No matter how consistent you are with the gym, you're bound to have a few areas that you'd like to tone up. If your midsection comes to mind, you're not alone. Those abs are notoriously hard to sculpt, so a little extra help is always welcome. You've probably heard plenty about Amazon's No. 1 bestselling Sweet Sweat waist trimmer (or at least seen it around your gym — it does have over 143,000 5-star reviews, after all) so when we caught wind that there was an updated version that's designed to be less conspicuous, we knew we had to share it. It's just like the original in that it makes you sweat puddles. And it's on sale, starting at $28.
The real upgrade? Your color choices. Unlike the original, which only came in black with a hot pink trim, this version is available in five shades designed to match your skin tone. It features a Velcro closure for an adjustable fit and it's flexible enough to move with you, without digging in.
The waist trimmer offers great heat insulation; it's designed to enhance your workout by increasing your core temperature, making you sweat harder. And it has the added benefit of providing back support.
The Sweet Sweat trainer isn't just for workouts, though — you can wear it around the house, to the store or on your daily walk. Shares one new mom: "Love this. I started using it six weeks postpartum when the hospital band became too worn out and big. I wear it around the house for hours and hours and on walks. I plan to use it when I begin working out again. Super comfortable and after I wear it for hours I can tell a difference."
Another added: "I like the material and it’s super easy to clean. You can wear it while you’re doing small chores at home or out for a walk and it’ll make you SWEAT!!!! I love it!!!"
A third noted: "This is definitely helping me with my weight loss journey. I put it on while I take my 30 minute walk and when doing housework. You will be amazed how much water there is when taking it off."
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
