Day 1 With the Squeem Vest

My Squeem Vest finally made it to my door, and I did not hesitate to try it on. I had read on a few reviews that the size charts were not accurate, but only a few people complained about the sizing issues. I wear a size XL tank top, and figure that a size XL Squeem Vest would be the correct sizing for me.

Thankfully I was correct. I imagine those who complained about the vest coming in the wrong size, tried ordering a size down hoping it would suck in more of their gut. Well ladies, you have to order the appropriate size, or you won't be able to get this vest on.

Mine came packaged in a lovely pink box, with care directions and all of that good stuff.

My first goal was to get the vest on.

I undressed and places the straps over my shoulders. I did not need to adjust them, they were sized perfectly for me, but for those who need to, you can adjust the straps to make them tighter, or loose.

In order to get the vest on, I had to lie down on my back on my bed, and slowly work each hook into place. There are approximately 2 rows of hooks allowing you to tighten the vest as you lose stomach weight. I had to start with the very last set of hooks. They are similar to bra hooks, and were easy to hook into place.

The Rubber Tire Smell?

Maybe for some, but not my Squeem Vest. It did have a very slight rubbery smell to it, but once the vest was on the scent vanished. However the rubber scent is not as dramatic and awful as some described it in their reviews on Amazon. You notice it once, and only once, the very first few moments after removing the vest from

A tip:

Start with the top hooks near your breast, and work your way down. When you stand up you can pull the vest down into place.

OK...

DAY 1

So I got the vest on without a problem. It took me a good while to get adjusted though. The squeem vest automatically props up your boobs, and makes them appear larger. Personally I did not like the extra assets, as it made me feel barrel chested at first.

Immediately while standing you feel like you are going to bust out of your vest, so you feel this driving force to sit up straight while sitting, and you will walk without a slouch. This is a good thing, as the vest improves not only your gut, but your posture in general.

The one thing I noted on day 1 was that the vest bunches up in the back a little, creating a ripple, which is not at all obvious unless you are wearing a super tight shirt. The bunching at first made me feel self conscious though, as if people behind me could see it, and would think it was a roll of back fat. I had to wear a light jacket over my shirt on the first day just so I would feel comfortable as I got used to wearing the vest.

I noticed that I began to sweat while wearing the vest, however the sweat was contained inside of the vest, this is how it works, you sweat due to the rubber, this is normal.

I wore the vest for a full 8 hours as directed. After removing it, I noticed a little reddening in my hip area, but nothing drastic, nor was there any skin pinching.

Now I wanted to cover some of the negatives that others have said about the vest.

-First and foremost, the shoulder straps do not dig into the skin and rip skin. If this is the case, then the vest you ordered is too small for your body. Order a size or 2 up.

-The vest will hook closed, if you ordered the appropriate size.

-The vest will not cut off circulation and cause breathing problems, if you ordered the correct size.

-The vest does not reek of a rubbery tire scent

What It Did For Me- Day 1

-It sucked in my gut, and gave me a much tighter and firmer looking stomach. I was happy with that.

-It lifted my boobs up a bit

-It caused me to sweat at my back and stomach

-It caused me to stop slouching while standing, walking, and sitting.

The whole purpose of the vest is to help you drop down a few pant sizes. After using it for just 8 hours, I must say that I do think it will work.

----My start off pant size = 14

Let's see if that number drops by day 30 shall we?
Get Yours!!!
