Has anyone here got the fat busting knickers from John Lewis that apparently take inches from your stomach, hips and thighs?

this one doesn't mention exercising or eating healthily

they look a bit err restrictive don't they

perhaps they squeeze it out of you

and aren't they hot? if the crystals heat up?

I bet you've all secretly got them and are feeling all hot and uncomfortable but just not admitting it. I know your secrets.

so one is sort of cooked inside them? sounds a bit like going for a jog wrapped in clingfilm, remember that fad?

oh well i will go and get some

i'm not surprised people are buying several pairs. i cannot bear to think about what they are like after being worn for a few hours...

I would have thought they make you look smaller anyway just from the fact that you are being squeezed (although I've always wondered whether the fat just gets moved someone else)

My DP sells them in his shops and has been stunned at how well they are selling.

Anna, you are going to have to don them now, in the name of research

I shouldn't have mentioned it, should I?

They have been the surprise hit of a rather moribund retail summer!
