One thing most of you don't know about me is that I am a bit of a shapewear addict! Okay, my secret is out......and I am okay with admitting that I am obsessed with looking as slim and slender as I possibly can and I don't mind wearing under garments that are going to suck it all in and make me look sleek and smooth in all my clothes.

ShāToBu - The Workout You Wear™ - is the revolutionary shaper that helps women shape, tone and burn more calories during everyday activities.

The benefits go beyond ordinary shapewear - ShaToBu instantly gives a sleeker silhouette, but women can also see and feel a difference in their bodies with regular use over time. By incorporating resistance bands right into the garment, muscles work a little harder and more calories are burned during daily activities.

ShaToBu helps women fit a workout into their normal day, while looking and feeling great.

ShāToBu™ is the Workout You Wear

Independent scientific studies from the University of Virginia show that women who wear ShaToBu during daily activities burn UP TO 12% MORE calories during daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.

With the modern woman's hectic schedule it can be hard to find time to get to the gym, but with ShaToBu, women can fit a workout into their daily routine while enjoying a more shapely silhouette!

How DOES ShāToBu™ Work?



ShaToBu is based on the principle of resistance training. This simple, ingenious technology uses seamless resistance bands to make muscles work a little harder during natural movement, like walking or climbing stairs, while remaining comfortable underneath your clothes.

Non-binding, stay-in-place waist and leg bands prevent marking, bulging and rolling.

ShaToBu is made of Nylon and Lycra with overall moisture-wicking properties, and a cotton CoolMax gusset, to keep you cool and comfortable.

Easy enough to wear every day (and even replace underwear), ShaToBu offers a smooth route to a better-looking you!

THE CREATOR



Denise Perron, BSc, DC

Dr. Denise Perron, a board-certified chiropractor for more than 20 years, is the brains behind ShāToBu™, The Workout You Wear. This idea for this revolutionary shaper came about when Dr. Perron observed that many of her patients did not consistently perform the exercises she prescribed for better posture. Recognizing that more and more of her patients were wearing shapewear, she had the brilliant idea to create a new kind of shaper that would help them do their exercises effortlessly.

By applying the principles of resistance training to shapewear, Dr. Perron's concept was to add seamless resistance bands to an undergarment, making muscles work a little harder during natural movement, like walking or climbing stairs. When muscles work harder, more calories are burned. It occurred to her that this garment might actually provide fitness benefits to a vast number of women outside of her practice as well.

She proved her shaper worked by conducting scientific studies in Canada and the U.S. - and so ShāToBu™ was born. Dr. Perron transformed the concept of ordinary shapewear with ShāToBu™, a science based shaper that not only provides a sleek silhouette but also shapes, tones and burns more calories while women go about their everyday activities.

MY REVIEW

The very generous folks at ShāToBu™ sent me the ShāToBu™ Waist to Knee Shaper. It is still mind blowing to me that this ultra cool undergarment is designed to provide significant body toning and calorie burning benefits to my body as I am wearing it. I just can't believe how incredibly amazing that is! And, to boot it is totally comfortable to wear all day long! Here is the product information about the Waist to Knee Shaper from the website:

MY THOUGHTS: Of course before I began wearing this garment I hand washed it in cold water. It dried in about 1 hour, wow! It washed beautifully and I could not get it on myself fast enough. I put it on in the morning around 10:00 am and I wore it all day long until about 4:30 pm. During the time I wore it I went about my typical daily routine. I walked our 2 dogs 3 times throughout the day, I went grocery shopping and ran a few additional errands, and I did tasks around the house. I was very conscious about the fact that I was wearing this shapewear garment because I was testing it out, but it was totally comfortable and had I not been aware that I was testing the product, I am positive I would have forgotten that I had it on. It felt natural on my body, and did not give me any discomfort in any way.

I must say this shapewear garment made me look about 5 pounds slimmer which right away made me fall in love with it. I felt confident in my black slacks and noticed I had an extra bounce in my walk because I felt so good about myself. I also had this smile inside myself all day long because I knew that I was also getting toned and burning calories all the while I was wearing this product. The cool factor just kept making me happier and happier!

I can honestly say the only downside is the fact that I have to wash this everyday because I want to keep wearing it and wearing it!! I wish I had a week's supply of them, one for each day of the week because I never want to be without wearing it! The benefits are so awesome, it makes you look great in all your clothes and helps you to keep your body toned and burn calories so you can control your weight, I mean how innovative and totally incredible is this?!

MY THOUGHTS: I think it is fascinating to learn that each number in the picture below represents a benefit that this product delivers upon.

Mayfair Tech Inc.

Mayfair Tech Inc. ("Mayfair"), a Canadian corporation, was established specifically to launch ShāToBu™. An affiliate of Doris Hosiery Mills, Mayfair was created to bring to life Dr. Denise Perron's vision of a shaper with built-in resistance training to help women fit exercise effortlessly into their day. This vision became a reality with the manufacturing expertise of Doris Hosiery Mills. Combining talents, a revolutionary new shaper was born: ShaToBu - The Workout You Wear™

To ensure the success of ShaToBu, Mayfair invested heavily in the necessary research to not only meet and exceed women's expectations in wearing shapers, but also to confirm the scientific claims and launch the most well-constructed, comfortable product:

- The Science - independent scientific studies conducted at both U.S. and Canadian Universities substantiate the performance of the product, including the claims for shaping, toning and calorie burn.

- Manufacturing - Over the course of nearly three years of testing and trials on state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, ShaToBu was perfected to not only provide optimal shaping, toning and calorie burning benefits, but was also a shaper comfortable enough to wear all day every day.
