Gloss Find: ShaToBu

Posted on September 3, 2010 by Lolita Carrico

I think it’s safe to say that almost everyone has at least tried on shape wear under dresses to see how they’d look as it creates seamless curves in all the right places. It’s also been the saving grace for many of us … not to mention celebs on red carpets.  This new kind of shape wear definitely smooths, but is also known for helping you shape, tone and burn calories (that’s where Sha-To-Bu came from).

Created by chiropractor, Dr. Denise Perron, the seamless tights are lined with resistance bands in the areas we love most… the butt and thighs.  Studies prove people who wear ShaToBu burn up to 12% more calories per day just by going about their normal activity.

This all sounded too good to be true so I tried it out for myself.  I wore them all day and it was just a little bit harder to take a step or go from sitting down to standing up.  I’m one of those people who keeps my abs engaged standing on the subway, so I’ll take it!  Like I said, time is precious and every minute counts.

ShaToBu is available in buff and jet black for $50 and $60 on ShaToBu.com.
