My Wrap Experience

A couple of weeks ago my sister-in-law started selling body wraps and other products. I decided that this would be a good opportunity for me to detox so I became a loyal customer and bought my first box of wraps. They came in the mail yesterday so last night was my first go at it. 

In case you don't know what a body wrap is, it's basically a piece of paper with lotion made out of natural detoxing ingredients. The lotion is absorbed into your skin and helps to remove toxins. You place the wrap on the area of your body that you want to detox and leave it on for 45 minutes up to 8 hours. The detoxing ingredients work for 72 hours so you can only wrap once every 3 days. Each day you should drink half of your body weight in ounces of water to help flush out the toxins. 

At first I was wary of using the wrap because it seems to just be flushing out water weight, but the more I've researched it the more it makes sense as to why it works longer for some people rather than others. A detox is as temporary as you make it. The detox flushes out toxins in your body. If you eat unhealthy junk food then you're just going to put those same types of toxins back in your body. However, if you eat healthy food then you'll be able to keep those toxins from building back up. Hopefully I can make wise eating choices and keep those toxins out. 

The wrap can be placed on several areas of your body including arms, legs, back, and stomach. I chose to wrap my stomach. I placed the wrap on my stomach then wrapped myself in plastic wrap to help hold it in place. Since I chose to sleep in it I also wore my shape-wear over it to make sure it didn't move around too much in my sleep. Needless to say, I looked awesome! But that is one perk to it. I could have chosen to wear it under my clothes during the day and no one would even know. 

After I laid down with it on, it started getting really warm and tingling so I knew something was going on. I decided to wear it to bed because I didn't have a chance to put it on until then. I thought that I would just take it off when I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Of course, this would be the first night in months that I didn't wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom so I ended up wearing it the full 8 hours. 

This morning I removed it and rubbed in the remaining lotion. I had taken before photos and measurements last night so I took my first round of after photos and measurements this morning. I've lost an inch and a half already. Another thing I noticed is that my stretch marks are faded which is an awesome perk to just wanting to lose inches. A full treatment is 4 wraps so I can't wait to see my results after my 4th wrap. As for now I'll keep monitoring my water intake and tracking my measurements. I'll be sure to post updates and hopefully some awesome before and after photos!
