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!!

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

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

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

honeypie10 · 14/07/2014 13:37

Wow!!!

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

I'm not a scientist No shit... Grin Grin

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.

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 14:15

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

I'm crying with laughter reading this and comments, can't for the cat litter try outs, if cheered me up sooo much thanks Grin

KatoPotato · 14/07/2014 14:54

I've just text DH the shopping list for dinner... But I've remembered I have anusol in the bathroom! I will totally try this tonight!!

loopylady83 · 14/07/2014 15:00

You mixing the pile cream with the cat litter kato?

KatoPotato · 14/07/2014 15:04

I was going to try doing one thigh in cat litter and the other with anusol? That sounds quite scientific?

KatoPotato · 14/07/2014 15:04

Winner gets to go on my tummy!

KatoPotato · 14/07/2014 15:05

Wait, that sounds RUDE

fatedtopretend · 14/07/2014 15:11

I am definitely trying this, at a wedding in 2 weeks with many skinny people, this must be their secret

fatedtopretend · 14/07/2014 15:12

I will mix them tomorrow and see what happens

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 15:22

hmm; should we be mixing do think?

I'm no scientist etc etc but I can see explosions occurring or something

Hrmmm, like Mentos and diet coke?

honeypie10 · 14/07/2014 15:28

I cant believe the things mn has me doing in the name of getting skinny Grin.

I thought it was bad when i visited every boots within 25 miles to get hold of a soap and glory foot file whilst 9 months pregnant.

never would I have thought id be so eager to rub cat litter into my body though Hmm.

fatedtopretend · 14/07/2014 15:28

I mix aspirin, mag sulph, tea tree and bentonite clay for face masks-it can't be more dangerous than that surely?

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 15:30

aha Honey! that was me as well re the foot file. sorry! ( I've name changed a lot since)

yes we must be sensible re the concoctions - I fleetingly considered tiger balm Shock Shock

fatedtopretend · 14/07/2014 15:36

Ouch Shock

honeypie10 · 14/07/2014 15:52

haha the world I now take all beauty related advice from you then, hope its not too much pressure on your shoulders.

p.s. the foot file was crap on my leather hooves! hope the cat litter wraps wont go the same way! Smile
