hmm. I'm thinking about the cat litter now for tomorrow

the only thing I'd say re Anusol wrap is to wrap the film round you as tightly as possible.

and for a few quid, you can't go wrong!

I'm howling at pile sufferer protests

What's wrong with spanx? Obviously lypo and tummy tucks work but are drastic, painful and £££. At least with spanx you get a little work out every time you wrestle yourself in or out of them.

Wow!!!

Ive just googled it too, cant believe its a well known thing, how have i not heard about this before.

RonSwansonsLushMoustache · 14/07/2014 13:37

I momentarily confused your title with a lunchbox suggestions one I'd just read. A homemade wrap with haemorrhoid cream?

MrsKoala · 14/07/2014 13:29

Well iirc you mix the cat litter with boiling water in a bucket/bowl til it's a thick wet clay consistency. Then when it's a bearable temp you smear it over you (arse/thighs and trunk) and then wrap up tightly in cling film and lay for about an hour while it absorbs toxins/excess moisture from the skin. Shower it off and tighten with a cold blast and you are left with lovely skin - it's apparently good for cellulite.

I just googled "cat littler body wrap" and discovered everyone is at it!!

You can have cat litter facials too :O who knew?!?

honeypie10 · 14/07/2014 13:20

Right ive just ordered epsom salts from amazon, just a small pack £4 to try, also ordered the anusol. I cant wait for dp to go on amazon now so he can see what they recommend for us Hmm.

Im also willing (as ive just been and bought them already) to try the cat litter one. I have a party on saturday i need to loose 2 stone for, so this could be the thing im looking for!!

What exactly do you do with the cat litter - feels grim just imagining me rubbing cat litter on myself, but if it works ill be pissed off with the cat that shes been crapping on the only slimming secret ive had all this time!!

TheFirmament · 14/07/2014 13:11

The news tomorrow.

MN causes urgent international pile cream shortage.
Angry haemorrhoid sufferers organise (awkwardly slow) protest march.

sillymillyb · 14/07/2014 12:54

Really?? Reallly??!!?!?!

This is bloody marvellous - I'm going to go to the shops later and try it.

You aren't fibbing just to make me look a twat are you? I am ridiculously excited about this (the weight loss, not the looking a twat part)

Will you measure yourself later too and see if you have kept the inches off please?

MisForMumNotMaid · 14/07/2014 12:33

Wow, just wow.

I think we need more measurements though. Will it be like a very small scale version of flubber i.e. when you drink you're suddenly your pre wrap size or will it be more like a mm an hour slow return.

We need a full and thorough report.

BrunoBrookesDinedAlone · 14/07/2014 12:18

More suggestions for your patent:

'Litto-Sculpt'

'Pile Off The Pounds'

LuckySaint · 14/07/2014 12:10

Epsom salts can be bought from most chemists Randall.
I've bought a box from sainsburys pharmacy for about £9. It's the magnesium sulphate one you want (for bathing)
There's a different one for drinking.

I recently got a huge box from Amazon for £20.
You need to use a decent cup/mug full for each bath.

Oh my god, I have eaten my hat!

Thats blinking amazing!

MrsKoala · 14/07/2014 11:47

Wow OP. I'm so doing this post baby!

I would volunteer for the cat litter (as i am the bugger who suggested it - i suppose i should) BUT i am 32wks pregnant and i doubt it's good for the baby. I will defo try it after the baby tho...promise Wink

RandallFloyd · 14/07/2014 11:32

2inches? 2 actual inches? Shock

Where does one buy Epsom salts? Is it just table salt?
What do I do with it?

MrsCakesPremonition · 14/07/2014 11:25

yy Lucky. But it was all in the name of science Grin.

LuckySaint · 14/07/2014 11:21

I remember the Lego one.
We were all waiting for the op to go to the loo.

I love MN threads where the OP selflessly experiments on herself for the entertainment education and benefit of the community.
Does anyone else remember the lego intestinal transit thread?

BOFster · 14/07/2014 11:17

Green tea tip- I've seen the video she links before, and I'm sure it mentions one of those wesawyoucoming.com beauty houses does a commercial version for £££££s.

ing in circle motions with wrapped ice cubes of green tea, if you want a budget version of something effective.

Re the Apron Of Despair, I think proper shapewear is the way to go.
