Poker Deposit BonusKymaro Body Shaper: Does This Woman Really Need This Product?
March 24th, 2008 Paul Lucas
It’s no secret that TV commercials have long featured gorgeous models demonstrating their products. Whenever a skin cream or cosmetics ad appears, some beauty with perfect skin is always the person shown applying the product. When an infomercial demonstrates a home gym, some ripped guy with bulging biceps and a perfect six-pack will more likely than not be the one working out on it. While no product will make you as attractive as the woman using the skin cream or as muscular and the man using the home gym, at least the model really does have a need for skin care products and cosmetics and the muscleman does use exercise equipment.
The infomercial for Kymaro Body Shaper sells a product that is supposed to smooth out fat bulges so women can look better in their clothes. Yet to demo this product they use a woman with an absolutely flawless body, including a perfectly flat stomach. Check out the woman wearing the black bra and panties:
That woman has no fat bulges on her midriff. I have more need for the Kymaro Body Shaper than she does!
It is, however, reassuring to know that the Kymaro Body Shaper prevents “irritating boning”—a problem so many women complain about.
Okay, that computer graphic they show of a lumpy, bumpy obese woman at :27 transforming into a size 2 instantly kills any credibility this product had. “Look like up to 20 pounds thinner”…and lose 10 dress sizes according to this computer generation!

I’m sure their belief is that having an obese model in their infomercials is bad television and won’t sell the product.
“Okay,” they say, “so let’s use a model who’s already skinny and make her even SKINNIER!” Go figure!!

It doesn’t make her skinnier. If anything, it looks a bit loose.

I’ve always lived to regret irritating boning, and, unfortunately, it’s not the kind of thing you can foresee. You realize it when it’s already started and it’s too late to stop. Nevertheless, as anyone who has actually needed to use a Body Shaper knows, there is no worse image than your body’s bulges and fat-clusters fighting to escape getting corralled into a lycra, flesh-colored harness-suit who functions as reminder of what you could -and should- look like if you weren’t a fat, flabby pig. So I understand the decision to use a thin model to demonstrate the Kymaro Body Shaper. I just don’t understand why I can’t be 300 pounds and appear to be only 95 just by putting on a big tan panty.

Just like any other commercial that has to do with the body (exercise and weight loss equipment). The person using it, never have the need for it.

Well to honest I don’t know if the thing works, I watch the little program every night at 12:00 a.m.. To be honest the petite woman modeling the body shaper makes no since to me at all, but also on the show it shows other plus size women trying out the body shaper and they did loose a few inches and they didn’t have any lumps or bulges showing show I will buy the product to see if it works for me.

OMG worst rip off. You can’t pull it up over knees, then if you can get someone to help you , its too lose. How can it get over bum a nd then be tight on top….you are charged for postage and handling on the 3 ‘gift’ shappers if you decide to return the one you order. WHY. If you hate it, you willhate the free ones too. Thats how they get ya.I am filing a compaint. Change the station if this inofrmercial comes on. Kymaro is a con rip off… BUY SPANX
