ItWorks Question?

cksmith29 · July 2013

Is anyone familiar with ItWorks? Those are the funny body wrap things that help you lose weight, reduce cellulite etc.. They claim to be all natural, and I used the wraps and defining gel pre-pregnancy (and LOVED it). Any way, I asked my rep of the defining gel would be safe to use on my legs during pregnancy. She said yes, but I was wondering if any other ladies have ever used that while pregnant. I tend to get quite lumpy in my legs and hope to keep that at a minimum with defining gel once I hit 2nd tri.

From what I've read online, it is not safe to use during pregnancy. I too was hoping to be able to use the Defining Gel on other parts of my body. You can find the complete list of ingredients on their website. I went through each one and googled it to find out if it was safe during pregnancy and there were several that were definite no's.

I wouldn't risk it, personally.

I've tried the product as well since one of my friends is a rep. She said as a rep she would tell me that is was safe to use since its marketed as all natural, but as a friend she would tell me it's not worth the risk. So I kind if agree with PP...personally I'm staying away from it. Give yourself a break, you're pregnant! It's OK to have some lumps and bumps for the next few months
