Women looking to work the muscles on their legs, backside and lower abdomen even when they’re not in the gym can no do so with the Smartslip, an undergarment slash fitness equipment that can be worn outside while doing errands, and reportedly helps fight off the flab. Unlike the Scala Bio-Fir Underpants, the Smartslip works by applying resistance and thus forcing the muscles to work more than they would under normal circumstances.

Manufacturers guarantee weight loss and decreased cellulite in almost no time. Moreover, the fact that Smartslip has been designed like a high-waisted skirt also contributes to efficiently eliminate the much-dreaded muffin top. The idea is simple: a woman wearing a Smartslip is actually working out using her own clothes because of the built-in resistance band, while also looking as trendy as possible. The Smartslip can be worn either underneath a regular skirt or with exercise leggings for a more casual, sporty look.

“This is the incredible new ‘must-have’ exercise & slimming accessory for every woman on the go! Walk, do errands, go to work... with your Smartslip on... and get a comfortable workout with your own wardrobe! The Smartslip’s amazing fabric adds slight, ongoing resistance in every step, targeting hips, glutes and legs while you go about your normal day. For every woman concerned about fitness... take your next walk with a Smartslip on and feel the difference! Maximize your exercise or wear it any day you can’t get to the gym!” the manufacturers say of the revolutionary product.

As also noted above, the Smartslip comes in two length sizes: the above-knee is also high-waisted to help us rid ourselves of the muffin top; the mini Smartslip starts at the hips. A trendy woman, though, would probably buy both sizes to make sure she always has just the right model to put underneath her regular skirts and dresses, the manufacturers point out. Colors include black and white, with the latter being available only for the knee-long Smartslip.

Smartslip, a woman’s best fitness friend when out and about town, as it’s being described by the manufacturers, starts at $41.95 for the shorter length model, with the other option selling for $46.95. Although seemingly a very revolutionary and efficient fitness product, it is not supposed to and does not claim to replace a normal workout routine.
