'd love to hear how you do it! How long do you leave it on, do you cover it with anything, etc. It sounds like you are getting good results!
