  • 8 Dec 2007

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.

Great review?

You lost some water weight basically. The process they put you through is where you lose the weight and size. MMA fighters do the same thing to make weight for a fight. Exercising and Saunas will do that regardless of being wrapped up or not.

I have gotten a body wrap before it was the best thing ever! Let me explain something first. A body wrap does NOT make u lose weight. U stay the same weight u were before. Wat it does is tighten ur skin so u measure a smaller number. I did the body wrap because my body was a rectangle. I had no shape at all. So it basically sculpted me a small waistline to show. Now I have always been a chubby girl. All my life I have been a size 12. Now I am a size 14. My stomach looks different so I have ordered the "perfect body wrap lite " off a groupon. I am going to try it this Friday I hope to get the same results that I did before at the spa at home. I will post a review for that.

Hey tonya, I tried one for the first time (overnight) and drank 2 water bottles before going to bed. It didn't give me any results :( I was really hoping to see a difference. Maybe since im not a BIG water drinker , but ill finish the pack I guess and drink more water ...

This is to all trying to loose weigh and keep your body cleansed. Try the Rasberry Ketone pills as on the Dr. Oz show. read about it and see what you think. Some are expensive and some are cheap to purchace. Look for Rasberry ketone Pure. Not only will it help you loose from 3-5 pounds in a single week but it is healthy and it's good for your brain. Look on ebay and find it cheap there. Start at 100mg of ketone twice a day. You will love the results.

No one advocates you sit on your butt and eat bon bons. I always encourage a healthy lifestyle. But you CAN NOT get the same results in 72 hours with diet and exercise. It's a boost. Photos don't lie. I wrapped my arms last April and lost an inch on each arm. It has NEVER come back, that is because I have included wise choices. But I sure didn't mind the kickstart.

Come on now, all you xxxxx touting that this works wonders. As the reviewer stated, it's total BS.
Do you seriously think you can lose weight with out dieting and working out?

No wonder it works, it works because you are so desperate to lose inches without any effort that you fool yourselves.
All of these + reviews that fight the reviewer are just pyramid sellers scheming to get you money.

Use your brain, if it's too good to be true, it is.
Wake up people.

I am no schemer nor trying to sell anything. I'm simply putting my personal experience here. You can either try it or not. I don't care.Like I said before, I eat healthy and do some excersice on top of taking care of my skin.It just takes a little time. It is work but I don't over do it. I went from a size 8 to a 5 in 3 months and that was from doing all those things I mentioned.

These pro reviews look like they were written by the SAME person using MANY aliases.....This "Crazy Wrap Thing" has ALL the earmarks of "Snake Oil", that doesn't do a darn thing except get fat people to HOPE they can also get the same AMAZING results, as these "Real" people did....A stereotypical, "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually IS!", to all these incredible "Results"....Bottom line, if you don't eat correctly, AND exercise, you will remain as outta shape as you are right now....save your money, & start running, lifting, bicycling, & MOVING AROUND, instead of watching "American Idol"....You will be AMAZED at the "Results"...guaranteed!

Google the ingredients, see what they are before using the product. Question people, why not make a home wrap? Anyone out there that has done this?

I have done my own body wraps and it has been working tremendously. I use aloe vera, vitamin e oil,pure lemon juice and african shea butter. I purchased a derma roller on line and right after a hot bath and using the derma roller, I applied all those incredients in my problem area. Not only does it help with lbs but it helps to tighten your body so that it is not saggy and it hepls to heal and diminish stretch marks. You just need to be patient and have a healthy eating habit so that results are greater...good luck

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!

I have my own aloe plants that should be even better. I will look for a derma roller. Has anyone bought the blue and or red lights to improve their skin, wrinkles and help aking joints?

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I tried the Tanda that was meant to clear up acne, when it first came out. I used it exactly as the directions said & didn't notice any improvements.

Yes, I would cover it with plastic wrap and sleep with it. I would do it twice a week during my day off. I continue to do it for maintenance and I love it. As for the derma roller, I do it once a week and I think it's more as a habbit now.

Hi i'm thinking of trying a body wrap because i found this discount on cudo, so i guess why not.
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.
:)

I agree with Dariz. I wrapped two days into a new diet. It gave me exactly the boost I needed (3 1/2 inches lost, stayed lost). I was very skeptical, but since it was only $20, I went for it. So glad I did! (Full disclosure, after wrapping my arms next and getting great results, I decided I HAD to sell them; and yes, people ARE lined up to use them). (and they don't cost anything close to the $200 listed above)

It's so sad how some people don't realize that itworks is a way of starting out a new lifestyle. Wraping yourself will not do the trick on its own. It's to give you a boost and not to depend onit alone. I started eating healthier foods and working out before doing a wrap. It helps with a new routine. After starting a light workout session I decided to do a body wrap and it helped a big deal. I did my own wraps. Look it up on line. When you learn to detox your body you make it easier for your body to get rid of toxins especially in the colon and in return you will start dropping lbs. Did you know that pure aloe vera gel and grape seed oil are great for detox? Start there but depending on just one item is expecting too much...Good luck
