We Get In Shape

(Sort of!)



by BeansTalk's ME

Let’s face it, as BeansTalk’s ME, we’re not kidding anyone. We may dress up occasionally for our day job and our blink-and-you-miss-them television appearances, but if we had our druthers, we would wear clothing that very closely resembles nightgowns and pajamas. The bottom line? We’re all about comfort.

That said, we also don’t want to look dumpy. While studying up on Hilary Swank (we just taped a show where we were – ahem – an “industry expert”), a Vanity Fair writer referred to her mother as a “dumpling.” We think that suits us.

As dumpling-ish as we are, we’re still not quite plus size – yet (and we’re hoping not to be). We had the opportunity to sample The Body Wrap Shapewear. In our lifetime (a long one, I promise you), we have tried all kinds of modern variations on the girdle and comfort has always won out (translated, that means we can put it on for about an hour and then excuse ourselves to the loo to remove the binding garments).

We don’t like things that ride up, are too compressing (we’re not a post-lipo patient, afterall), or cut into our waist, legs and other delicate areas.

Thank goodness for The Body Wrap. Our samples were a little too big for us (they were 1x), but the most amazing thing about them is the FABRIC they use. It’s gorgeous quality and, above all, COMFORTABLE. We won’t name names of other fine products, but we can honestly say that The Body Wrap fabric is not like pumped up pantyhose or tights as some shapewear offers.

Seriously, try them out. They offer different types of products and “hold” but their superiority is really based on the fabric.

They are very well-designed – the seams are not binding in anyway. Other products advertise that they’re not, and well, they are. But not The Body Wrap.

We received the Underwire Body Suit, but it was way too big for us. We are a smallish A and roundy. We wish we could refer to ourselves as “lush,” but that just isn’t the case. We’re a simple short and roundy.

Get The Body Wrap. We loved the Long Leg Panty. Very nice.

Here’s what their website says:

These seamless undergarments may seem like they are invisible, compared to what your mother used to wear to hide the bumps and bulges. Since these firm shaping undergarments are lightweight , seamless, and comfortable to wear, you forget that you are wearing one! It is invisible to anyone looking at you because these seamless undergarments leave no panty lines, unlike the heavier and stiffer rubber-strapped girdle of yesteryear. This is not your mother’s girdle!

Three points to ponder – breast, belly, and behind! These are the huge B’s that every woman looks out for as she ages, with the hour – glass figure as the main goal for maintenance. The Body Wrap gives you a pain – free and sweat free solution with their seamless shapewears. Manufactured by Christina America, it fuses together the patented blend of Lycra and Tactel microfiber for a smooth and comfortable feeling, as well as moulding capacities.

It allows you to lose inches, hide extra pounds, and creates the illusion if a toned and fit body. The Body Wrap Shapewear focuses on the problem areas starting off with breast enhancement. It gives you that illusive bust lift you’ve always dreamed off; adding at least one full cup size and centers on that sexy cleavage. Next stop is the stomach. It pushes your stomach in for an instant tummy tuck and a small waist you can show – off to everyone. Lastly, get a great butt lift and an illusion of a tighter, bigger behind complimented with flat abs and contoured hips.

The Body Wrap Shapewear is a slimming and slenderizing lingerie. It’s array of products include bodysuits, bra slips, body thongs, bandeaus, bras, tankinis with underwire, long leg panties, half slips, capris, thongs, girdles, and control briefs.
