Hot pants

Every once in a while I see a new product that I think may be worth a shot, perhaps a bit gimmicky, but worth it all the same. And so it is that today I took delivery of my pair of Zaggora hotpants. Not short buttock revealing shorts, but a miracle cure for saggy cellulite ridden buttocks, so they claim. Apparently the shorts burn more energy/ fat by making a targeted area hotter whilst exercising. I'm a bit of a cynic, but anything to get rid of my wobbles.

The packaging looks a bit cheap and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but out popped a pair of neoprene shorts. I had in my head that these would be some miracle fabric with micro-encapsulated fat blasters, but just neoprene - such a simple concept. I wore them for the entire afternoon and then cycled for an hour wearing them and I have to say, they make for incredibly damp under garments. Though I didn't feel like my skin was melting I was extremely clammy when I finally removed them. I'm not entirely convinced yet, but let's see what happens after a nice long run in them. If nothing else they are really controlling and flattering and I felt like they were holding everything in place, and on offer for £30, which is what you'd pay for any pair of neoprene shorts......Watch this space.
