Hello Sweeties! This is T.J. from Sugar Blossoms and I’m so excited to be here today to share this DIY body wrap with you! School is out and I’m ready for summer but I have a problem: I don’t like how I look in a bathing suit. I’ve been working on losing weight but the fact that I’ve had 3 children has left me with a less-than-stellar stomach . . . if ya know what I mean.
Today I’m bringing you a wallet-friendly version of body wraps. I’ve been seeing these around the internet lately and mentioned them to a friend. She’s from Mexico and said she’s been doing those for years, just not the commercialized type. I tried it one night and lost .5 inches on my gut overnight! These wraps are great for when you need a quick fix for a wedding or beach trip! Of course eating and healthy and exercising is the best way to lose weight!
Here’s her “secret recipe” for DIY Body Wrapping. You only need 3 things:
DIY body wrap supplies
- Lotion (it’s best if it contains something from the ocean: seaweed, kelp, mud. I couldn’t find any, so I just used what I had on-hand.)
- Clear plastic wrap
- Bandage wrap
It’s a simple process!
Step 1 – Apply a thick layer of lotion to the area you want to target. {Don’t rub it in completely!} You can do it on your stomach, your thighs, your upper arms, wherever your “trouble spots” are.
Step 2 – Wrap the ENTIRE area with your plastic wrap. I went all the way around my mid-section several times. Make it snug but not tight; you do have to wear it ALL night long.
Step 3 – Now wrap the area with a long bandage of some kind, anything that will keep your wrap in place. Be sure to cover the plastic completely.
Secure it well and you’re ready to hit the sack!
The idea behind this is to help your body release water that’s retained due to weather, food consumption; even Mother Nature’s visits. The combination of lotion and plastic helps sweat it out of you.
I’ve only tried it once but I LOVED the result! Maybe a little something to help get you swimsuit ready. Let me know how it goes for you!

ACE BANDAGES CAN BE DANGEROUS. They tighten with movement, which seems good in this situation, but it’s not. I know because I messed up my body by messing with ace bandages
I did a vicks wrap, added tea tree oil and coffee grounds. Lost 4inches on my waist in an hour. I know it’s water weight. But whatever. I was happy.
Thank for sharing. I will try it
This looks interesting and will have to give this a try. Especially after seeing some of the other results posted in the comments. Does it really work overnight? I guess I’ll find out.
Great article. Thank for sharing, I’ll try this :D

Do you have to use a specific kind of lotion?
Your favorite, every day lotion should work! :)
Thanks for your tips helpful ;)
for the body wraps, I tried it with cinnamon and ginger and I saw a massive difference. I tried just the lotion waited two weeks then tried the lotion with 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon and 1/2 tablespoon of ginger mixed in and saw over double the results
