Our Insta Slim Review
Most discussions of Insta Slim bring up two points: Does it work? and Is it necessary? Regarding the first question, it does appear that Insta Slim provides a moderate amount of “slimming” to the midsection. It is essentially a very tight spandex shirt which you must squeeze into. Once you’ve put it on, you should noticed your midsection has the appearance of being smaller.
There are, of course, those ridicule a product which is essentially a modern girdle for men. Although the need for such a product could be debated, it is universally agreed upon that Insta Slim merely provides an illusion of a smaller waist – and that there is no benefit other than temporarily cosmetic.
A rarely noted potential drawback for Insta Slim – which would depend on your anatomy – is that some men may tend to look awkwardly top-heavy. That is, the fat from their chest area protrudes unnaturally while the stomach area is held in. Those with “man boobs” may want to evaluate these types of products in person before purchasing.
Products sold by the official Insta Slim Amazon store have a solid 4-star rating and consumer satisfaction with the product appears to be solid..
