  Is it the thing by "It Works"? I've seen it on my Facebook but haven't tried it. A friend of mine is a distributor and she's done 7 wraps with some pretty great results (and is piquing my interest!):
  
  
  Eta she's had 2 kids and these results are apparently since Easter so just over a month.

  I dont see how it is physiologically possible, short of filling the wraps with salt so you lose a ton of water, meaning you will gain all that weight back as soon as you stop using the product.
  
  Unfortunately there are no short cuts in weight loss and body sculpting. Substantial long term results require a healthy diet and exercise.

  This review kind of confirms what @GoogleMD said - yes they work but it's not a lasting change. It tightens and tones what you wrap, but you have to keep wrapping for forever if you want the results to stick. It may be nice prior to a big event where you want to slim down, but it won't last. 
  
  Too bad. I've always had jelly belly and wouldn't mind it disappearing

  A trick my ex used to use so he'd "make tape" for the military was to wrap his belly in saran wrap.  It makes you lose water weight and if you just want a slightly flatter belly for an evening or a special event, it works fine.  It's not a way to lose real weight or to get a consistently tighter, flatter belly. 
  

  If there's something strange underneath the hood.  Who you gonna call?  Your Doctor.  If there's something weird and it don't look good.  Who you gonna call?  Your Doctor.  Immediately.  If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor.  It's for your health and your child's.

  My husband has done this (Army). I actually wrap him and rub vitamin e oil and good bye cellulite gel "lotion" on his tummy before hand and it works 10 times better than the wraps. I'm not a fan of them to begin with but I agree if you're looking to look slimmer for an event then those are perfect. Definitely not long term though unless you wanna pay out the wazoo.

  Thanks, everyone! I'm just wanting to wear a particular dress for a wedding. I think I will try the saran wrap with the lotion.
