Body wrap "taut" by Brooke Burke

pisdapisda79 · Dec 21st, 2007, 09:23 AM

Just wondering if anyone has tried this wrap & if it works.

"Burke also recently launched Baboosh Baby, an eco-friendly online store, and reveals that her secret to a svelte post-baby body is a belly wrap called Taut. "You pull it super tight and Velcro it," she says, "It feels good for all of that baby skin. I swear by it."

I've never heard of that, but would love to know!

never heard of that particular wrap. but i know that in my country, a lot of women have massage daily post birth and wear those tummy control corsets (like a wrap around the waist) to ensure that the tummy doesn't sag and to help regain pre-pregnancy figure. all my cousins did that and my aunt gave me one too. however, i didn't use it as i find it uncomfortable (the older generation said i'm stuborn and will regret not listening to them

).

my cousins do have very svelte figures, but i don't regret not wearing the wrap cause i think comfort is important to me. i'm the same size as pre-baby and never went on any diet/ exercise after giving birth (i gained 55lbs and 60lbs with my pregnancies). however, i did took longer time to go back to pre-baby weight. it took me about 1year for my body to be back to normal size, whereas my cousins were back in pre-pregnancy figure within 2months.

I read the article about Brooke Burke saying that too and I was like, where the heck do I get one? LOL

i check out the product on the internet (thx for sharing), there's a similar wrap in asia, i've tried it, it works for me but it only helps you get your stomach back pre-pregnancy, but not actually make it flatter than before, i was a gym addict, so i have no problem getting back in shape ASAP but for those who don't exercise that much pre-pregnancy, don't expect miracles.

i heard that the wrap only works if you put it on as soon as the baby came out, don't wait till 15 days or 1 month after that....

So besides her pumping her own product, has anyone on this forum tried one and had success?

kittenslingerie · Sep 10th, 2008, 11:38 AM

I ordered the taut. I will let you all know how it works for me because I am 34 1/2 weeks, so I will be using it quite soon. I have a good friend that had liposculpture/liposuction (she had her love handles removed by lipo), anyway the doctor had her wear a compression wrap for about a month to make the skin shrink back smoother. That said, her stomach looks tighter than ever so I believe the general concept works.

I tried this. What a waste of money. It didn't do anything for me, was uncomfortable and made me bleed like crazy.

glamgirl84 · Sep 11th, 2008, 01:22 AM

I read in an interview that Jessica Alba also did something similar and she swears by it. No idea if it really works though!

How much was it? Just curious. I really don't believe in things like that. There is no "wrap" or whatever than can give you a flat stomach. The muscles need to be worked in order for them to tone, and burn fat. Wrapping your stomach up would not do that.

carvedwords · Sep 12th, 2008, 06:46 PM

My friend knows a woman who has had 5 kids and wore a similar wrap and never exercised to regain her pre-pregnancy body. I don't know..I was always under the impression that exercise was the way to go because the muscles have to be worked.

kittenslingerie · Sep 13th, 2008, 10:26 AM

All the taut can do is possibly make the skin heal/shrink faster/better. You would still need to work out to get your abs back, and thats if it works at all. I personally believe the taut could make the excess sagging skin right after birth shrink better, but it can't give abs.
