Like every other woman I have decided to do something about my weight this year. This question is what? Diets take time and I’ve never worn much shapewear in the past. What could be better than wearing shapewear which makes you look fabulous AND actually is considered a workout? This ingenious idea is the cornerstone of the ShaToBu shapewear line. These garments are designed to be worn all day and help you burn more calories and tone your muscles too! Of course, I HAD to find out more! I reviewed the High Waist Tight from ShaToBu, which retails for $38.00.
ShāToBu™ is the Workout You Wear
Independent scientific studies from the University of Virginia show that women who wear ShaToBu during daily activities burn UP TO 12% MORE caloriesduring daily activities like walking or climbing stairs. With the modern woman’s hectic schedule it can be hard to find time to get to the gym, but with ShaToBu, women can fit a workout into their daily routine while enjoying a more shapely silhouette!
How DOES ShāToBu™ Work?
ShaToBu is based on the principle of resistance training. This simple, ingenious technology uses seamless resistance bands to make muscles work a little harder during natural movement, like walking or climbing stairs, while remaining comfortable underneath your clothes. Non-binding, stay-in-place waist and leg bands prevent marking, bulging and rolling. ShaToBu is made of Nylon and Lycra with overall moisture-wicking properties, and a cotton CoolMax gusset, to keep you cool and comfortable. Easy enough to wear every day (and even replace underwear), ShaToBu offers a smooth route to a better-looking you!

Since I am a large girl anyway I thought these are never going to work! I take great pains to hide any muffin top, sides, hiney, you name it. I have tried a girdle and all I have to say about that is those of you who can wear them,more power to you They are more torture than help and anyone who ever said beauty is pain never put on a girdle or a corset! I have to admit that I was skeptical when it came to wearing the ShaToBu High Waist Tight, mostly due to the fact that ShaToBu claimed that you could wear their shapewear ALL DAY. I didn’t really believe that this could be true. But it is! Now admittedly, the ShaToBu was pretty difficult for me to get on. It was a workout all in itself. Maybe I needed a size larger or maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be, but I was grunting, groaning, and laying on the bed with my feet in the air while pulling it on. Once it was on though, it wasn’t uncomfortable at all and I immediately felt about 10 pounds lighter because I was completely sucked in! I felt like I could wear those gym leggings that are squat proof without showing off all my fat.
The great thing about this shaper is that it also allows you to breathe. The ShaToBu didn’t roll down once either. It completely stayed put and didn’t show itself by leaving any weird bulges or rolls in my clothes. I felt like I looked good, yet my secret was safe and no one knew I was wearing shapewear underneath my clothes. ShaToBu claims that I was actually burning 12% more calories than if I wasn’t wearing their garment. That’s always a pleasant thing to hear and although I can’t really confirm or deny this claim, I can tell you that the principal behind why this is true is sound. You see, ShaToBu shapers contain seamless resistance bands throughout their garments. The resistance bands are constantly engaged and make your muscles work harder to withstand that resistance. Because of these bands, anytime you do any type of movement, your body works a little bit harder to counteract the resistance placed on your muscles from the ShaToBu shapewear. Twelve percent may not seem like much, but in the battle of the bulge, every little bit counts and those calories can add up to pounds lost over time!
Did I lose any weight? Well I wore these everyday for two weeks and I lost a total of 3 pounds. I know doesn’t seem like a lot of weight but every little bit helps and if I keep wearing them, who knows!
