The modern market presents a wide range of thermal underwear. For sports and wearing under clothing, most often they prefer shorts, as they are comfortable, well-stretching and invisible. As an alternative to them, there are also pants for losing weight, which are practically no different in their effectiveness from breeches and Bermuda shorts. In what cases does it make sense to choose them? Their contact area with the body is much larger, which means that the result will be better. Owners of full legs prefer exactly such clothes.
Effectiveness
First of all, you need to figure out how slimming pants work in order to understand whether they will help you fight excess weight. Recently, a lot of criticism has been made about thermal underwear, so you either need to dispel all doubts and fears at once, or abandon the idea altogether.
Depending on the purpose of such pants, they will perform different functions:
- corrective: to shape the figure, make it slimmer, hide flaws in the form of sagging skin folds, reduce the volume of the waist, hips, buttocks;
- anti-cellulite effect: get rid of the “orange peel”, stretch marks, give the skin firmness and elasticity;
- sauna effect: increase temperature, burn fat;
- massage function: improve blood circulation , accelerate metabolism;
- cleansing: remove harmful substances;
- lymphatic drainage properties: remove fluid, causing intense sweating and at the same time eliminating puffiness;
- for sports: support muscles after intense physical exertion, relieve tension from them, prevent injuries.
You can only check whether the pants really help by your own experience. Manufacturers in advertising describe the undoubted advantages of models, promising almost minus 10 kg per month. Doctors unanimously state about the dangers of tight and warming underwear. Reviews are divided into two opposite camps: disappointed and angry customers vs. satisfied and thin.
Types
If nothing can stop you from buying yourself special pants for weight loss, decide on the model and functionality. Otherwise, you will simply get lost in the variety of the assortment.
- Corrective
If you need to hide skin folds and excess weight in the lower body, take corrective pants that will visually make the figure slimmer, legs slender and long, and the stomach flat. Take a closer look at the models from the French company Lytess.
Many people ask how compression pants (rash guards) differ from the same corrective ones. They not only visually correct the figure, but also have a certain therapeutic effect – they keep muscles in good shape, and have an antibacterial effect. The fabric fibers of such clothes are twisted in a special way, due to which it is so elastic and repeats every bend of the body, while at the same time tightening it. From brands you can distinguish FixGear, Vansydical.
- Anti-cellulite
Although they have a more cosmetic effect, it is quite pronounced. The skin of the thighs and buttocks becomes even, elastic, without an “orange peel”. And if you managed to lose weight, such pants will not allow stretch marks. Pay attention to Body Shaper leggings from Hot Shapers (we wrote about the belts of this company earlier).
- Warming
Sauna pants – this is what this type of underwear is called. They are made of neoprene – an incredibly elastic material that allows you to repeat every bend of the body and shape it into an ideal shape. It is very dense, therefore it promotes sweating. And if you play sports (or even do household chores) in such clothes, the effect will be several times greater.
Since neoprene is a special type of rubber, it turns out that the pants are rubber, which scares many buyers. Everyone knows that rubber worsens the condition of the skin and does not breathe at all. But do not forget that neoprene is an innovative development, which means that its quality is much better. You can study information about TermoSlim Classic.
- Infrared
Something new that many cosmetology offices offer. Radiation sources are built into the fabric – they warm up the body, enhance metabolism, accelerate blood flow. The result is more impressive than after the sauna effect. However, it is not recommended to wear such clothes on your own, without a specialist.
There are women’s pants – tight-fitting, ideal for wearing at home and for fitness. There are men’s leotards – looser cut, they are more often used for playing sports.
As for the models, they are represented on the market by trousers, leggings, leggings and leotards.
Contraindications
Corrective pants, if they are worn for too long or if the size is not chosen correctly (if it is smaller than the actual size), can put strong pressure on the internal organs. This often leads to serious health problems. In order to prevent such a development of events, it is necessary to strictly observe contraindications for such extreme weight loss:
