For many women, the problem of getting rid of extra pounds is always relevant. Slimming shorts, a popular thing lately - a strong temptation for ladies who dream of a flawless figure, but at the same time do not want or do not have the opportunity to spend time in the gym.

Operating principle

Thermal shorts, according to manufacturers, are based on the following principles of effects on the body:

  • Sauna effect (or steam effect). Thermal underwear prevents the access of air to the body, and it begins to heat up and sweat vigorously, while the blood flow increases. As a result, fat deposits are burned, and slags and toxins are removed through the skin.
  • Massage. Some models of shorts easily massage the skin thanks to special inserts.
  • Compress effect. Products support the muscles of the thigh and pelvis, due to which they are not so quickly tired during training - the risk of injury is reduced.
  • Warming action Certain models are impregnated with pepper extract and other warming agents that increase circulation.

Advantages and disadvantages

Despite the stated benefits of shorts for weight loss, the purchase of this thing must be treated wisely. If you just lie on the couch and wait for the result, you will not achieve anything. In addition, some busy women who do not find time for sports training simply wear shorts to work under their basic clothing. It is clear that it will not bring the desired effect.

Such model as shorts "sauna" is suitable only for a certain physique. If you have a big difference between waist and hip circumference, then the product will not “stick” well to the body. When the so-called steam effect occurs, you lose excess moisture, it has a certain weight, and formally, of course, you lose weight. But the muscle tone does not improve. Such a weight reduction should serve as a motivation for you, so that physical exercises should also be connected to the struggle for the perfect body.

Such shorts are also struggling with cellulite - stimulation of the local blood flow contributes to the visual smoothing of the "orange peel". However, according to fitness trainers, a conventional wrap with food wrap can have a similar effect.

A number of experts argue that the periodic squeezing of parts of the body entails a violation of the lymph flow, which is already dangerous to health. At the same time, the skin structure is also subjected to pathological changes due to the disruption of oxygen access. Diaper rash may occur. Since bacteria are always present on the skin, with a vapor effect, they begin to multiply, and dermatitis or allergic reactions may occur.

It is important to know that the tightly pressed shorts exert pressure on the genitals - and this can lead to inflammation and even infertility.

In women prone to hypertension, even local overheating of the body can provoke a hypertensive crisis.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the shorts-muscle stimulators - there is already another price range - over 10 thousand rubles.

Reviews of consumers and doctors

The opinion of medical specialists about thermoshorts is ambiguous. Some completely allow their use, considering it effective in the fight against obesity, while agreeing that physical exertion must be present. Others consider such experiments dangerous to health. Thermal shorts violate the natural physiology of a person - violate the lymph flow, breathing of the skin, compress the pelvic organs.

Feedback from women actively using this clothing is also shared. Some people constantly take them to the gym and, indeed, feel their positive effect: perspiration increases many times, the skin is smoothed, although the “orange peel” does not disappear completely (after all, to forget about cellulite, you need a set of measures - rational diet, massage ). Many women, indeed, go extra pounds, but again, provided physical activity (gym, fitness, dancing). Plus, many people like to do house cleaning in them (which is also a burden).

Other ladies criticize this product, believing that the advertisement has misled them, and they speak of a zero result.
