Hands up those of you who has a body part that always seems to let you down? Somehow hitting the gym, running in your lunch hour and braving the roads on a cycle just won’t budge that last wobbly bit.
If you were a celeb, you’d probably have cheated you way to the local cosmetic surgery by now, but living in the real world, we’ve searched high and low for some cheats.
Trinny and Susannah’s Original Magic Knickers
These two ladies have probably seen every problem area known to the female form – and it shows because their Original Magic Knickers really fits the bill. For instance, if you have a flabby belly, there is a knicker that shapes you from under your bra, right down to your knicker line. If it’s thunder thighs you hate, there is a knicker that magically shapes any lumps and bumps so you can brave that micro mini on a wild night out with the girls. With 11 styles to choose from, there is something for every body type.
Imagine how ecstatic I was that, five weeks after giving birth, the packet said it would help me drop a dress size! It didn’t do exactly that (I imagine only some relentless cardiovascular exercise could come close!) but it smoothes my post-baby belly enough for me to not have a muffin top when I wore a slightly fitted top. Perfect.

Perfect for breastfeeding mums, these are body shapers in the form of a vest, with little cut-outs so you can breastfeed. What is particularly nice about them is that it has some extra fabric that you can either tuck in or leave hanging to cover any skin if it rides up a bit when you sit down. Perfect.

Yummie Tummie Nursing T

What’s fantastic about the Nursing T is that the fabric is very stretchy so it’s very easy to wear – no nail-breaking here! This is probably one of the most thought-out product of it’s kind with the mother right at the forefront when it comes to designing it, as it’s very easy to pop on and off, and the cut-outs are the perfect shape – just enough space for your baby to latch on.

Panda licorice sweets
No this isn’t a mistake! We all need a sweet every so often, and going t-total can be very difficult. So imagine the look of glee when I was contacted by Panda and told that these sweets have ZERO calories! Yes, and there is a whole assortment of flavours, too!
