Okay it almost pains me to have to write reviews on body slimming compression products during summer. They’re usually hot, sticky, hard to get into and don’t even get me started on the getting out process. BUT I was happy to write about it when I tried on the CHEATA compression garments. They were comfortable, breathable and slimming and coming from a woman who is a little top heavy the compression TROTTER BRA was the perfect solution. The construction smoothed out my lumps and gave me the support I needed without limiting my range of movement or in my case wearing two bras. Next let’s fix the bottom half, the slimming COOL CAT UNDER TIGHT held everything together and admittedly my posture improved as a result. I felt better in the saddle, check.
Next we needed a true test. A tape measure test. Our Lifestyle Editor Maddy volunteered. The before and afters in the office were a hoot. Let’s just say it was very uplifting and we both laughed like never before. Skin colored compression gear is not only shocking but quite amusing. The results however were nothing to laugh at! Inches dissolved.
Let’s get started.
BEFORE
Maddy wears her regular gear of Ariat tri-factor top and Dublin riding tight. I pulled out the measuring tape. We must be thorough.
AFTER
The lumps smoothed out and all of sudden her breeches were too big. INCHES disappeared and we were both blown away. The difference was immediately noticeable in the before and after images. Now, I was really excited to ride in mine again because if I looked half as good as Maddy’s transformation I was killing it in the arena earlier.
