It seems like everyone is talking about the It Works! Global Ultimate Body Applicator, a non-woven cloth wrap that promises to slim a particular body part in just 45 minutes. My friends who've tried it said the wrap was so versatile that you can apply to your sides, tummy, back, thighs, upper arms and lower legs. Sounds like a wonder-working miracle, right?

I had to know just what my friends were raving about when it came to using this reportedly body-changing wrap. My abs have been a trouble area for me lately, so in my mind, applying the wrap to that spot was the perfect solution. The wrap was simple to use, containing a botantically based lotion with eucalyptus, green tea leafs and jojoba seed extracts to maximize firming and toning. The item had a minty smell, and was very moist and saturated. It took some arm work to lay the wrap down flat on my stomach without any air pockets, but the application process was mostly mess-free.

After applying the wrap, I put plastic over the area to make sure everything was secure, as per the manufacturer It Works! advice. My plan was to follow the company's recommendation: wearing the wrap for 45 minutes to see if my skin would be irritated by its natural ingredients. It Works! advises users to test out the product for that allotted amount of time to judge the skin's sensitivity to the wrap. I drank a lot of water during the time, for my friends told me to do so to maximize results. It Works! Wrap distributors believe consuming 24 to 30 ounces of water while wrapped, and drinking at least half your body weight in ounces each day helps to eliminate daily toxins. While using the wrap, I continued working and completing tasks, experiencing a slight tingling.

When the 45 minutes was up, I ripped off the saran wrap and peeled off the It Works! product. I rubbed in the excess lotion left over on my stomach after discarding the wrap. I noticed positive results: my skin's texture was much softer, and my tummy was noticeably tighter after the first application. And I felt confident, too. I couldn't wait to use it in another 72 hours, which is the company's recommended time length that one should wait until your next application. Each time you use the It Works! Wrap, the product continues to work over the next three days.

Though I don't always believe in body-shaping products, I have to say that this one seems like it will ultimately work for me. The It Works! Wrap felt like a magical fix to firming my abs. The thing that makes it so special is that my first round of results wasn't about water loss, but body toning. I found the item to be very impressive, like so many of the millions out there who have tried it. My plan is to continue using the product, along with eating better and exercising, to maximize the results.
