Body Wraps

Posted: 7/2/06 at 3:32pm

Anyone ever had one? I was talking about them last night and then told my friends, "This would probably make an excellent discussion on my Broadway message board." They looked at me a little weird.

My mom paid for me to get one in 8th grade before I went to camp...no results. A nice waste of 115 dollars.

Anyone have any stories?

What is a body wrap, and what is it's purpose? What results were you after?

A body wrap is where...your body is wrapped in cloth (that is sprayed with some liquid). You wear the cloth (TIGHTLY) for about 3 hours and it is supposed to shrink your skin, resulting in loss of inches in your waist, thighs, etc.

Wow, every question I've ever had about you has been answered.

Is it even POSSIBLE to loose weight or something this way?
Sounds a little fishy to me...

It's not meant for losing weight. It's used for "losing inches".

Why would anybody want to loose inches?
Just kidding...

But even if it's used for loosing inches, I don't think this could really work. Where should the skin disappear to in three hours? It will definitely dilate again after the wrap...
I think it's just another way for rich people to spend their money...

It sound interesting. I'd never do it, beacuse I Prefer and hour of being uncomforable while exercising to three hours of being wrapped in a weird blanket type thing.

They showed how its done on The Modern Girl's Guide to Life. It's basically a crazy way to detox.

I understand that she paid, but was it her idea or yours?

She told me about it and I was like, "Meh, sure." so I guess it was my idea. I could have said no, but I didn't. I was open to trying it.

I had one done at the Cal Neva Resort in Lake Tahoe last summer. If you're the least bit claustrophobic (and I am!) I wouldn't recommend it. I was wrapped like a mummy in wet linens for a half an hour and was going out of my mind. I couldn't wait til it was over. I would recommend a salt scrub (incredible for your skin) and an aromatherapy massage.

Drink some water and the inches will come right back.

"Drink some water and the inches will come right back."




I don't think I could deal with that. I'd go nuts and I'd feel like I was trapped.

Now, a massage, that's a different story

I was expecting to just be sitting in a room...brought a book and everything--but no. I got to "work out" for 3 hours. and watch Pretty Woman.
