Where do buyers of this body girdle think the fat is going to go? Of course it has to squish around and relocate to other areas, and of course, the "girdle" must be TIGHT! Come on Americans, use your brain, THINK before you fall for something! Girdles have been around for ages, and it's common sense how they work and how they would feel. We are so anxious to get that instant miracle cure for our problems that we are willing to throw all sense to the wind for it. No wonder our whole country is in such a mess with that kind of thinking!
