Body shaper nightmare

First of all let me say that I LOVE the way I feel when I wear my body shaper....I love that held together feeling cause I'm not "all over the place". However I wore one for 3 days that I was sure was going kill me. The non stop itching is terrible. I kept putting it back on hoping that it was just me getting used to it. Needless to say I couldn't get home fast enough to get it off. I don't know if it's too small or the fact that it's 85% percent nylon but I nearly scratched a hole in my belly. I will have to go shopping for another one, preferably a briefer style. Can anyo e recommend one?

I love the one they advertise on TV, the Kymaro New Body Shaper ( i think its called.) That thing is no joke. I never found it itchy. I hope thats not the one you are talking about!

No that's not the one I'm talking about? Is the fabric lightweight or heavyweight? I'm using a different one right now but it has legs and is a pain in the neck when going to the bathroom. Uggghhhhhh

 I buy my favorite shapers at Target.  It is a Spanx brand, labeled  as "love my Assets. Price ranges between 16$-23$.  They have a good variety and are very comfortable....I forget they're there :)

I wear a very lightweight t-shirt under my binder.

I bought some men's tank-type shirts at Target.

Beautiful Solise ... this is what I would do . I would make my own SKIN into a bodyshaper by making it turn o ver faster (and smaller each time ) ..and also building up strength and shape in the underlying core muscles .

Can U afford to buy an ab lounge ? they are GREAT for crunches , pain free diagonal ab exercises aCTUALLY AN ABLOUNGE makes situps fun !! REALLY !!

two weeks of ablounging .. ya wont need a shaper ..especially if ya walk or run also....

Ull be so proud of Ur gorgeous body U wont be able to resist showing it off!!!

(((PLEASE ))))) try 2% salicylic acid bodyscrub ( Neutrogena , acne drugstore section ) to minimize stretchmarks and MAXIMIZE tautness and youthful tone ..

you can still have loose skin over your taut muscles. Stretch marks are indications that the skin is damaged, and will not get smaller, no matter how many situps you do.

Sounds like you might be allergic to latex and/or rubber?
