Neoprene Workout shorts Review: To Wear or Not To Wear?

And now the review that none of you even knew you were waiting for: The Neoprene Workout Shorts.

About a week ago I was online trying to find a way to lose weight while breastfeeding without it having a negative effect on my Munchkin. I new that pills and weight loss shakes were out of the picture, but I still wanted to find SOMETHING to boost my weight loss and make me feel like I was achieving something.

What I found were these Fabulous Neoprene Shorts.
I purchased them from Amazon.com (see Link on sidebar.) and the evening they arrived I immediately pulled them on to see if it made a difference.
I kid you not, within 5 minutes of slipping them on and carrying Munchkin around the house I was sweating pretty well. Today I ran with them on the treadmill, and by the time I was done it looked like I had just gotten out of a pool!
So the shorts DEFINITELY make you sweat, hence helping you shed the pounds a little bit faster.
Also, these shorts target the areas that most women consider their "Problem Areas".( They also seem to help with my cellulite, though that may just be my imagination.. ^_^)

I LOVE these shorts and would definitely recommend them. however, there are a few cons to this product as well.
1. Neoprene is NOT made to sit directly on your skin.
The shorts will give you a TERRIBLE rash if you don't wear something under them. I use leggings and that seems to fix the problem.
2. These will make you sweat... A Lot.
If you are working out on a surface that could be potentially slippery, you should take extra care(and an extra towel or two). My shoes are fairly new and still have great traction, and I still almost face-planted on my treadmill after a 30min. workout.
And last but not least,
3. They don't stay in place when you run in them.
For those of you who have not worn Neoprene before, the material is fairly slippery. When I start to run on the treadmill I have to hold them in place with my hands.

This product is available thru many different companies, at various price ranges. I went with the Valeo shorts, which were about $10.00 and come with a few extra problems. They also give me the results that I crave and make me sweat enough that I feel thinner right after working out in them. Those two things alone made the purchase worth it to me. ^_^
That about sums up my Review on this product. If I have left you with any Questions, please feel free to ask and I will reply as best as I can.
Health and Happiness to all of you!
